"Exceptional"

9.0

Cladirea este impresionanta, interiorul de asemenea. Camera spatioasa si curata.

Foarte multe scari. Nici macar intrarea in cladire nu are rampa. Micul dejun a fost bun dar cina nu mi-a placut deloc. In ultima noapte a inceput o petrecere care a tinut pana la 12 si ceva. Ne-a deranjat pentru ca noi am venit cu fetita noastra de un an si galagia o trezea..

Gute Lage, gutes Frühstück

Schönes Haus von aussen jedoch von Innen sehr in die Jahre gekommen, unser Zimmer war so klein dass wir nicht mal die Koffer öffnen konnten ohne Sie aufs Bett zu legen, wurde auch schon länger nicht mehr geputzt

"Overnight stay"

Good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Hot, uncomfortable room. Although we had been warned about the noise from the bar, it far exceeded what we expected.

"Would use again"

8.0

Central in Aviemore with good parking available and opposite the Railway Station.

Delays in seating for breakfasts, and we had one excellent steak for dinner but one inedible steak! as well! - they did compensate us on that…

"Tegenvallend verblijf, oud en muffig"

6.0

Personeel in de bar was super vriendelijk, de locatie is prima, parkeren is ook prima.

Het gebouw is sterk verouderd. Dat is op zich geen probleem, maar het was een stoffige, muffige bedoening. Het restaurant is ook niet geweldig (ga dus echt ergens anders eten). Het personeel bij de balie is meer met zichzelf en formuliertjes bezig dan met hun gasten.

"DON'T USE THE CARPARK AT THE CAIRNGORM HOTEL COSTLY MISTAKE"

2.0

Having visited this hotel for a drink & a bit to eat. On arrival at the Cairngorm Hotel Aviemore we were told by the receptionist to register our vehicle on there Tablet which we did. We then proceeded to the bar for drinks etc. I was SHOCKED to receive a fine a few weeks later for there car park totalling £100.00 for a couple of hours parking, having already asked if we could use there car park while we visited the hotel. I contacted the hotel on numerous days since receiving the fine & was told to contact smart parking which I did without any success. I have now had to pay the car park fine even thou we did as we were told by the hotel receptionist at the time. It was a very costly visit with no help from the hotel or there booking team.
