- Mariëtte (6/5): Geen waar voor je geld. - Het bed, nadat we van kamer gewisseld hebben op ons verzoek Slechte hygiëne en slecht onderhoud
Het glas bleef aan de tafel plakken
- Jean-Pierre (3/5): - Le pub attaché a l'hôtel est dégueulasse. Les gens dedans également. Des piliers de bar qui rotent et flatulent... Ça s'entendait jusque dans le restaurant que nous avons du coup fuis. La carte du restaurant qui propose des cartes de boissons sans aucun prix ni % d'alcool. La chambre était tellement mal insonorisée par rapport à la route qu'on a vérifié 3 fois que la fenêtre était bien fermée.
- john (8/5): - Location, comfy bed No hot water in the sink of room 401. The staff were great and gave access to room 403 so we could use the sink there.
- Theo (9/5): Aanrader vooral tijdens speyside whiskyfestival. - Mooi centraal gelegen hotel in een leuk dorp. Compleet hotel met bar en restaurant. De kamer die we hadden geboekt was erg klein maar wel netjes.
- Jason (8/5): - Very friendly staff, lovely breakfast each morning was a great setup for the day. Location is great for accessing the rest of Speyside and visiting distilleries. I couldn't quite get the sink water in the bathroom to run hot or cold consistently.
- Robert (7/5): Met expectations but stairs were difficult - Bar and restaurant at facility Had to carry luggage up several flights of stairs.
- Sam (8/5): -
- Roger (7/5): -
- Jiotonic (7/5): - 증류소 여행을 하기 좋은 위치에 있었으며, 주변에 큰편의점이 있어서 좋았습니다.
그리고 산책하기 좋은 코스(폭포, 강)가 가까이 있어서 편하게 쉬기 좋았습니다. 오래된 건물이다보니 방을 가기위해 오르락 내리락 하였습니다. 그래도 편했습니다.
- Wim Platenkamp (9/5): Gezellig hotel in hart van de Speyside. - Levendig hotel door restaurant en pub. Personeel zeer vriendelijk. De bedden lagen heerlijk. Goed badkamer. In de pub mensen uit het dorp. Gezellig. Hotel ligt centraal in de Speyside. Ben je slecht ter been, dan is dit hotel niet ideaal door de trappen en vele deuren.
- Derek (8/5): -
- Sara (9/5): Comfortable and relaxing stay with our two dogs - Very friendly staff
Accommodated for our two dogs
Very comfortable room

- Morne Carter (7/5): - Staff very friendly, and great location No hot water in the basin and reported it, nothing done. The bath plug also leaked so couldn't bath.

- Tim (4/5): - Breakfast wasn’t bad Room tiny and no en-suite, having to access the bathroom by leaving the room and up the common hallway was a first and an annoyance more than anything - room was over priced given this.
- seungseop (9/5): 전반적으로 만족스럽습니다 - 식당의 음식이 맛있고 방이 편안합니다 복도가 미로 같아 복잡합니다
- Lisa (8/5): The hotel was in the centre of Aberlour easy for the amenities we needed during our stay. - The cooked breakfast had a lot of meals to choose from. The continental breakfast not so many choices. The restaurant was pleasant to sit in and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I would have preferred mugs in the room to have tea or coffee. A small car park but we were able to park.

- Anangen (9/5): Bekvämt och fräscht hotell med bra läge mitt i Speyside. - Fräscht rum med skön säng. Frukosten bra med extra plus till att det gick att få gröt, nödvändigt för oss löpare i Dramathon :) Inget speciellt. Nöjd med allt.
- Julianne (3/5): A hotel in terrible condition - Located close to walks and distillery. Quiet enough but on a busy road. Staff were nice and breakfast was fine. In terrible condition. Marks everywhere. Hot tap broken. One light broken. I brought someone here for their birthday and was so embarrassed. Not worth the money.
- caroline (8/5): Bel accueil, lits excellents - La qualité du lit et des serviettes, la décoration de la chambre La chambre est un peu petite. Et odeur de moisi dans la SDB
pour le petit déjeuner, dommage que nous ne soyons pas installés dans la belle salle aux murs gris. Sinon tout était parfait
- elaine (8/5): - The hotel was a good bolt hole for visiting family.
It's a popular place with local people at times and staff are helpful and friendly.
I was very happy with the room. Very well presented with fresh white bedding and a nice new bathroom.
Wasnt sure what to expect on arrival, but our room was brilliant.
Didnt want to leave such comfortable bed's.
😀
- oguzhan (10/5): - Great staff
- Zsolt (9/5): -
- Jonas (8/5): Kleinschalig familiehotel met top service - Vriendelijke eigenaars. Lekker ontbijt. /
- William (10/5): - I have been travelling for 2 weeks and this is, by far, the best accommodations i have had. The room was very clean, well equipped and had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom and shower were awesome. The restaurant was good value. Breakfast was the best! Great server and excellent food to start your day. The guy at reception was friendly, clear on explaining the hotel amenities and helpful. Just an excellent experience there all around.
- John (10/5): Lovely Hotel - What a fantastic hotel, great food and good vibes throughout the hotel.
A bonus was the Cullen Skink from the current World Champion that i took home, my wife and I can confirm that it was indeed worthy of the award.
- Carolyn (6/5): - Staff were nice, bar bit tacky, it lacks a residents lounge. Dinner was poor but breakfast very good. Bit tired in general.
- Gerhard (9/5): -
- מחול (8/5): - המקום נגיש לכל אלו שרוצים לבקר מזקקות באזור ספייסיד, הצוות מדהים באמת, הבר צנוע יחסית, לעתים עובדים עד 00:00/00:30 ולילות אחרות 22:30, יש חניה במקום, סורפמארקט ליד, חנות לקנית וויסקי ליד, קיצור מיקום מצויין. ארוחת בוקר טובה, יש כמה אפשריות לבקש המקום צנוע, הבר גם, לא מגישים וויסקי בכוסות מתאימות וחבל (במיוחד שמי שמגיע לאזור שם כנראה חובב וויסקי), יש להם גינס לשתות לאוהבים אבל לא חבית, הבר נסגר בשעות מוקדמות (22:30 או 22:00)
- Alfred (10/5): - Great staff, good food, all clean
Rooms different but comfy
Nice breakfast Parking area a bit small, but ok
- Michaela (9/5): -
- Raymond (7/5): Overalliked the hotel and staff but room let it down - Accessibility to Speyside and lovely situation next to the Spey. Room average, carpet stained and shower had black mould around the edges of the shower.
- Maria Belen (10/5): - Great place!! The rooms are very comfortable and the staff is amazing!!
- claude (10/5): - Had a great time. Nice accomodation..close ti Aberlour distillery
- Tracie (8/5): Everything I hoped for - Comfortable rooms with friendly staff Didn’t stay longer
- Stables (8/5): -
- Marc (9/5): - Wir waren auf unserer Schottland-Rundreise für eine Nacht hier.
Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür. Zimmer groß, Bad groß, Betten bequem. Da gibt es nichts zu meckern. Als wir auf unser Zimmer gewartet haben, haben wir die Zeit genutzt und ein kleines Mittagessen zu uns genommen. Das ist qualitativ etwas ausbaufähig. Aber das hat er mit dem Zimmer nichts zu tun.
- Wayne (10/5): Would recommend this location. - Very nice reception upon checking into the hotel. Everything was great.
- Louis (9/5): -
- Jill (8/5): great location, just make sure the price is locked down and correct when booking - cracking base for our family get together, very comfortable and friendly staff, could not fault it I did not like that the price first quoted months before our visit changed, and we had to accept the changes as there was nothing else available in the area due to it being games weekend, use this site lots and this was the first time this had happened, was not impressed.
- Joanne (7/5): -
- Jonathan (7/5): - Sehr freundliches und hilfreiches Personal. Zimmer mit sehr großem (Kingsize) Bett und insgesamt guter Einrichtung. Frühstück sehr gut mit allen möglichen Zutaten. Bad mit Abflussstörungen am Waschbecken und Dusche mit inkonstanter Temperatur.
- Kiah (5/5): Central but loud if your room faces the street - It was very central It was very noisy. We got a room overlooking the Main Street and did not sleep well as a result. The hotel should consider some double glazing or similar.
- Iain (4/5): Over priced. - The cost of the room for one night b&B was very excessive for a small independent hotel. People for friendly and obliging but hotel is not 4 star and above. Hotel is a little bit aged. As above
- Fab Isa Dessachy (10/5): - Très sympa, et rapport qualité prix au top C'est qu'il fallait mettre une affiche surr la porte pour demander que la chambre soit faite.
- ELO 59 (8/5): Very nice - A very nice hotel, central in the city. Good food and breakfast. The room was equipped with a vinyl player, that was a very nice surprise for us. A little noisy since the hotel is located at main street but that we understood already when we booked the hotel. The traffic is not so heavy during the night.
- Paul (8/5): -
- Laurent (8/5): -
- Francesca (8/5): - Hotel pulitissimo, staff gentile e amichevole, cibo molto buono. Ci siamo trovati benissimo
- Paul (8/5): -
- Brian (8/5): Good location - Nice location but considering this hotel won 4 in a bed not long ago, looks like it’s slipped a bit.. cracks in the walls, mould in the shower.
- Kenny (8/5): -
- Susan (10/5): -
- Yoshitaka (7/5): -
- Stéphane (5/5): Prix intéressant pour 1 nuit - Bon emplacement, restaurant correct mais un peu cher et petit déjeuner simple. Chambre très mal isolée des bruits de la route qui est très fréquentée.
Toiles d’araignées et araignées mortes dans différents coins du plafond.
Moquette salle et ventilation de la salle de bain inopérante.
- Shivantha (9/5): - Good location, friendly staff and nice food
- valerie (10/5): Parfait. Petit déjeûner extra - Hôtel très bien situé en plein centre. Nous avions une chambre familiale avec un grand lit double et un lit simple (nous sommes un couple avec un ado de 19 ans). Literie très confortable. Salle de bain spacieuse. La chambre est grande. Le personnel est très sympa. Le petit-déjeûner est fabuleux. On se gare facilement dans la rue. Bref, parfait.
- Simone (9/5): Excellent service, food, and location. - The staff were excellent - very friendly and incredibly hard working. Nothing was too much trouble, including during the Highland Games, which places exceptional demands on them. No complaints.
- Heike (7/5): Netter Aufenthalt in einem typischen Landhaus Hotel - Zentrale Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, großes sauberes Zimmer, tolle Dusche, unkompliziertes Ambiente Zimmer zur Straße raus (lauter Verkehr)
- Pooja (7/5): - Friendly staff, cute decor very thoughtful touch with the record player in the room.. Rooms were hot, no a/c and one of the rooms didn't even have a fan. We requested it and we're told by the staff that here was a fan placed in the room a few times and there wasn't.
- Frank (10/5): - Small hotel with excellent service and a family style feel. Will definitely stay here again
- Jean-Christophe (9/5): -
- Kearns (5/5): Nice location with okay food - Staff were very friendly and the location was great. The Cullen Skink was also very nice. Food in general was a bit greasy. The milk at breakfast was off and curdled in my cup of tea. Paint was peeling off the wall in our room/bedroom.
- Rosalie (6/5): Great location - Located in a great location. Handy to walk to the Aberlour distillery which is why we chose it We were on the top 2 floors and unfortunately as the weather was hot this made our rooms very uncomfortable. They supplied fans but this wasn’t enough to cool down the rooms. Also, there were a lot of stairs to climb to our rooms.
- Christie (8/5): - This was a quaint hotel, we enjoyed the back patio area very much. Staff was super nice.
- Claudia (10/5): Gostei muito - O hotel é muito confortável. É como se fosse uma casa, então não tem elevador, apenas escada, mas o quarto é muito bonito e acolhedor. O restaurante é bem gostoso, frequentado inclusive pelos locais. Café muito bom. Estacionamento gratuito na parte de trás. Tudo ok.
- Mary (8/5): A lovely Speyside choice. - Kind staff, good breakfast, free car park.
- Marcio (7/5): Bom para visitar as destilarias, alto custo pelo benefício - Tamanho do quarto e funcionárias do café da manhã Muitas escadas e atendimento da recepção
- Choyen (7/5): - Location is good, food and service match the price
- SAYUMI (8/5): 満足しました。 - 食事がとても美味しかったです。
- Deon (8/5): -
- Martin Schulz (5/5): Guter Aufenthalt für 1 Nacht, aber sehr kleines Zimmer mit sehr kleinem Bad an lauter Hauptstrasse - Gemütliches Mittelklasse-Hotel mitten im Zentrum von Aberlour mit eigenem Restaurant mit guter Küche. Das Bett hatte eine gute Matratze. Das Zimmer war sehr klein mit kleinem Badezimmer, das ein winziges Waschbecken enthielt. Ausserdem war die Hauptstrasse ziemlich laut.
- Richard (10/5): Wir hoffen wieder kommen zu können - Sehr freundliches Personal. Prima Frühstücksbüffet. Tolle Lage für unsere Whisky Verkostungen.
- Karin (7/5): - Freundlicher Service, gute Lage. Fotos von Zimmer und Restaurant zeigen nicht den Istzustand des Hotels, sondern lassen mehr erwarten!
- Deirdre (6/5): - Easy walk to everywhere in town
No morning coffee in Am. Coffee only available with breakfast. Staff not available at reception.
- Kevin (9/5): -
- jocelyne (10/5): Séjour inoubliable - Tout, super hôtel très propre et confortable, jolie chambre et très belle salle de bain, le seul inconvénient comme dans toute l'Écosse on dîne très tôt le soir Rien, continuez comme cela
- Julia (9/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt mit Verbesserungspotenzial im Restaurant - Wir haben eine Nacht im Aberlour Hotel verbracht, da es ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Besuche der Speyside-Destillerien ist. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir sehr freundlich von einem Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption empfangen und konnten gleich unser Zimmer beziehen sowie einen Tisch fürs Abendessen reservieren.
Unser Zimmer befand sich im obersten Stockwerk mit Blick auf die Hauptstraße. Es war angenehm groß und mit einem sehr bequemen Bett ausgestattet. Man merkt dem Zimmer allerdings sein Alter an – kleinere Abnutzungsspuren sind sichtbar, was aber für einen Kurzaufenthalt absolut in Ordnung ist.
Fazit: Ein charmantes Hotel mit gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für Kurzaufenthalte in der Region. Freundlicher Empfang und gute Zimmer, beim Restaurantservice ist aber noch deutlich Luft nach oben. Was leider nicht überzeugen konnte, war das hoteleigene Restaurant. Der Service war insgesamt sehr unaufmerksam. Wir mussten lange warten, bis unsere Bestellung aufgenommen wurde, und auch auf Getränke und Essen warteten wir ungewöhnlich lang. Eine Bestellung wurde zudem falsch gebracht, und die Reaktion der Kellnerin darauf war eher unfreundlich. Positiv hervorzuheben ist jedoch die Küchenchefin, die sich persönlich und sehr freundlich für das Versehen entschuldigt und das richtige Gericht gebracht hat. Während des Essens wurden wir jedoch nicht mehr beachtet – die Servicekräfte unterhielten sich lieber untereinander.
