Macdonald Aviemore Resort - Highlands Hotel, Aviemore

Stayed 30th May 2022

Excellent - big complex, swimming pool with wave machine, steam room, sauna room. I dont have children but seems plenty for children to do too. Also has a one screen cinema onsight. Friendly helpful staff. A few minutes walk from train station and main street. Handy if you want to make it your base to travel around that part of Scotland. We hopped on a bus to Inverness for the day, only took around 50mins. Buffet breakfast with big selection. Evening meal fab.Overall excellent hotel

Stayed here before. Room was an upgrade, clean and good size just dated. Given QR code a check in with menu and drinks list only to find out all drinks had gone up in price that day, some by 30%! Breakfast brilliant but book in advance for dinner as No availability at the Aspects restaurant when we arrived. Another excellent deal from myhotelbreak, but not worth prices otherwise.

We have just had a lovely 2 night stay at the macdonalds highland resort in Aviemore. It was very nice and relaxing. The package deal was very good. Hotel was fine and the staff were lovely although bar prices were a bit on the steep side. Had a lovely meal in the restaurant which was from a nice menu and the service was excellant. We would certainly go back again and maybe take the grandchildren as there was a lot to do for them at the resort.

Comfortable room. Great locatio .

Stayed 8th May 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rooms are extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Food in Aspect restaurant was exceptionally good, however we were a little disappointed with the food in Giovanni's

Stayed 7th May 2022

Mixed bag of comments. Some members of staff were OUTSTANDING whilst the rest were the most miserable bunch of customer service employees I’ve ever encountered. Some food was fabulous but the breakfast was a bit rubbish. Rooms were lovely but needed a bit of TLC. Need a second mortgage to have a drink. Very expensive prices. Possibly overrated for the time of year. Not enough car parking for the number of hotel rooms. Amazing facilities available, but not all open for use.

Stayed 5th May 2022

Food in the Italian restaurant Giovanni’s was really poor, we told the manager but he only said he was sorry to hear that, and took no further action I was sick afterwards Second night we went to the other restaurant , Aspects, which was excellent

Stayed 29th April 2022

We were charged twice for our hotel stay. But on showing the receipt for payment, the hotel refunded the second charge. We had a lovely stay and the food both breakfast and evening meals was excellent. We did not have our rooms serviced for any of the nights stay. The hotel seemed to be short staffed. We managed ourselves by making our own beds .

Stayed 21st April 2022

Overall good break. Main negative was raw in the middle burger served in Aspects restaurant that although brought to their attention was still charged for.

Lovely relaxing stay in beautiful Aviemore. Amenities and services were very good

What a great stay we had here. The resort has much to explore - swimming with a flume and wave pool every 30 minutes, cinema, ice rink, shopping and a playground. There are 3 hotels within the resort, we stayed in the Highlands Hotel - this hotel was amongst all the activities and has the Aspects Restaurant which serves Scottish cuisine. Our rooms were connecting rooms which was a fab surprise. The rooms are clean with nice bedding a comfortable bed. The only criticism is that the walls were a bit grubby and needed cleaned or painted. We ate our evening meals at the hotel (Aspects Restaurant) and the food was delicious with good service. Breakfast was fantastic - cereals, pastries, and a hot buffet. We will definitely return in the near future.

Lovely stay. Bigger room this time, facing back of hotel. Aspects restaurant better than option of eating across the road in the Italian

Stayed 29th March 2022

Great 2 days , hotel,staff,food& location made for a very relaxing great value break.

Stayed 23rd March 2022

We had problems getting our room cleaned. We didn’t know a sign outside the door was required. On the second day we did this, but still the room wasn’t cleaned. The person at reception wasn’t very helpful. The room was eventually cleaned on the third day. The food was very good but having the same menu every night was a bit disappointing. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would book again in the future. I give this hotel 8/10

Stayed 10th March 2022

All good but the food breakfast and dinner was always cold.

Stayed 6th March 2022

Very disappointed in our family stay, on check in which was not very pleasant, then I was told I would need to pay a extra £60 for the room they! had allocated me, even though I had put all the correct information on my booking. Then I was told my young family couldn't eat till 6pm, then the following day I found out we could eat in bar lounge next to reception from 4pm onwards, again bad information from check in staff. Bad layout of the Highland hotel, no lifts around restaurant area for pram, rooms separate from reception, a bit of a struggle with loads of suitcases and prams ect. Breakfast not hot just warm. Only one hotel open, areas dirty, restaurant food not great for the price

Stayed 3rd March 2022

Very clean, great breakfast and great dinner options. Hotel could do with some upgrades

Stayed 27th February 2022

Lovely area, lovely hotel and lovely staff. Breakfast was excellent. Had a few minor issues at dinner that were quickly dealt with by the staff. Would definitely recommend a stay here and I will certainly be back. My only criticism is the excessive alcohol prices, if these were a bit more reasonable I would probably spend more time in the bar here instead of in town.

Stayed 21st February 2022

Very nice room food very good.But hotel sitting areas were very cold to sit in. It is very expensive to have a coffee or drink in the hotel.

Stayed 11th February 2022

Stayed two nights, room was very comfortable and clean, plenty top ups of tea/coffee and biscuits, dinner and breakfast was lovely, staff were very friendly and helpful, use of the leisure facilities was an extra bonus.
