1.0 / 10.0

Room was dated, lighting didn’t light the space, room was never cleaned despite us asking on numerous occasions. Mould on bathroom ceiling and taps. Rusty radiators. Threadbare carpets. Unhelpful staff. Very expensive food and drinks on site. Breakfast was poor quality in choice and quality. Pastries always undercooked. Toast never actually toasted. Hot food over salted and often burnt.

2.0 / 10.0

Staff were nice enough. Room kidding on it was posh. Poor job hoovering though my daughter made some money on the coins found. Not so happy she was picking up Kirby grips, sharp hair pins, hair bobbles and those things plastic tags from new clothes from our room floor. Great finds for a family room when you have a young child. Some suspect substances on bedroom wall and back of toilet door (green). No information about what was on in resort. All posters up about cinema times/films more than a week out of date. No info on ice rink. Nothing about the play room next to pool and soft play. No opening times, what they offered. Assumed it was just for toddlers from what we could see through window. Until we noticed a young girl with craft stuff. Sign at our hotel reception gave pool opening hours but said to ask at pool reception for info on times for slide and eaves. Walked over for the guy at the pool to keep repeating the pool is open now like we had two heads Then of course we go a different day to discover not only was the slide not open yet but they had no towels. Pool was freezing, not just a little cold. Spa pool broken, steam room out of order. Thought there might have been evening entertainment on for kids as it is a family resort...not that we found despite it being the Scottish October holiday. Whilst breakfast was fine and staff attentive. Having so many stand and watch ready to pounce when you put a bowl down is disconcerting. Restaurant in our hotel shut.

3.0 / 10.0

Pretty average in general. No complaints at all.

5.0 / 10.0

Great stay and a fantastic location

8.0 / 10.0

The property is dated and it shows on the outside and in the rooms. The room was spacious enough for a family of for for a couple of nights. Breakfast was of a good standard and the access to the soft play and pool was good, the pool was freezing however so we didnt stay long.

3.0 / 10.0

Breakfast was basic but fine, bar service was terrible, barman didn’t know what he was doing. Rooms not serviced and shabby but adequate. Pool changing areas filthy, pool cold. Kids loved the soft play area. Location good. Staff friendly but not enough of them.

2.0 / 10.0

Hotel is very tired. Rooms are ok nothing special not for the price anyway! No glasses at the bar for our pint of beer. No food served in bar downstairs. Toilets in bar are horrible. For the price they charged for a stay there, i wouldnt spend the money again!

5.0 / 10.0

Well suited for a family holiday. Great location, stunning scenery. Highly recommend.

4.0 / 10.0

Dirty rooms , carpets need to be replaced. Bathroom stains. Mouldy. In desperate need of renovations.

6.0 / 10.0

Everything is ok except the rooms which are now out dated, without aircon or ventilation. Activities are good and surroundings are amazing. But the resort and rooms need a major refurbishment.

2.0 / 10.0

The hotel itself was fine - cheap and cheerful - and the staff there were really helpful and even gave us leisure passes despite arriving earlier than check in. What let the rating down and lets Macdonald hotels down overall was the terrible experience we had at the Italian restaurant despite knowing 2 of our party are gluten intolerant the 2x attempts at bringing inedible stone cold (uncooked/frozen) pizza bases and then expecting to charge the full bill in full view of rest of restaurant.

3.0 / 10.0

The Macdonald aviemore hotel needs some updating but generally clean and tidy. The reception staff on the day got the job done but he wasn’t very friendly. We asked for a fan to which we got a two word reply ‘no fans’. My daughter left some belongings in a drawer after we checked out and after contacting the hotel several times we have not had any response about getting them back. The housekeeping staff apparently give the room a thorough clean including the drawers and so therefore should have found the belongings. Despite giving our date of stay and room number they haven’t been in touch. This is disappointing and I would have expected more.

6.0 / 10.0

Property was a little dated and the waterpark was small. Our kids age 12 and 14 were too old to enjoy the full experience that younger kids would like. Dinner at Italian restaurant was good as was buffet breakfast.

8.0 / 10.0

Showing signs of wear and tear outside particularly. Staff very friendly, but overall perhaps a bit overpriced

10.0 / 10.0

Stayed for the weekend with the family (2 adults & 2 kids aged 8 & 6). Room was a good size and clean. Great amenities on site - playpark, cinema, swimming pool, soft play & amazing pizza at the resort's Italian restaurant.

5.0 / 10.0

We stayed for a couple of nights for a family getaway. The hotel was really nice, well maintained and needs we're comfy. Breakfast was good. The pool was a little smaller than expected and not very warm, but our 2 year old loved it

2.0 / 10.0

Hotel is dated and run down. The room had a musty smell. Breakfast buffet is awful. Staff were friendly

4.0 / 10.0

Confusion re what Hotel we were booked into (3 on the property). Paid extra for bunk beds and extra TV received neither ie 2 put up beds instead. Buffet breakfast very disorganised. Food kept running out, butter, milk coffee etc from a H and S prospective dangerous practice to be expected to carry hot tea and coffee from buffet to table whilst children walking about.

2.0 / 10.0

Hotel is really run down. Facilities are good but in need of a deep clean and upgrade. Room is dated and had a damp smell.

10.0 / 10.0

The hotel is close to shopping, public transportation, and many sights in the Cairgorm National Park. Dinner options are available to guests with reservations, and the room was as advertised.

10.0 / 10.0

We had a nice stay at MacDonald Aviemore! The staff was friendly and welcoming and the location was central to the shops and restaurants.

3.0 / 10.0

The part of the resort we stayed in whilst cleanliness couldn’t be faulted is beginning to look a bit tired. The food at the Fish Bar on the first night could have been better. There was no table check. We found the fish a little greasy but lovely chips. The room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast both mornings and would have liked the cooked food to be a little hotter. For some reason (no explanation given) we were shown to a different part of the hotel for Sunday breakfast albeit others were shown through to where we had been the previous day. The ambiance of the Saturday morning room was far better. Again the cooked food temperature was a little wanting. Overall stay was “okay “

3.0 / 10.0

The room was very small for a family of 4, the bunk bed area tiny and a bad whiff of body odour. Not value for money unfortunately

1.0 / 10.0

Dated, certainly not 4 star!!

6.0 / 10.0

Can’t fault the staff and cleanliness of the hotel and facilities but the hotel itself is very tired externally. Flaking paint etc makes the building look awful and doesn’t give a good first impression for tourists. Other negative point is having to pay an extra £2.50 to get a latte out of the coffee machine at breakfast at time. This is rediculous when many low budget hotels have this included with breakfast.

6.0 / 10.0

Excellent location, liked the concept with plenty of options for dining across the resort and good was good. Resort had good leisure facilities, shared with all accommodation within the complex. Location is ideal for families. Property consistent with type of hotel and age. Beds were very comfortable. Staff pleasant.

4.0 / 10.0

Pool area needs to be improved, walls and floor need to be throughly cleaned

3.0 / 10.0

Was okay overall but hotel was a little tired looking, bin in room wasn’t emptied and bathroom was dirty

2.0 / 10.0

Travelled with our family for a few nights in Aviemore, we have had a great time exploring the area but the resort really needs a major overhaul. The hotel is extremely tired and cleanliness is of a very low standard. Public areas and bedrooms need a deep clean and updating. We were booked on a B&B package, the hotel breakfast really isn’t up to much so we used local cafes instead. The elevator isn’t working and I assume this has been like this for sometime as we were told at check in it’s broken indefinitely. To give some positive feedback any staff we spoke to were very friendly.

3.0 / 10.0

Staff were friendly and helpful, accommodation is becoming tired, sockets in room not working, no seal on shower screen to stop water going on floor, no hot water one morning so had cold showers, food and pool were good, my children enjoyed the pool toys / floats.

3.0 / 10.0

Its a good hotel its just in need of some TLC simple things like replacing mouldy sealant in the shower in fact some sealant would go a long way thag way water wouldnt be running out underneath the screen. Its coming into warmer weather.an the rooms are absolutely roasting air conditioning is obviously an expensive outlay so even just provide fans in the rooms. Bar choices are a little lacking but a nice atmosphere great for kids but the pool area does need cleaned more you feel like your sticking to the tiles when you leave to get changed after a swim

5.0 / 10.0

We were on a long drive home from the North Coast to Edinburgh and decided late to give up and spend the night in Aviemore. This was perfect, lovely hotel, great service, excellent filling breakfast included. And perfect location for heading up to the Cairngorm Mountain Railway the next day.

5.0 / 10.0

Good: Location, breakfast and swimming pool. Discount on ice skating ring. Bad: outdated hotel and noisy

3.0 / 10.0

Arrived 8.45, no possibility of dinner, surly receptionist, police arrived later, drunk folk in the bar, felt like a run down dump. One barman doing his best, felt for him Breakfast a far more positive experience, room was adequate, no frills, not even water. Certainly wouldn’t return by choice

2.0 / 10.0

Resort severely in need of some TLC. Smelly room with lots of broken items. Overpriced for what it is. Food was very poor quality.

2.0 / 10.0

Don’t be fooled by the photos. They show different places within the ‘resort’ and the most standout photos are of the ‘Highland Hotel’ part of the resort. Double check which hotel you are staying in within the resort to avoid disappointment.
