    Food was good . Dinner was tasty but very noisy. Breakfast was very good in a pleasant atmosphere. Both good value. Room was cramped and overpriced. Very busy road in front of hotel which felt dangerous to cross. Enjoyable overall.

    Very noisy room. Could not go to sleep from noise from bar below. Ok if I was on holiday but not when I’m awake at 6am for work.

    Good location and my room was a good size. Very comfortable bed and clean linen.

    My impression when moving through the hotel toward our room the varnished woodwork needs a bit of tlc staff didn’t inform us the there were 2 deep stairs leading from the bedroom to the shower room. Might be a struggle for older people etc. breakfast wasn’t particularly great but that is a personal preference. Not square sausage. Haggis was dry scrambled eggs a bit wet. Sat next to fire exit with doors opened causing food to cool down to quickly but I understand it’s a warm environment. Just don’t sit near the exits.

    Location was great. Warm welcome from receptionist. Loved the old building and its creeky stairs. Bedroom was fine and clean. Shower facilities was good.

    I think it's poor that paying residents can't book a dinner slot.

    Staff were really helpful. Food was excellent - both for dinner and breakfast. Room was spacious with comfortable bed and good shower.

    Surprised that there was no luggage store for guests, although I was able to leave my rucksack in the corner of the lobby while I went for a walk before catching my train. Also being unable to book dinner as a hotel guest seemed odd; I had to eat elsewhere.

    Comfortable room and good breakfast. The hotel building is much better than most in Aviemore, and the location just opposite the station was brilliant.

    Found hangers in wardrobe difficult but a light in the wardrobe would help. Would have preferred a slightly larger TV. We opted to only have room serviced midweek which was absolutely fine. The only problem we had was washing tea cups in bathroom in the interim. It would have been useful to have somewhere to put dirty cups and pick up clean ones. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times, but as it is very popular we had to wait (this is made clear though). It would be nice to have a couple of ‘specials’ each evening in addition to the regular menu, especially as we stayed for a week. We dined at other local restaurants though that were very good and no distance at all.

    Breakfast was perfect. All breakfast staff were exceptional, making us feel very welcome and remembering details from previous days. Nothing was too much trouble, even providing us with a couple of bacon rolls on our day of departure as we didn’t have time for breakfast. All staff were welcoming and helpful. Comfy, clean bed. Plenty of hot water for shower. Brilliant location.
