Premier Inn Aviemore hotel - Aviemore

Great location. Staff all generally excellent. Nice room but had we been pit in lower floor or facing back perhaps wouldn’t have been so happy. You have to request room cleans which we preferred as we weren’t bothered during our stay otherwise if we had a lay in. Cleaning staff always happy to swap towels as we requested. Food was good on an evening, breakfast was excellent and pretty good value considering other options in town. Found a space to park in each night.||Few cons we found: basic wifi slow and charging £5 a night for better WiFi seems mean considering hotel has zero mobile reception inside. Food service slow on 2nd time of 2 times eating on evening, but fine on 1st. I wouldn’t be happy with a room on bottom floor (or basement level). All in all we were happy with stay, perfection doesn’t exist in reality and we can’t really expect it. We would happily stay again in the future and were a little sad to leave.

Since our last visit they now have electric charging points in the car park. You also need to register your car on arrival for free parking. It has the usual style of Premier inn rooms, which are comfortable. It was quiet even though we backed on to a railway line. There's limited speed Wi Fi ,and even more limited mobile reception, but that's the location. We sat in the car!!||For ease we had dinner in their cafe which was good, and breakfast is more than adequate. There is an Italian restaurant opposite for evening meals or it's a short walk into town.

Service and food from Lorraine was incredible. couldn't have asked for anything more. Made a great trip even better after a long day. Clean and spacious rooms. beds were so comfortable which was needed after a full day of travelling. we will definitely be coming again

Great location, considerate staff, hence putting us in a bigger room so we could share with our tandem. Food good, nothing fancy but tasted good. The bed was lovely and comfy, especially after 53 hard miles cycling. Shower lovely and hot!!!

Stopped in to use EV charger on route to a job at exact moment heavy rainstorm came. Latte necessary! Grateful to be welcomed and served by the lovely Emma (Chef) who showed me to a very comfortable chair to dry out and enjoy my coffee.

A two nights stay here in June. Good parking facilities, good location, a short walk into town. Staff very attentive, friendly & helpful throughout the stay. Breakfast spot on, although dining area a bit hot, need the air con up a bit. The only gripe was, as previous reviewers have mentioned, is the scuffiness of the rooms and their decor. So many scrapes and marks on the walls, fingerprints all over the doors, brown marks on the carpet, dust and hairs lodged into the corners of skirting, dust, cobwebs and other unidentifiable elements stuck to the walls, peeling paint, mould around the bath sealant, the extractor fan not working, urine stains on the wall by the toilet, tiles not been cleaned properly in a long time, furniture items becoming loose, etc. Simple maintenance issues that for some reason are being neglected, which could make the customer's stay so much more pleasant. Other than those issues, all else was good.

It's very clean and modern, the staff are very helpful, parking is good, it's probably as good as the other one in Stirling but obviously this is Aviemore so the location probably makes it the best one in Scotland. I would highly recommend this hotel. I can't find fault in the place at all.

I've included some photos to help will update with room shots and reception.

Started off well with a nice warm welcome from Kurt on the front desk but things went down hill from there. The room was large and very clean however, due to mobility issues we booked a Assessable room with a Wet Room. The room was very assessable and did have alarm cords in the bathroom and by the bed but had a conventional bath you had to climb in to use the shower. As we staying for 5 nights we declined having the room serviced daily but DID ask for a mid week service (A clean, new towels and bins emptying) but this was not carried out at all. We ate out most nights but one night decided to try their on-site restaurant. We turned up at 5pm and asked for a table for two only to be told they only have one chief on duty that night and it would be after 8pm before we could be served! Not our fault you are understaffed and its a poor showing when guests in your hotel can't get a meal in your own restaurant. Fortunately there several excellent eateries in Aviemore that ARE happy to serve walk-ins with no delay. |A bit of a let down from Premier Inn's usual standards.
