Atholl Hotel

Staff are fab, food is some of the best around. Price and quality. Good location with a large safe carpark (Free, yes free)

Very nice proper hotel with lovely staff and lots of stairs
Parking
Great breakfasts

La disponibilità del parcheggio gratuito situato proprio dietro all’hotel e il ristorante al suo interno aveva dei piatti molto buoni! La camera ed il bagno spaziosi!

I had very good cooked breakfast. Rich and tasty.

Schönes altes Hotel, gute Räumlichkeiten, nette Bar fürs Bierchen, gemütlich. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen waren lecker. Beim Abendessen gab es eine kleine Vergesslichkeit des Personals, die aber durch eine nette Kulanz wieder ausgebügelt wurde.
Kostenloser großer Parkplatz hinter dem Haus. Ganz toll fand ich die vielen wunderschönen Bilder, die im ganzen Hotel hängen. Nettes Personal.
Wir sind mit dem Bus in die Stadt gefahren, der nah beim Hotel hält. Man könnte auch ca 30 Minuten laufen.
Wir würden wiederkommen, auch wenn das Hotel nicht ganz zentral liegt.

Overpriced Old Fashioned - for Old Folk!

The breakfast was very nice.
The rooms were comfortable.

Wonderful breakfast. Great dinners. Excellent parking.

Fantastic location around a mile from the city centre and right on the bus route outside if you don’t want to walk

Nice and clean. Friendly staff.

Near the hospital

Friendly staff, great atmosphere

We had an unexpected trip to Aberdeen back in May, due to one of our friends (a couple visiting from Australia) having been airlifted from Shetland, following a suspected heart attack. We drove up from Herefordshire to 'rescue' them by car, given the friend was not permitted to fly or even carry his own luggage.
Our friends managed to book us a room in their hotel and we stayed for three nights. The Atholl is in a good location - walkable distances to both the city centre and the hospital. It's a lovely building, and generally we found the staff to be friendly and efficient. The free parking was a bonus.
The hotel is probably due for a refurb sometime in the next few years as it's looking quite dated, but our room was perfectly comfortable and very clean, with nice bedding and towels. The one disappointing issue was the lack of 'real' coffee in the room - only sachets of instant. Most hotels these days have either a pod machine or a cafetière, or there's a communal coffee machine somewhere on the premises where you can help yourself to a cup of the proper stuff. A small thing for most people, but for us it's crucial!
We ate dinner in the hotel on our first night, and it was nice enough, but nothing special (not that we were expecting amazing things from a moderately sized hotel).
Breakfast was also generally good, with a selection of hot options cooked to order. I have to say the continental options were fairly basic. In the room information folder the breakfast described 'a range of pastries', however the only things on offer each day (the same each day) were croissants and traditional buttery rowies, which we are familiar with from many trips to Scotland. Unfortunately, both of these were not good, and in fact on our final morning it was abundantly clear that we were being offered stale croissants from the day before. Whether that was somebody's error, or the kitchen trying to contain costs or maybe the hotel was let down by its supplier... in any event, the croissants should not have been served.
Overall I can recommend the Atholl and would happily stay there again. I understand the hotel staff were incredibly helpful to our friends in their unfortunate circumstances. However there is room for improvement.

Uns hat die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter und der schottische Charme außerordentlich gut gefallen. Das Essen war toll, das Frühstück im gepflegten Speisesaal war ein Erlebnis. Das Hotel ist ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen!

Warm and homely decor, excellent bar and restaurant, unbelievable service from lovely staff, especially the managers.
