The room was lovely and very comfortable. I did book the Morlich however for some reason was told on arrival it was the Highland hotel . No reason given .

Great value hotel

Ok

Needs sprucing up on the outside, direction signs on site would have been helpful, breakfast food from the hot plate was cold other than that it was ok

Really Gone Downhill

Used to be one of my favourite hotels but every time I come back it gets worse. Needs some serious investment to get back up to where it was. On this occasion, the lift was broken, i was given a tiny box room which was cold and dated. Limited amenities, towels like sandpaper and the hot tap emitted boiling water. The only positives were the receptionist on check in who was lovely and an excellent pizza from the on site Italian.

Macdonalds Aviemore Resort looking tired. We paid for an upgrade so had a lovely room. The resort closes earlier than advertised so we did not get the time to go use the pool facilities The Italian restaurant was closed and Aspects was poor service. Maybe because they were the only restaurant available! Overall disappointing experience at Macdonalds Aviemore
Anita, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff were very friendly and were clearly working very hard to provide the best possible service. They even took our bikes in for us for safe storage even though we had a late check in. They seem to go that extra mile. The reason for the 3 stars was because our room had dust/cobwebs in areas where it hasn't been touched, also the hot tap in the bathroom was scalding hot!
Bryan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I liked: the very comfortable bed the size of the room I disliked: the check-in was a disaster - room wasn't ready and moved to another room eventually the shower pressure was pathetic

Scruffy dog.

Julie and I had a great stay at the hotel. Unfortunately we had to take Alfie, Julie’s scruffy wee dog at the last minute. I spoke to someone at the hotel and they kindly moved us to their sister hotel next door that allows wee hairy animals. We certainly would return again. I might even consider inviting Alfie as he enjoyed his stay too 😊.
Gary, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms are too hot and reception told us they didn't supply fans. The place feels like a ghost town. There's no choice of stuff to do as most of things are closed. The place would benefit from a pub garden and another building with spa pool for the adults.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms are older, the soundproofing is worse, the lift is still broken, but overall it's more comfortable and the restaurant is nice with lots of breakfast options.

Daniel, 2-night trip

Excellent stay.

Friendly welcome at reception, our room was spacious, clean and bed very comfy, bathroom very clean with super hot shower. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful, I can't fault our stay. Had a great time and will return again.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A nice wee ‘off season’ nights break.

Can’t fault MacDonald Hotels. The service was excellent in the restaurant and at reception. The TV and heating worked and the bed was comfortable. I only hope you are treating your staff well and paying them well over the minimum wage.
alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Reasonably priced and centrally located

Stayed for a concert, decent enough hotel but a bit short staffed.
Jill, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Great location but poor hotel

The room was not cleaned properly. 5 of the 6 glasses had lipstick / lip marks on them, there was a disposable floss item in the floor, one of the towels had a mark / stain (like fecal matter) and there were items in the drawer left from a previous guest. The reception staff were very apologetic and quick to act on this. The room was extremely noisy with little to no sound proofing between rooms and the built in tv speakers in the neighbouring bathroom blasting into our own.
John, 1-night trip

Relaxing experience at Macdonald Morlich Hotel

Overall a very comfortable experience. This is the second time we stayed in Macdonald's hotel, opted for half board and loved our meals everynight. Breakfast was great, would be nice to have meatfree options for vegetarians, even if not in buffet but can offer to prepare it if requested, still loved scones and beans and pancakes, kind and caring staff.
Lalit, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel with a lot of facilities, downside full of coach tours (to be expected) and my room was close to the lift which was very noisy
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Full marks to McDonald hotels.

We happened to be staying on one of their Santa Claus weekends and the atmosphere was lovely with lots of excited kids. The staff were great dressed in xmas jerseys and a lot of elves about. The hotel was very warm and welcoming the staff excellent, and a very comfortable room.
