Ballater Hotel Guide - Braemar Castle hotels in Ballater, United Kingdom.

"Food was fantastic and all the staff were great. Would defo stay again "

"Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. "

"A 20+ minute wait to check in meant our stay didn’t get off to a great start. Unfortunately the noise from dogs barking inside the hotel both while we were trying to relax with a drink and later into the evening made it difficult to unwind and even to fall asleep after a long day of walking. This wasn’t well managed and impacted our overall experience. On a more positive note, the pool facilities were good and the room itself was comfortable. However, we were also disappointed that cash payment wasn’t an option. Overall, due to these issues, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless you’re prepared for that kind of experience like ours."

"Breakfast was really nice, lots of variety, room was large with plenty of water, teaxand coffee for our needs. Staff very friendly and attentive, would definitely recommend the hotel to friends and family."

"The hotel was in a good location, a bit run down and dated. Hairdryer in the room didn’t work, the window sil was loose and the sofa bed was horrific! My 2 kids had terrible sleeps both nights. I wouldn’t say it was worth the £355 we paid for 2 nights. We’d expect much better quality for that price. "

"The food is great but very expensive, although Ballater is an expensive place to stay. Evening meal and bar lovely, breakfast amazing. Nice feel to the hotel, very traditional and cosy. We stayed in a standard room, which is basic. Mattress and pillows felt cheap, it overlooked properties but there was no net curtain to offer privacy, dusty, TV had no apps to log into, noise from downstairs clearly audible, door in the hallway made a creaking noise. We were pretty disappointed as the next level was almost double. "

"Comfortable and clean"

"The lodge was very spacious, the rooms were clean, had everything you needed including a cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. All you need for a home away from home. Next time we will probably bring our own food stay a little longer and have a good look around the area. "

"Did not use all the facilities but had a wonderful stay. Be great to have a similar hotel near Aviemore as that is where we spent most our time. Loved the spacious and very clean suite that we stayed in."
