"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."

"The room was perfect for our short stay in Aviemore. The location was located perfectly and surprisingly quiet even though the main road is next to it. There is parking which is easily accessible and was located to the apartment right next to it."

"Room was clean, food not great, didn't appreciate getting my drink in a plastic pint glass"

"Great for young children, lots to do within the resort, breakfast was nice with lots of choice. Room was clean, but the hotel on a whole needing a bit of upgrading and decorating. Would recommend though and would return."

"This property was just perfect for my holiday needs. The host was very helpful in answering my questions regarding my stay."

"Great location. Some of the facilities are a bit outdated and could do with refurbishing. Accommodation was great just what we needed."

"This is a well-looked-after modern refurbishment of an older property. The rooms are compact but very nicely presented. There is a really nice restaurant downstairs as well The restaurant does really good breakfasts and has a good evening small plates menu "

"Really enjoyed our stay. A great holiday home with lots of space and all the amenities you could wish for. Secure garden was ideal for our dog. Property is well located, about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the centre of town."

"We had a wonderful stay. Just about everything you could think of was there for us and the WiFi was great! I had to do a Zoom interview one morning and had no issues. We loved the location. Very quiet but close enough to town that we had access to everything we needed. About a 55 min drive to the Lecht Ski centre from here. Worth it for all the amenities Aviemore has! Would absolutely stay again. "
