10/10 Exceptional

A nice wee ‘off season’ nights break.

Can’t fault MacDonald Hotels. The service was excellent in the restaurant and at reception. The TV and heating worked and the bed was comfortable. I only hope you are treating your staff well and paying them well over the minimum wage.

Excellent stay.

Friendly welcome at reception, our room was spacious, clean and bed very comfy, bathroom very clean with super hot shower. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful, I can't fault our stay. Had a great time and will return again.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hotel. Would stay again

The Morlich was the perfect location for me as I was attending a conference in the adjacent venue. Very comfortable room, with plenty of space. Lovely shower. Robes and slippers provided. My only slight criticism is that the lift was very dated and I felt a little concerned about using it. Also, breakfast wasn't served on the premises. I had to go to the food court in the conference centre. Personally I found this inconvenient for me because I have mobility issues which meant that I had to drive around to the building then back to the hotel afterwards. But I would be better prepared next time. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay, and a good base for exploring Aviemore. The staff were very welcoming and helpful too.

Relaxing experience at Macdonald Morlich Hotel

Overall a very comfortable experience. This is the second time we stayed in Macdonald's hotel, opted for half board and loved our meals everynight. Breakfast was great, would be nice to have meatfree options for vegetarians, even if not in buffet but can offer to prepare it if requested, still loved scones and beans and pancakes, kind and caring staff.

Reasonably priced and centrally located

Stayed for a concert, decent enough hotel but a bit short staffed.

Everything was good although we did overhear someone complaining about the cleanliness and maintenance of the toilets

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel with a lot of facilities, downside full of coach tours (to be expected) and my room was close to the lift which was very noisy
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Full marks to McDonald hotels.

We happened to be staying on one of their Santa Claus weekends and the atmosphere was lovely with lots of excited kids. The staff were great dressed in xmas jerseys and a lot of elves about. The hotel was very warm and welcoming the staff excellent, and a very comfortable room.

This large complex is an easy walk to the Main Street in Aviemore. Train and bus station, shopping and walking. The restaurants are great. We didn’t bring bathing suits so can’t comment about the indoor water park.

Weekend Break

Fantastic stay, room spacious and very clean. Staff friendly. Plenty to do on site. Gym and pool fab. Hotel is a great location. Excellent variety at breakfast. Only downside is the price of the meals which has gone up since my last stay in April.
EMMA, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely hotel

Pros - lovely hotel. Clean and tidy. Staff polite, friendly and helpful. Great location. Excellent breakfast. Cons - someone in room nearby smoking in their room and the smell travelling into our bathroom. Bed and pillows not very comfortable. Wakened at 6am every morning with loud doors creaking and banging closed. Unsure if this was the cleaning staff.

Paying for location

The hotel was tired and very expensive so you are paying for location. The room, especially the bathroom was badly finished and the shower average ..it did its job. The bedroom was small, bed ok and the view was of mountains and resort. It, however, was noisy and over-looked the bins so not much sleep was had. The Italian restaurant on site was good and catered for all tastes. Service was prompt considering the amount of customers. Breakfast was ok.
Salma, 1-night trip

Chilled time away

Loved every minute of my 2 night stay, very friendly staff, could not fault it, breakfast dinner were delicious both at the scottish and italian restaurant, the facilities were outstanding, bit dated in some places but overall very clean, bed was so comfy, definitely be back so quiet and relaxing stay
Catherine, 2-night trip

Very nice hotel let down by the single lift being ‘out of order’ for two days during my stay! Not very nice when your on the top floor!
William, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff attitude unhelpful and occasionally rude, particularly on arrival. Evening meal at their Italian restaurant made me ill. Room was clean, other facilities are dated but appeared well-maintained. Checked out early. Avoid this place.
Guy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great food but noisy room

Very good breakfast and dinner, room was a bit dated / tired looking but clean and comfortable, only problem was very noisy been on the first floor lot of noise from ground floor and the very old and noisy lift, doesn’t seem to have any insulation in the walls as you can hear other guests in adjacent rooms and people coming and going through the corridors.
Gordon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Buffet breakfast was lukewarm. TV in our room only had three channels plus children's programmes. Reception desk was unattended when we arrived. Loved the room....it had a super -king size bed and large shower. The hotel is well-placed for enjoying Aviemore.

Reservations Disaster

Awful experience, booked 2 rooms for two couples on same booking and they put us in two different hotels on site. No explanation, blamed reservations, guy behind desk sat on chair didn't stand up to talk to us, all very young staff with little experience. Eventually operations Manger gave us £30 off bottle of wine for inconvenience. Had to convince them to let us dine together at breakfast in the morning in oen hotel.

Meant to stay in morloich hotel within the complex but this hotel was full and we’re moved to highland hotel but we weren’t informed and no notifications of this so we’re stood about for a while trying to figure out what to do Communication could have been miles better

2/10 Poor

Aviemore

We were very disappointed in the service we received, we were unable to travel due to a red weather warning of not to travel due to severe storm Babet. We contacted both the hotel and hotels.com regarding a refund and they said they do not offer refunds which is very harsh due to the weather being out with outlets control
