Good size family room with a very fresh looking bathroom. My son was very happy with the bunk bed. Good location in the middle of the town with the option for eating in the hotel. Handy for visiting Aviemore and opening up the highlands. Would definitely visit this hotel again. Price was great

Whilst the decor is a little bit tired the room itself had an incredibly comfy bed. The staff were very friendly and the food and drink prices for dinner are really good value. Enjoyed playing on the pool table and would happily stay here again.

I get that the room was cheap and we weren’t expecting anything other than basic.The food in the bar was lovely and enjoyed it.However, there was a smell in our triple room…it was so bad we couldn’t sleep. The bathroom smelt damp and the smell was overwhelming. The lovely CK boxers and bottles outside the window wasn’t the best view we had in Scotland haha. If it hadn’t been for the smell it would have been okay. We literally ran out in the morning!!

Stayed previously and needed a reasonably priced overnight stop on the way up to Orkney. |We noticed that it appears to be going through some renovation, the bedroom looked as if it had been redecorated. …

Before I start, I'm giving this place 5 stars related to it's cost. Don't expect to find four post beds and sweeping marble staircases!Rooms are basic and a little tired, but clean and comfortable. No views, but it is in the middle of town.Location is very handy for all amenities and shops in Grantown, it's basically bang in the middle. This does mean however that it doesn't have any nice gardens to sit in or an views.Service was very good and meals both breakfast and dinner were good, hearty fare without being too fancy.All at a good price too, so another box ticked.In all, excellent value for money.
