One night in Aviemore
Stopped in Aviemore for one night while heading north. Check in swift and clear, room clean. Breakfast was spot on, food perfectly acceptable and the waiting staff were all busy and helpful.

Stay at Macdonalds Aviemore
My son and I were due to stay in the Strathspey building but were moved to another building, the name of which escapes me, but was the building nearest the supermarket on the main road. There were only two negatives whilst in room 3206: it was near the main door for the corridor and each time the main door was opended, it created a vacuum and caused the room door to move. making a banging sound. Thus the room door would bang each time another guest used the main door, which disturbed sleep. The room was opposite the store for linen and other materials, so this was also a source of noise and disturbance. The TV in the room did not have a useful signal either. Had my son and I been staying longer, I would have requested a move to another room. Apart from that, the staff of the Hotel were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The facilities including the swimming pool were very good, apart from the wave machine not working, which my son was dissapointed about. And the location of the hotel lends itself very well to accessing the services offered by Aviemore. So I would stay at Macdonalds Hotel Aviemore again, but I would make sure the room was not disturbed by noise.

4 Star Hotel 4 Star Price Two Star facilities
Four star hotel Four star prices Two star facilities and service. Rooms nowhere near as plush as Thistle and other chains which are considerably cheaper. Pool sauna etc ok. Bar service and food outlets poor. Buffet closes 8pm and the one bar available a long walk in the cold and wet over the other side of the compound in another building. Plenty of good restaurants in village though and much better quality. Rooms dated and beds awfully uncomfortable, Travelodges at £29 have super comfy beds. TV - a few misty channels on old tv set. Enjoyed the stay, Breakfasts very good and staff friendly and helpful. Advise you get a good deal before going and don't pay top whack cos not good value, - but for the right price quite acceptable.

The hotel was not what we expected
Unfortunately I was very disappointed, as hotel very dated and in need of complete refurnishment. There was no bar facilities, its just an annex to the Highland hotel. The price most certainly did not reflect on the hotel, unfortunately we were so disappointed we asked to be moved as this was planned a special weekend. I will say that after we voiced our disappointment we were moved within an hour, to the highland Hotel (with more cost)

Hotel Not as Advertised
Extremely disappointed with the hotel as it did not come close to the way it was advertised. Hotel was very tired and run down. Arrived early evening to be told the restaurant and bar were not open and the only facilities was in one of the adjacent hotels on the complex. This was totally unacceptable and I would have expected what I consider basic facilities within a hotel especially at the rates they charged. I ended up walking up and down Aviemore with my son trying to find a restaurant that wasn't already fully booked. The room was tired, smelled of damp and located immediately adjacent to the lifts resulting in us being kept awake most of the night with late nighters falling out of the lifts and into their rooms. I do not normally give reviews but in this particular case I wanted you to know how appalled I was. Having spent two days in the hills I was hoping to spend a relaxing night in a hotel, eat a decent meal and get some rest. This hotel failed on all counts. Macdonald Hotels should be ashamed of themselves.

Dining room food not good!
We met up for a family reunion. Cant fault the rooms but we were all really disappointed with the dining room. A number of us ordered steaks and they were stone cold when we they arrived. Just did not complain as we were all really hungry. We also had booked dinner for ten only to be told they didn't have the reservation. My husband and i were at the Inschyra in Falkirk the week before and were so impressed with everything. Would not book dinner again at the Highland hotel.

Aviemore stay
In overall was alright but had 2 very disappointing situations. We went to Aviemore interested in snowing so at the first night of our stay around 9pm we went to the desk to gather some information regarding their ski shop and also about the ski conditions at the Cairngorm but the receptionist aswered us that he had no idea and he doesn't even like snow. Second issue was with the room service, we had requested a bucket of ice and after started use the ice we found one cotton swab inside the bucket. Have to say that in overall the hotel is good, the day receptionist was very friendly. Room clean but small.

Aviemore highlands hotel
We were given an upgrade to the highlands hotel at the aviemore resort. The room was good and the breakfast area was really busy, had to queue for a seat and people were letting their kids pick about the buffet selection which was slightly off putting. The range of breakfast offered was very good and service staff very professional given the pressure they must have been under with the busy breakfast service. We didn't eat dinner in the hotel, went to one of the local pubs near by ( papa rocks very good for high tea :)). We would recommend this hotel given the deal we got on expedia for the stay.

November no Rain
Only little problem with room that I forgot to add on Trip Advisor was that the sheet and duvet cover were not changed during a 3 day stay. The lines to get seated for breakfast were silly when everyone could've found a seat and self-served. Rooms are not sound proofed so noisy neighbours will keep you awake. The staff were very nice, the hotel and facilities and ease of access to surrounding area were all excellent

Recently spent one night here as part of a road trip around the Scottish highlands. While we never had the opportunity to try much of the facilities on offer due to the short time we had the resort certainly did offer much to do. We did use the cinema on the evening of our stay, apart from the seats (not terribly comfy) it was a proper cinema experience. We only had breakfast at the hotel, and it was very nice indeed. We are actually planning a return visit soon where we intend to stay a few days with the kids.

tired and shabby
Aviemore has always been a tired old resort, even when it was relatively new in the 70s. Forty years later, it still exudes that same old tired, under-invested faded look that is deemed ok for C2Ds with no disposable income and fewer options. However, for those who look beyond the facade, this hotel is the wayfarer's equivalent of Cromagnon Man, old and fossilised. If you stay here, make sure it's on a deal, otherwise you are going to feel very hard done by!

MacDonalds at Aviemore
On arrival at the Hotel Complex, we were greeted and immediately offered a free upgrade to a 'better' hotel on the site. The room was spacious, and clean. The hotel had an on-site cabaret show on our last night. though the hotel was selling tickets, the staff called us on the last night and offered us complimentary ones, which we were happy to take. though the show itself was OK, attendance was poor and I would have been unhappy had I paid for the tickets! We were happy to use the pool and the spa during our 3 night stay. The complex itself is quite big and clearly the chain wants you to stay on their premises, using their restaurants and bars rather than going into Aviemore. Give it a try!
