Guest Reviews
The property is centrally located which makes it easy to explore Aviemore.
Booking.com advertised and allowed us to book the Morlich hotel. Three hours before arrival I received a text to say that the hotel was closed for the weekend and we had been moved over to the Highland Hotel. This hotel was old fashioned, clearly needed a refurbishment and no one could give us a clear reason why we had been moved. Four different members of staff told us four different “stories” as to why the actual hotel I booked was closed.
When we checked in the staff member at reception was incredibly rude and gave us no information on breakfast and times etc.
The room its self was comfortable, however there was holes in the walls where curtain hooks used to be, there was mold on the shower, the bathroom door was in a bad condition with paint chipping off it. There was also a strange smell in the room like the drains needed cleaning.
Also the breakfast service was totally chaotic. They ran out of plates, hot food, the coffee wasn’t hot and the waiting staff pulled plates out from under you whilst you were still eating.
Really nice stay all the staff were really helpful. Food was good.
Location was a little out of town but not too far.
Unfortunately the jacuzzi was not working.
Cold coffee one of the mornings at breakfast.
Staff were friendly
Room was dated and certainly not 4*
The leisure facilities were not as advertised as the sauna and jacuzzi were both “out of order”
Great location, facilities and staff
Great location
Bar closed, breakfast room in another property.
Resort leisure complex in need of maintenance and upgrading.
Door between our room and next door was unlocked on arrival leading to visit from next door occupant! Had to ask twice for adjoining door to be locked.
I enjoyed the location rooms clean staff friendly breakfast was also nice
Wasn’t a dislike but would have been good to have had something on at the on site cinema on the Saturday but that could just be because of the season.
Comfortable beds/clean.
The lift was broken and we did not know this till we arrived and we were on the third floor.
Also our room was the furthest away from anyplace.
Location is suoerb. Would be great for
a family get together.
Temperature of the hot water in the room was not safe. Must be addressed.
The room was also too hot.
Nice room a little small
Spa facilities poor no jacuzzi working swimming pool no the cleanest
Location
Spa facilities were out of order or limited spaces
It was very clean and staff were very friendly
The lift was broken and nearly got stuck in it
Super friendly check in staff on reception, and in the Morlich hotel specifically the staff were lovely. My room was great very comfortable, with coffee facilities and a nice shower. A little annoying as I paid for a super king room but it was two twin beds pushed together, so really i slept in a single bed.
The facilities here are not great. The website led me to believe that the leisure facilities were part of the Morlich hotel, but they are actually for the whole resort complex. This means the 'lagoon pool' is the same pool with a slide and wavepool aimed at children. Therefore it was the least relaxing pool i have ever spent time in. The sauna is over 16's but packed because all the parents are there to supervise the kids. It felt like a public leisure centre. I booked this hotel specifically for the pool / sauna facilities and the website says the hotel is perfect for couples on a getaway, so it was misleading. I left after 20 minutes as it felt like a butlins pool and was not clean, and filled with children from morning till night. The breakfast was ok food wise, but held in the food court in another building, again not the 'adult friendly' hotel. It is a foodcourt style with lots of families, and the staff were not super friendly. The whole stay was over priced for what was delivered on and I think you need to be much clearer about the shared nature of all facilities across the complex.
Location and facilities
King bed had two mattress on and could feel it
