We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were very welcoming and even had a little treat bag ready for us and our dog! The hotel was easy to get around and the on site gym & pool were great. (They also provide towels for you at the gym). We ate at the restaurant both nights and the food was delicious!

The hotel itself is amazing, our room could have been better, found a t-shirt down the back of a chair in our room & also a two pound coin on the chair, which to me means it was not moved to be hoovered!! Other than that it was good, breakfast is amazing! As was dinner very good food!!

Wonderful overnight stay in Dunblane
Wonderful stay at Dunblane Hydro with friends. Our room was well equipped with everything we needed. We were lucky enough to get a room with a stunning view over the town and the hills. The bed was extremely comfortable and bathroom spacious and immaculately clean. Our meal in the Kailyard by Nick Nairn was amazing and the staff were so friendly and attentive . Welcoming reception staff ensured our table was booked for dinner and hot cookies on arrival was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had in hotels with a wide selection and piping hot cooked food. Didn’t use the leisure facilities but did enjoy a relaxing drink in one of the lounges. Check out time meant we did not need to rush away in the morning.

Fabulous hotel with excellent friendly staff.
Had a fabulous overnight stay with our granddaughter in a family room. We had a lovely room overlooking the front and over to Dunblane. Everything was comfortable. Loved the swimming pool. Staff were excellent and friendly everywhere we were, a real credit to the hotel. Breakfast was a huge selection of food served in lovely surroundings. Stayed with friends before and will definitely be back.

Dunblane Hydro
Beautiful building but sadly needs a lot of upgrading, rather outdated and shabby furniture and fittings. Lots of noise with children running around the corridors.
The restaurant though made the stay the food and service were first class.
The leisure facilities also need a face lift.

Lost its shine
Great location but hotel building desperately in need of renovation. We spent the same few days here 3 years ago and it was so much nicer then. Can’t fault the staff. They were excellent. Breakfasts great. Apparently hotel was bought over in the autumn and they are waiting to hear what’s planned for the building.

Weve had to put a complaint in as we were not happy with the lack.of knowledge from staff, given wrong information leading to us having to choose from a different food menu that cost alot less than the money we paid for the additional dinner and breakfast. Blood on the wall in the bathroom.
Not the experience we expect from a high end and expensive chain of hotels such ad the hilton

Enjoyable stay
Fabulous location and the check-in was very smooth. The room was comfortable with tea and coffee provided. Unfortunately the TV was not working for the duration of our stay (problems with signal reception).
The food in the Nick Nairn restaurant was first class, tasty and good portion size although let down by the slow service.
The buffet breakfast was a feast!!
Despite the 4 stars we would certainly stay here again and try the health centre.
