"Great location and view"

"It was a wonderful place to stay and the service was white glove. Highland charm with 5 star service. Can't wait to book our next stay. "

"Good size car par adjoining the hotel which was easy to park in."

"Neil was absolutely lovely, welcoming and a gracious host. Spectacular views and a lovely property. Absolutely appreciated the warmth and hospitality!"

"The hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The rooms were well maintained, although they felt slightly dated in terms of decor. One improvement I would strongly suggest is installing soft-close door mechanisms, as the doors tend to slam loudly. Unfortunately, one guest on my floor repeatedly let their door slam early in the morning (between 6 and 8 am), which was quite disruptive."

"Staff is very kind, helpful and friendly. The bar and restaurant is good, plenty of options in the menu and the drinks. swimming pool is great , a bit small but incredibly pleasant and a plus for your stay. Food at the restaurant is decent and portions are big, the bar atmosphere is great. Plenty of hot breakfast- could do with a bit more pasty options and the coffee is not great; wish I could ask for a proper drink instead of the wishy- washy one. Rooms are a bit tired but nicely newly refurbished bathrooms. Not the most luxurious place but overall a pleasant experience. "

"Nice location near the train station. (STEAM TRAINS) Had a pleasant walk with around the area after our evening meal. Which was very nice. Breakfast was very nice."

"We were woken at 7am by a fire alarm and had to evacuate our room with a baby and a 6-year-old, only for it to stop before we even reached the muster point. It was later explained, quite casually, that it was caused by someone showering with the bathroom door open. Given there’s a sign warning about “sensitive” alarms, this doesn’t feel like a one-off and isn’t acceptable in a family hotel where sleep is already precious. We stayed at Macdonald Aviemore Resort as a family of four. When we raised this, along with a broken kettle, reception initially offered complimentary breakfast but later withdrew it after checking with a manager, which felt poorly handled. The hotel itself feels tired and in need of investment. Our room was small, especially with a cot, the shower was only lukewarm, and carpets were dirty with an unpleasant smell. The lift also smelt strongly of smoke. There are positives: the pool and facilities are good and we enjoyed them, though some maintenance is needed (hair dryers out of order, puddles on the floor, drains not very clean). The outdoor park is great for kids but also showing wear. Aviemore is a fantastic location, but the resort feels like it’s relying on that rather than maintaining standards, it’s certainly not 4 star. With better upkeep, it could be much better."

"Such a lovely place, what a location. We first went in late 2020 and had a wonderful suite, this time we were in a standard room. We had a loch view which was lovely as we were celebrating two birthdays! The staff are so friendly, thank you all. There is a newer more modern part and the older historic building - we’ve been in the older bit both times. As the building is older, you can’t expect it to be clinical like a new build! There might be some dust in nooks and crannies but we have and will return. We ate in the restaurant, cullen skink / chicken tikka starters and Scottish stew / shish tawook main. We both enjoyed and would have again."
