Rooms are too hot and reception told us they didn't supply fans. The place feels like a ghost town. There's no choice of stuff to do as most of things are closed. The place would benefit from a pub garden and another building with spa pool for the adults.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
