Macdonald Morlich Hotel at Macdonald Aviemore Resort

The hotel is definitely not a 4 star. Top range 3 star at best. The room was clean. It was advertised as a king sized bed, however putting 2 single beds together is very misleading. The Italian restaurant, the staff are nice but the service is very very slow. Took me an hour to get food. The location is ideal. The sports centre is good and spacious. The pool is good fun. The gym needs a complete modernisation program. Not enough equipment and in a very small room. The sports centre could utiltse space more effectively and have a state of the art gym in the other bigger rooms. It would be used well, however this is sadly not the case. I will return and use this hotel in the future. The price is not cheep and if your expecting Hilton quality then this is not the hotel for you.

The entrance hall, reception, bar and seating area, all nicely decorated as is the Italian restaurant on the same floor. Our room had a Mountain View, and a window that opened to let in the fresh air. King sized bed with crisp white bedding. Bathroom with shower, and Elemis’s toiletries.complementary tea and coffee making facilities in the room.The room and bathroom all clean, and nicely decorated, with eye pleasing accessories. Breakfast served in another building next door. Buffet style, with plenty of choice, fresh fruits, pastries, and the usual cooked options, plus potato cakes. All the staff were efficient. And friendly. My husband and I had a good stay at this hotel and would recommend.

My wife and I stayed at this resort as part of our road trip to Scotland-we ended up staying an extra two nights due to the tremendous service from the staff. From Ryan at the front desk to the wait staff at dinner and breakfast were VERY ATTENTIVE! For instance, the same server that sat us for breakfast the day before saw a day later that I didn’t have fried eggs. He remembered that I had them the day before and went out of his way to get them for me. The room was very clean. As far as dinner, we recommend Giovanni’s. They made us a from scratch wood oven pizza in 5 mins, which I didn’t think possible! For dessert, we highly recommend the crème brûlée and apple tart with ice cream!
