Guest Reviews

• David (10/5): -
• Deverill (7/5): The room was comfortable and clean. - I was a bit disappointed in the breakfast. It was continental style but I prefer a warmed croissant. No opportunity for that. I developed a sore tummy soon after I ate the German sausage on the Wednesday morning. In fact, I felt poorly for two days. The staff were very nice especially the lady who cleaned the room.
• Benjamin (8/5): Clean tidy rooms at a very reasonable rate - Ideal location for where I needed to be Separate accommodation block behind the pup, it was lively on the Saturday night but not overly noisy
• Challinor (8/5): good clean accomodation -
• Claudia (8/5): - Badezimmer alt und nicht saubet
• Gillian (8/5): Comfortable stay. Friendly staff. Nice food. Local lady Alice was a joy! - Easy location, central in the town centre. Is a little dated. Could do with replacing some of the floorboards in rooms.
• Scullion (10/5): -
• Heather (10/5): -
• Okafor (10/5): Short but lovely - Excellent staff Nothing
• Jim (5/5): Decent value for money. - It was central close to amenities. Was a bit tired sink cracked. Shower not very clean.
• Malcolm (9/5): Ideal location, clean rooms, and very friendly staff, quick service and good bar food. Thanks to all at the Stag - Clean and tidy room, also the staff were very welcoming on arrival N/A all good
• Graham (9/5): Central of town, excellent value for money, nice, clean & comy. - It was clean, warm and better than my expectations. Lovely ‘delivered’ basket breakfast. Great value for money. Nothing
• John (10/5): -
• John (8/5): Brief Overnight Stay - Good Value Straightforward Accommodation - Very central. Room warm and comfortable. Bathroom not ultra modern but perfectly OK. Adjoining Bar for food and drinks if wished. Several restaurants nearby if other food preferred. Breakfast arrived promptly at 9am. The slection of items in the breakfast selection seemed a bit odd to us. Possibly because of the inclusion of sweetened yoghurts, a strange oaty/porridge pot, sweet muffins, wheaty bars etc. The croissants, jam and fruit we did appreciate and we took the mixed salamis home for future use.
• Charles (8/5): Handy base when visiting the magical Crathes Castle - It was very clean. It is in the centre of Banchory around a 50 minute walk from the Crathes Castle parkrun start and a big park next to the Dee nearby. As it's an extension to an hotel there was quite a lot of noise from the outside bar area. The tea/coffee, food provided were not great. Only minor quibbles really.
• Charles (6/5): Value and basic - Room was fairly comfortable and clean if a bit dated It's part of a busy bar so expect a lot of noise until about 1pm at weekends
• Brian (10/5): Met some old friends and really enjoyed the Saturday night entertainment. - Central location. Friendly staff. Great continental breakfast N/A
• Susan (7/5): The place is value for money to be honest, and very well located central to the town. - Location is brilliant and we were lucky to be able to park right outside. The barman greeted us with a smile which was very welcome after a 10 hour drive to get there. He was very helpful with getting us our keys and showing where our room was as this was a late arrival (midnight) The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, especially when I turned on the fan whilst having a shower!
• Andy (9/5): - Friendly staff, comfortable beds & hot showers. No complaints here
• Mark (9/5): -
• Stuart (10/5): -
• Hilary (8/5): Very reasonably priced, great location, brilliant breakfast basket. - Great location, excellent breakfast basket, friendly staff, bar downstairs was busy, but we were aware of this, so it was ok. Good supply of tea/coffee 👍 Crack in the sink, room a bit cramped, but clean and cosy ☺️
• Reid (10/5): - Friendly staff, clean room, quiet and comfortable.
• James (10/5): -
• Susan (9/5): Excellent value both in in the bar and for the accommodation. - Comfortable stay and excellent value for money. The staff were very welcoming. Breakfast came in a basket (continental) and there was more than enough choices in it eg porridge, yogurts, fruit/fruit juice No parking but there is some in the street behind. It is pay station car park however it is free on Sundays.
• Norman (9/5): -
• BRADLEY (9/5): -

• Irene (1/5): - It was grim, I had to have my breakfast then night before in my room or wait till after 9am Only got one breakfast not 2 days No hot drink with breakfast unless I made one in the room It hostile at the bar. I didn't feel welcome Some people at the bar made unpleasant remarks There was no where to eat breakfast. Grim
• Wilma (8/5): - Perfect for visiting family in the area, easy to get checked in, and could come and go as needed. Skirting boards could do with a clean.

• Corall Castanys (7/5): Correcte - Habitació correcte. Les pizzes del restaurant de l'hotel boníssimes. Podria haver estat més net.

• Janusz (7/5): -
• Robb (8/5): -
• Katie (1/5): Disappointing - The room was freezing, the breakfast we thought we’d at least get to go to the bar but a basket with a few breakfast items including a croissant in a packet, some juice and ham. Oh a pot noodle.
• Nicholas (9/5): - Great value for money. Room was clean and had everything you need. Would stay again.
• denise (9/5): Great stay but bed wasn’t the comfiest but there’s nothing like your own bed - Location superb staff ace Couldn’t fault
• Peter (8/5): -
• Thomas (5/5): - Es war recht beengt, kaum Platz für Gepäck Abends war Karaoke im Haus, das dauerte bis spät in die Nacht
• Jessica (7/5): - Der Pub unten war nett. Das Zimmer lag im Nebengebäude, daher war vom Pub nichts zu hören. Einfache Einrichtung. Für eine Nacht vollkommen ok. Einfaches Frühstück wurde morgens aufs Zimmer gebracht.
• David (3/5): Disappointing - Location was good. Staff very friendly Breakfast was continental delivered to the room no where to eat it so we took it away. actual rooms did not feel very secure
• Alison (8/5): -
• Caitlin (8/5): Convenient Stay! - We were attending a wedding at Ballogie House so the location was great for us. They were really accommodating for us and our rooms were ready before check in so we could leave our bags before travelling to the wedding. They also recommended a taxi service who were brilliant. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. As it was a Saturday night, there was a lot of noise in the evening when we returned home. However, this didn’t bother us at all but we imagine it could bother some people.
• Michael (6/5): -
• Thomas (10/5): Enjoyable short stay no complaints. - Very convenient right in the Town No car parking at the Stag but found free parking just down the road.
• mary (7/5): - Breakfast was great and staff were lovely Very noisy but that could have been because it was a Saturday night
• Katrin (9/5): -
• Zsolt (1/5): Awful experience, never stay there - Nothing really The first room we got was not cleaned. Noisy guests in the pub and in the hotel.
• Theresa (10/5): - Die Lage war super, es war sehr sauber, gemütlich und zudem sehr günstig. Es war keine richtige seife da, dafür aber Shower Gel, was man auch als handseife nutzen konnte.
• Philip (7/5): The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and being at the end of the corridor the room was quiet - N/a The shower tray didn’t drain well, the outlet was clogged.
• stephen (6/5): - Excellent price good WiFi and clean. Large continental breakfast basket delivered every day. Very noisey. Rooms are strictly non smoking , great, but we had to pass heavily used outside smoking area to get to room, not great
• Manuel (7/5): -
• Lorenzo (7/5): -
• Leisa (7/5): - Location A bit noisy with the pub patrons smoking beneath our rooms
• Ian (4/5): Bring ear plugs - Staff were great,room was good.They supplied us with earplugs! Room 2 was a nightmare with the noise from the pub which went on until 1am which is fine for the punters but not us. Wouldn't stay here again even for the convenience it offers
• Alexander (4/5): Unfriendly staff. Breakfast only available from 9:00 a.m. The rooms are acceptable. - The hotel was in a good location. The nearest pub was across the street. The staff was very unfriendly. Our keys were thrown at us in the hotel bar. We were not shown our rooms. It was only possible to have breakfast after 9:00 a.m., which we found a bit strange. However, we did receive a breakfast basket. The packaged food was not particularly tasty. In room 8, there was a risk of flooding when showering. When we handed over the keys, there was a completely drunk woman in the bar who tried to touch and harass my younger nephew (12 years old). That was not a good experience!
• MICHAEL (8/5): -
• Moira (8/5): Great central location. Hassle free check in/check out. All you need for a night away. - Central location. Free parking just along the road. Friendly staff and good pub. Pizza was lovely. Thought the mirror in bedroom was in a weird place. Awkward for viewing when drying hair. Applying make up. Everything else was good for an overnight stay.
• Giuseppe Mario (7/5): Tappa da Edimburgo a Inverness - Camera comoda con piacevoli materassi duri (a quanto pare una rarità nel Regno Unito). Il pub sottostante crea un po' di confusione, ma rende il posto più allegro.
• Kazimierz (10/5): -
• Cadman (5/5): -
• Hilary (8/5): Comfortable and welcoming - Cleanliness of room and location A bit lively for me but I expected that
• Shirley (10/5): Comfortable great value stay - Great value for money. Nicely appointed modern rooms that give you a very comfortable stay. Friendly staff and a great pub downstairs. Parking nearby. Great if going to a function in Banchory.
• Giacomo T (8/5): A nice stay - The room was nice, clean, cosy but a little dated. We appreciated the little breakfast corner in the room, with the kettle, tea and snack. The hotel is in the center of the town, with parkings on the street and near the restaurants. If I could change anything I would replace the bathtub with a shower and improve the acoustic insulation.
• Malcolm (7/5): - Value for money Cooked breakfast not available. Window located opposite an air handling g unit. It was too warm to sleep with the windows closed but too noisy to sleep with the windows open.
• Peter (9/5): Schönes einfaches Pub mit Zimmern. Zu empfehlen. - Der Pub mit dem Zimmer ist einfach und sehr schön. Das Zimmer prima, zu empfehlen! Die Zimmer liegen in einem Nebengebäude des Pub, sodass man die Geräusche aus der Kneipe nicht hört. Ungewöhnlich! Die Geräuschdämmung zu einem Nachbarzimmer ist mangelhaft - aber das ist in UK ja nichts Ungewöhnliches. Wir hatten Pech mit den Nachbarn. Sonst keine Klagen!
• Susan (8/5): - Good location. Clean room, comfortable bed. Nothing really.
• Jane (8/5): The Stag is a popular local hostelry in the centre of Banchory. It was all I wanted - a clean room, a comfy bed and conv -
• Snaddon (8/5): -
• Andrew (8/5): -
• Meg (6/5): Bien! - Bien situé, propre, en quand même confortable. Vraiment vraiment très bruyant le soir!!
• David (5/5): Seagull city - loud noisy pests in a down market sports bar setting of hard core regulars - prepare to feel uncomfortabl - Excellent breakfast basket collected from the bar for breakfast the evening before far exceeded what I expected and provided a good breakfast Basic amenities but satisfactory generally if little tired Off street parking for free nearby Colony of seagulls living on flat roof of property and adjacent buildings making extensive and loud screeching late into evening and waking me up at 4am as daylight appeared they are very loud like being in the film the birds Bird mess all over the building exterior - if you want a decent nights sleep don’t stay here Very much a down market sports bar with rooms adjacent Hard core clientele which is pretty unsettling when entering the bar to check in as there is no reception or signs where to go indeed the bar man has a book with your details and you queue as if to order a drink to get your key being eyed all the time by the regulars Stairs to rooms no lift and access through the small crowded outside smoking area which is again unsettling and unwelcoming when full or regulars you have to push past to access your room Stayed two nights but wouldn’t recommend it - it’s ok if you’re ok with the set up but better options very close
• Diane (9/5): - The lovely breakfast bought to us in our room was delicious and good value
• Natacha Farradeche (8/5): Super hôtel - Le personnel est accueillant et disponible! C'est au calme malgré qu'il y ait un pub, c'est propre et confortable ! Rien
• Gillian (6/5): Basic with an excellent location. - It was basic and all we needed for this be night stay. Breakfast was continental, available in a basket either to pick up the evening before or after 9 am. It was ok just a mix of biscuits, cakes,pot of porridge, etc. Sheets were poly cotton and smelt of fabric conditioner which affects my sinuses.
• Andy (8/5): - All good
• Jo (8/5): -
• Malcolm (8/5): - It was clean and on the Main Street Very noisy outside from a other pub a cross the road
• Dorothée (7/5): Idéal pour point de chute - Chambre parfaite pour un point de chute - Rapport qualité / prix parfait - Très bonne literie Déçue du PDJ - L'isolation phonique est limite
• lindsay (1/5): Very poor - Not much. It is a pub with all the drinkers outside. The accommodation is very basic. The noise from the outside drinkers went on until after one in the morning. I would not recommend it at all !!!
• GISELE (8/5): -
• Lisa (7/5): -
• JUAN MANUEL VADILLO (8/5): - La amabilidad y predisposición del chico que nos atendió. El horario del desayuno comenzaba a las 09:00h
• Iain (10/5): -
