Pros:

Freundlich und sauber. Großes Zimmer mit allem was man braucht. Einen funktionierenden Schallplattenspieler auf dem Hotelzimmer hatte ich zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben. Sehr witzige Idee. Altes Haus, aber sauber und gepflegt, was man nicht von jedem anderen Hotel auf unserer Reise entlang der Speyside sagen konnte.

Cons:

Ein Zimmer zur Hauptverkehrsstraße war schon recht laut.

Excellent stay as part of a cycle touring trip
Pros:

We really liked our stay at the Aberlour Hotel. We were upgraded to a fabulous room with king-size bed, very comfy and nicely decorated. Super big bathroom.
Our bicycles were safely stored for us.
Breakfast was excellent with a cold buffet and hot dishes made to order, coffee was especially good.

Pros:

Location, clean

Cons:

Many stairs up and down to reach my room, no elevator. Almost no sound insulation- too much noise coming from other rooms, corridor and street.

Pros:

Ontbijt was goed. Vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Geluidsoverlast in onze kamer, het raam kwam uit aan de keuken. Ik vermoed dat "de koeling" met pijp door het dak om de 2 minuten aansloeg. De kamer was zeer warm. Prijs/kwaliteit viel tegen.

Good location but rooms in need of some TLC.
Pros:

Beds were comfy but the hotel is showing it's age.
Location was great, on a fairly busy road but noise wasn't too bad with windows closed.
Good restaurants nearby, but you need to book in peak periods.

Cons:

Bathroom well past it. The hotel and, particularly the bathrooms, need some love.
It was a simple pub room. We were probably expecting a bit more based on the photos and reviews.

Pros:

A cosy small hotel at the center of city. After I was upgraded ,my room was excellent. It was big and light and comfortable.

Cons:

The first room which I was offered was small. Besides there was extremely hot and 2 pipes (probably kitchen pipes) were just behind my window. Then I was upgraded…:)

Oikein mukava hotelli
Pros:

Hotelli oli hyvin siisti, myös uusittu kylpyhuone. Sänky oli mukava. Aamiainen hyvä. Itse kylä oli myös sympaattinen. Parkkitilaa löytyi.

Cons:

Todella omituiset hanat kylpyhuoneeseen, mutta niistäkin selvisi.

OK but would not use that hotel again unless it under goes refurbishment.
Pros:

The continental breakfast which I chose was good with plenty fruit.

Cons:

The window frames badly need replacing. The woodwork was rotten and crumbling which made the place look dirty with pieces of bad wood all over the window sills. One of the window sills OKwas covered with tiny black insects. I had to use wet toilet paper to clean it!

Pros:

Small friendly hotel in Aberlour where there wasn't very much else of anything. Rooms were clean and comfortable with good pressure in the shower. Staff were helpful. Restaurant on site had a long menu so something for everyone.

Cons:

Staff tried hard but could do with more training when it came to offering menus and wine lists. Didn't seem to know what wines were available. Didn't come back and ask us if we wanted desserts and coffee. We thought that perhaps the kitchen was closing early but did seem odd to close at 8pm on a Friday night. Rest of town was closed on Friday afternoon very early.
