"Rooms are too hot and reception told us they didn't supply fans. The place feels like a ghost town. There's no choice of stuff to do as most of things are closed. The place would benefit from a pub garden and another building with spa pool for the adults. "

Macdonald Aviemore Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed for the weekend with the family (2 adults & 2 kids aged 8 & 6). Room was a good size and clean. Great amenities on site - playpark, cinema, swimming pool, soft play & amazing pizza at the resort's Italian restaurant. "
"This hotel was amazing! It’s been newly renovated and felt fresh, modern, and incredibly comfortable. Our room was spotless and surprisingly spacious for our family of four, which made a big difference. The showers were fantastic, and the towels were thick, soft, and luxurious which felt incredible after a long day of hiking. The location was also perfect, just around the corner from several great restaurants. On top of all that, the receptionist was incredibly sweet and welcoming, which really added to the overall experience. We’d definitely stay here again if we get the chance!"
"Check in was easy you get a code sent for the front and room door, very well equipped with a small kitchen area with a fridge which when travelling with a dog was really useful for the food. Bed lovely and comfy with a small balcony area to sit out and as the weather was so good was perfect. Ample parking with a very short walk into Aviemore, plenty local shops, cafes and pubs/restaurants to choose from
"
"A great site and a quality lodge chalet with a friendly and warm welcome from the owners. Very accessible for Braemar and surrounding natural scenery. Absolutely excellent!"
"The Braemar Youth hostel might be the most charming and lovely hostel I’ve stayed at. The location is peaceful and the facility itself is comfortable and cozy. This hostel has a great lounge, large kitchen with all the essential utensils, and the staff are so accommodating and pleasant. "
"Property was nice. Was able to have two rooms next to each other as my family doesn’t fit into 1 in UK. Breakfast had lots of options and was enjoyable. Within walking distance of Main Street with shops and restaurants. "
