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.

Great place to stay in aviemore
Fantastic value for money. This hotel was obviously dated when it came to decor but it was comfortable all the same. The kids loved the pool and the soft play.

Ok room but poor service checking in
No staff at reception desk on arrival but a notice with a number to call in the other building. No answer so spent 5/10 mins trying to find the other building to check in. Very poor service.
