We’ve stayed a number of times and love the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Our bedroom had a really large comfortable bed, great shower and very clean. Breakfast bacon rolls were yummy!

We’d stay more often if the bar was dog friendly. It’s strange as you well behaved dogs can stay at the hotel and you can sit with them in the lobby area but you cannot take them into the public bar which is odd. Each night of our stay someone walked into the bar with a dog and was asked to leave. Real shame in this is located in a very outdoor, dog friendly part of the world. Cairngorm Hotel, please reconsider your bar policy?

Excellent room was lovely and very comfortable and nicely decorated. Everything was very clean. The staff were very chatty and friendly. The parking was perfect as was the location and I loved my view from the window looking out to the train station.

The room was on the cold side for me and I had to sleep in 2 jumpers on top of my pyjamas. It would have been nice if there was a non-dairy/plant based milk option in the room for the tea/coffee. On leaving the staff were very friendly but did not ask me if everything had been ok.

The location of the hotel is excellent for train, bus and car travel. There is a car park area and the hotel is situated in the centre of the town. The staff are helpful and friendly. There is live music every night which is great. The evening meal menu has a great selection and includes many gluten free options. our room was spacious and very clean and comfortable. I would certainly recommend staying here and we will be back again.

if I had to be picky, for those with no transport arriving early, the only downside is leaving luggage unattended in the front public area rather than secure behind reception or in a locked room. Definitely not a complaint just a point of note.

Delicious food, both at breakfasts and in the evenings. Lovely friendly, hardworking staff, big shout out to Ann and Jerry, both a credit to the team. Fabulous location. A beautiful hotel. A piper each evening is a lovely touch. Can't wait to come back.

Menu restrictive on a long stay, we ate out alternate nights, so this didn't actually become an issue. First come, first served dining is awful, I do feel residents should be able to book ahead if desired. Housekeeping staff are chatty and loud. They woke us most mornings. All staff need name badges. Saturday night was horrendous; a wedding party took over the reception area for a good few hours, we were made to feel uncomfortable coming and going to our room as the stairs had become seating. Couldn't hear myself think. The management really needs to think when booking in weddings at the expense of the comfort and enjoyment of the paying staying guests.

This is a really delightful hotel, the local staff are so friendly and helpful as well as being properly trained, quite a rarity. The hotel restaurant was extremely busy with families as it was English half term week and lots come in from the surrounding campsites etc, the staff handled the numbers really efficiently whilst staying cheerful. The food at breakfast and dinners was excellent, generous helpings, properly provenanced with most of it from local sources, all of which are listed. Smoked haddock for breakfast, delightful! Haggis, venison, Scotch beef and really good lamb etc and plenty for veggies too. The accommodation was good, warm, very comfy bed. Our 'snug' room was perfectly adequate in size for a couple of nights, much better kitted out than a lot of much pricier places eg an ironing board, toiletries, the usual tea and coffee, plenty sockets for the good wifi. Plenty parking at the building. The bar is warm, wide selection of single malt whisky plus good beers, every evening seems to have some form of entertainment. Good location, opposite station, adjacent to bus stop for ski slope or buses to south or Inverness, shops. We know the area very well but this is the first time in decades that we've stayed but will definitely be back!

nothing.

The location is perfect, right in the heart of the town and opposite the train station. Aviemore is a very cute small town so it is easy to walk everywhere and the views of the Cairngorms is breath-taking. Everyone we spoke to in the hotel, around town and in the general area were just so lovely. The rooms were decorated with tartan checks and so cosy, great shower and bed and pillows were super comfy. The general feel of the hotel was so warm and welcoming. Breakfast was very good, really loved the haddock and poached egg, it was cooked to perfection. The staff were all very friendly, serving breakfast with a smile, those behind the front desk were all incredibly helpful and in particular a massive shout out to the bar staff; they really were very fabulous and friendly with fantastic banter and humour. The music every night was so good and the musicians were brilliant and very interactive. On the last night my husband was feeling poorly so unfortunately we didn't get a chance to say goodbye but thank you guys for making our stay so so good :-) We really loved our time here so much, thank you to ALL of the staff for making our stay so enjoyable xxx

It was perfect here, I can't fault a thing.

Good location to explore Cairngorms National Park. My room was a little cramped - the bed took up most of the room, so if you have a lot of luggage it would be a bit of a squeeze. Breakfast was really good, staff were very friendly - they very kindly carried my suitcase up two flights of stairs as there's no lift.

My room was at the front of the hotel, overlooking the carpark, so you got the lights shining up into the room and some noise from the bar downstairs. Some blackout curtains would assist with the light. Couldn't do much about the noise from the bar, but it went quiet around 11pm/12am so it wasn't too bad.

Rooms were very cosy and equipped with everything you could need! Even with the snow outside the rooms were always warm and my partner and I never felt chilly. Staff were so lovely, we had tea in the restaurant and the staff seemed very busy but were still very accommodating and kind. The food in the hotel is superb!! We had a lovely meal with generous portion sizes! The breakfast was included and was a very good hotel breakfast! The location of the hotel is perfect for walking around Aviemore. The shops and other restaurants are within walking distance. There are many other areas around the hotel that are easily accessible by bus or car if you want to explore. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.

Bedroom very spacious and clean - could have had a second chair as there was 2 of us but most hotels only give you one Breakfast was excellent - particularly liked the little glasses of fruit - nice and original touch It was a Sunday night, dining-room full and we had to wait until 8.00 pm + to be served - we only wanted soup and the lentil one was tasty but the chicken/sweetcorn less so.

Purely personal, but I hate non-feather pillows - these were too big and not flexible enough. I wouldn't put this as a criticism, simply that I don't care for them

We dined for both lunch and dinner and the food and service were excellent. Staff were very attentive.

We booked a standard double bed room. The hotel sent us a note prior to arrival that these rooms are situated over the restaurant/bar area and could be noisy as they have nightly live entertainment. It was loud until around 11pm fine after that. We also arrived 20 minutes prior to check in ( I confirmed this with reception). They told us they won’t do any check in prior to 3pm and to come back. Just be aware.
