Strathburn Hotel Inverurie by Compass Hospitality

Lovely staff and a great relaxed atmosphere

Clean and beautiful

Me and my wife stayed for one night, the hotel has a nice Scottish decor, the staff were all very nice and welcoming. The hotel is showing it's age and needs some updating, our room was very spacious and clean, however the bathroom sealant round the bath needs replacing and the ceiling light rose cover had dropped down leaving the wires exposed. The breakfast was buffet style, sausages, BP, fried egg, bacon, tomato and beans. No options for Scrambled or poached eggs, the coffee was in a pump flask and luke warm.

We paid £115 for one night, we stayed in the Holiday Inn Express at Leigh Edinburgh the night before at a cost of £65 with a far better buffet breakfast selection, the Strathburn needs to rethink the amount they charge or update the hotel and food to match the price.

Central location

Perfect location

Arrived early, staff prioritised the cleaning of my room whilst I enjoyed a lovely cooked breakfast. so I was in by 9am.

Warm comfy bed, hot water, coffee facilities.

Guests enjoyed their stay and would book the hotel again.

Good location, very comfortable and clean

Location suited our needs perfectly. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Comfortable beds. Decent size room.

Nice atmosphere, clean and friendly, comfy lounge and decent choice of food available. A plug for the car would have been good.

Staff super helpful

I stayed here as I was attending a family funeral and my dad had stayed here and recommended it. However, it certainly didn't live up to the recommendation. After a 5 hour drive I just wanted to get to my room and relax. As I walked into reception, the man behind behind the desk literally walked right past me. I waited for a while before ringing the bell. No response so I tried again. No luck. Went into the bar where there were 5 men, the receptionist was serving one of them. Fair enough, obviously short staffed. He finished serving then asked if anyone else wanted anything, I was stood there waiting so it was pretty obvious! I said, "Me please, can I get my room key I have been driving for 5 hours" He literally squawked at me, "Just a minute just a minute!!! I am busy!" Even though he clearly wasn't. If I could have found somewhere else at that point in time I would have walked out. I went out to get my case from the car and by the time I got back in he was at the desk. Gave me my key, I asked if I could book a seat at the restaurant, he informed me "No!! Chef is ill!!" no apology, when I asked him if there was anywhere else he vaguely waved his arm and said in the town, too far to walk. The room was very dated, in fact the whole place was shabby. There were brown mouldy stains in the bathroom. (see photos) In fact the only reason I've given 2 stars instead of 1 is the receptionist in the morning was lovely and the breakfast was good, especially the tattie scones. Not enough to make me ever want to stay there again though.
