Great for one night

All the staff where great kind and polite

1.0 / 10.0

Very disapointing. The pool was not open all day (they had time slots), the waves and slide were not operating although they said they would be. I was told the vent system was not working and it was "dangerous" to be in there. That's fine, but when I asked if it was getting fixed staff said "I don't know". House keeping woke me up knocking loudly and non stop at 8am. When I went to the door wondering it could only be an emergency, the house keeper turned her back and walked away without even explaining her actions. I was left with a headache for my drive back home. The playroom was closed and staff didn't know when it would be open. When I complained, the person at reception did a sad face and noded her head, but did nothing to repair the problems I had described. She gave me the manager's email. When I came back to check I had the right email address, I find out the manager was there! I asked to talk to him, but he did not leave his room and she came back telling me to phone him later. Honestly, I never had such disapointing experience before and I've traveled to many many places.

Room was spacious and clean. Beds very comfy. No plug sockets by bed though. Good selection available for breakfast and the pool and soft play were great addition to the hotel. Didn’t manage to make it to the cinema but would have liked to.

We only had a one night stay so didn’t really get to see much of the hotel or its facilities. What we did see was ok but some areas are looking a bit tired.

3.0 / 10.0

This hotel is adequate and has good and not-so-good aspects. First of all is the late check-in time. 4pm seems a bit late, especially for families. On the good side, we were allowed to use the pool while we waited. The pool is a good resource but as with many MacDonald Hotels these days, parts of it are tired and need work. Half the showers in the changing rooms were not working and created queues. In the room, I was lead to believe from photos that the family room would have a double bed and two singles instead of a double and one single. Adequate but nothing more. Also, the television didn't really work. At first, there was no audio for television and then it would switch off randomly. Wifi wasn't very strong. Breakfast was good.

4.0 / 10.0

Mainly chose this because of access to EV charger. Only stayed one night so did not experience much.

According to the hotel description on Expedia, the hotel has coin laundry facilities, but when I arrived at the hotel, I found out the hotel does not have any of those, which was extremely inconvenient.

4.0 / 10.0

The room was tired and in urgent need of TLC. It was not the cleanest of hotels either. I was disappointed as I have always admired from a far and was looking forward to this stay with my family. Cleanliness should be a given at least but sadly I had to endure what was as it was under staffed and if I asked any questions it always seemed to be a struggle or inconvenience.

2.0 / 10.0

Macdonald hotel was meant to be 4 star. Can safely say 2/3 star. Mould in bathrooms. Unclean bathroom floors. Side panal of the path was water damaged by many years of usage. The buildings are very old now and in major need of upgrade and repair. Including restuarants. We have visited maybe 5 times over the last 10 years and this time was the most disappointing. It doesnt have the 4 star feel and next time definitely be booking else where sad to say. Time for some maintenance. Couldnt even get a latte with breakfast, had to pay extra. Paid £650 for 2 nights and couldnt even have a latte for breakfast. 😂 The staff were friendly.

Me & my Son go up there at least 3 times a year as he enjoys the place. Great stuff & very friendly. Juat go & enjoy the experience yourself

3.0 / 10.0

The room smelt of damp, restricting my breathing considerably and needing an emergency prescription. I requested a dehumidifier but was assured they could use a purifier when I was out of the room, no evidence this was executed as it didn’t help. When I expressed my concern at reception I was told they would look out for the next customer. I feel I should have been offered another room as I tried to explain I am asthmatic and a diabetic….. This spoilt my stay and I will not be staying again. A real pity as the breakfast was very good and the restaurant staff were excellent.

It was a ok stay. Building very outdated and place felt dirty

3.0 / 10.0

Our stay was fine…. However I definitely wouldn’t say it was a four star hotel. The shower was broken and the room was damp with excessive condensation on the inside of the window. Phoned and asked for shower to be looked at at 4pm and still not done by 9pm. We were assured the GM would contact us the following morning but nil contact. Apart from that the staff were nice at check in, and at breakfast. Children enjoyed the pool and the disco.

Enjoyed our stay, very clean and comfy room with nice shower. Friendly and efficient staff. Very good buffet breakfast with lots of choices. Only negative is expensive wine at the bar

We will not be going back to McDonald’s Highland Resort the room service was very poor, our room was still not serviced at 17:00 this happen two days running had to go to reception before it was done. The breakfast was very poor my wife got food poisoning after the breakfast on Saturday as the sausage she had partly eaten hadn’t been fully cooked. The hotel is very shabby worn carpets worn furniture it needs a complete refurb. We have been going to that hotel at least once or twice a year over the last 20 years, over the last five years it has gradually gone downhill and this was probably the worst it been. McDonald’s should not be charging those rates for this hotel as it is not up to a 4 star rating we were very disappointed. Regards, Charles Nisbet

Room cleanliness left much to be desired. The room was only serviced on the first day. We reported this but was told the house keepers had finished for the day.

4.0 / 10.0

I was nervous about staying here based on other reviews I read, but thought this hotel seemed like a good family friendly option in Aviemore. I should have listened to the reviews. We were very unhappy with our stay at this hotel. The rooms were disgusting- dirty, dingy, old, smelly and holes in the sheets. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. There is no air conditioning and the room was hot. We were able to open the window but there was no screen so bugs flew in. The whole place needs to be redone. The hotel breakfast was OK, onsite parking is a plus and the location is great, but we could not wait to get out of there.

6.0 / 10.0

Breakfast was good

4.0 / 10.0

Good comfy stay with excellent facilities. Aspect restaurant as only dining option on site was a bit too posh for liking. Buildings look a bit old and tired but still in good condition. Am waiting for partial refund due to check out 2 days early so will see if get it. Walking directions from station were not provided and no directions on site so not easy to find hotel for initial check in.

3.0 / 10.0

Great location and good breakfast. However, hotel overall extremely dated and things look dirty. The pool area was extremely dirty looking and the Spa pool was not on so extremely disappointing. None of these would be major issues if it were not for the price you pay. One of the things we paid to go there for was a spa pool. The bed was comfy enough. There are only two usable sockets for plugs in room as others are the special lamp sockets so not great if have more than two things to be plugged in at once.

10.0 / 10.0

Property was nice. Was able to have two rooms next to each other as my family doesn’t fit into 1 in UK. Breakfast had lots of options and was enjoyable. Within walking distance of Main Street with shops and restaurants.

6.0 / 10.0

Seems like a decent value for the price. But everything has a slight feeling of shabbiness. Someone watched TV very loudly late at night until the early morning hours.

4.0 / 10.0

We were given a room with a connecting door and we were surrounded by bus loads of Chinese on a tour and it was so noisy i struggled to sleep . I could hear every word said by the people in the connecting room the hairdryer was so loud it may as well have been in the room with us . Then it all started up again at 6.30am , while i appreciate that the hotel cant be held responsible for the noise of other guests i do think we should not have been given a room in amongst a large bus load of people that were clearly travelling together . The adjoining door was next to the suitcase stand meaning every time they went in their suitcase it banged our door . We only arrived 45 minutes before the official check in but were made to wait again i appreciate we were a bit early but in all my travel's i never known a hotel not letting people in a little bit early as the room was clearly ready by 3.15 when we arrived so this was a bit petty .

10.0 / 10.0

My Son Loving going too the place.. I enjoy the place as well.. Would be nice too see some work done around the swimming pool.. But apart from that i can't complain & will continue too take my Son up until he's bored of the place lol..

Building needs an upgrade. Fixtures and fittings in bedroom dated and chipped. Sound proofing between rooms poor. Ordered piri piri chicken received plain roast chicken, no apology. Top money paid for substandard product. Please raise your game, letting down a fantastic setting.
