Clean, friendly staff, good food and a good bar. The room was massive, as was the bed and was clean. Had everything you need.

Breakfast buffet could maybe improve but wasn’t terrible

The breakfasts were very good, with plenty of choice and local options. Our room was a good size and the bathroom had been quite recently refurbished. It was worth the extra cost for a room with a view, and the hotel has good options to upgrade if they are not full. Parking was plentiful and easy and the beer garden was a pleasant place to sit. Given the age and style of the hotel, we expected, but liked, the slightly faded glory of the place.

The food in the bar and the restaurant was acceptable but was not amazing, and the choice of beers was disappointing. The walk into town is short but quite steep and could be challenging.

Reception staff were welcoming and courteous and arranged things very conveniently for us. The room was very comfortable, clean, and bright. We had a very tasty and well presented dinner in the restaurant. Although the waitress seemed to be doing all the work on her own everything went smoothly and the food arrived piping hot.

The drain in the wash-hand basin in our room was blocked. It did drain eventually but we avoided using it as much as possible. The over bath shower was tricky to figure out but worked well once it was going. Stepping in and out of the bath with the fixed shower door was a bit risky, despite the hand-holds, and there was insufficient hanging space for damp towels.

Upon our arrival we were unable to find a parking space in close proximity to the hotel reception whilst we offloaded our luggage. Being disabled, we parked up at the entrance, intending to move our vehicle to the ample parking facility in the area opposite the hotel, after registering in at reception. I explained the situation to Connell Morton, who was on reception duty at the time, and he very kindly allowed us sufficient time to offload our luggage and sign in. No sooner had we signed in when Connor went outside and returned with the news that he had found an acceptable parking space for us close to the doorway. A very commendable response to our parking problem. Our visit just got better and better as every staff member we encountered was very helpful and courteous. We certainly enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay here again when next in the area.

Most enjoyable stay so can't really think about anything we didn't like.

The hotel staff were all lovely people very professional yet very friendly. They helped me, they allowed me to leave luggage at reception. The receptionist Connor showed me a map recommended activities. The other receptionists were very attentive. The staff of the bar were very helpful in showing us menus and options for evening dining:either restaurant or bar. I adored the Saturday night entertainment: a singer, guests could dance. The entertainer communicated alot with his audience. There was privacy in the rooms, good sound proofing. I enjoyed the swimming pool, jacuzzi and especially the sauna. The breakfast was brilliant a buffet of all sorts of foods: cooked breakfast as well as cereals, yoghurt, fruit and viennoiseries. I liked the hotel and would like to return.

The hotel is an old traditional building which I like, I noticed that some redecoration is needed this didn't mean that I didn't enjoy staying there. For people who like everything to be very modern, it's not for them. I loved it.

Beautiful location. We've been to Pitlochry many times, stayed at various hotels there. The staff were helpful and friendly. Spring is a nice time of year for a long weekend away. We enjoyed lovely breakfasts and it's great that they cater for people with food intolerances. I usually have to ask for lactose free milk, and sadly most say they can't help. At the Hydro, I found 3 different milks I could have! Enjoyed cereal and tea/coffee. Buffet style breakfast was delicious. Staff kept checking everything was perfect. Also enjoyed our evening meals, good choice and good value. Wide selection of drinks at the bar in a relaxing atmosphere. Our room had a lovely view, was very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed using the leisure facilities. Car park nice and close and adequate spaces. Might take our dog with us next time.

Big lounge, good food, pleasant staff

Looks a bit ‘tired’ here and there. Could do with a little renovation.

Lovely big room and very spacious

We had a problem with the toilet as we couldn't identify a smell, I reported it the next day and the staff sent in the housemaid and that seemed to have done the trick. But the next night the smell was back, I went down to the desk and a member of staff came up and could smell it, she then said they would get it looked at, we left for the day but on return to the room all seemed fine till we opened the bathroom door and the smell was still there. On leaving today I reported it again. Hopefully they will get to the bottom of it, as it is a beautiful big room.

Location being half way up the hill . Like the fact they have a singer on at weekends. Love the pool jacuzzi and soon new sauna. New bar manager who does cocktails on draft. Yum yum. Really impressed they are delicious. I would recommend u give this a try. All reception staff are all very helpful as is the night porter.

House maintenance. They need to perhaps stop using matt paint. I was in a superior room. (Newly refurbished). Room is already has marks on walls. Which is a shame. Only one chair in room too, which also lets the room down.

The dining room staff were very helpful and attentive. Nothing was too much of a problem. The bedroom was very spacious, and although very basic furnishings, it was warm and comfortable - all that we were looking for during our stay.

The overall decor of the hotel was a bit tired and in need of a general refurb. The flooring in the corridors was very uneven and creaky, making it difficult to walk on. I am aware that it's not meant to be a 'new build' condition, but the floors are quite awful. Carpets were also threadbare in parts with open joins. Lighting could do with general improving - it is currently neither 'period' or 'atmospheric'. It just has a 70's feel in the evening. Contrasting with during the day (without the lights) when the lounge looked far more inviting.
