Basics are right, but needs upgrades/modernisation

Beautiful old building and great location. Service was mostly good, although the table service at the bar wasn't very attentive. Restaurant and breakfast were excellent. The bedroom was old and quirky - in a good way - mostly. However, the mattress was at the end of it life and very uncomfortable - a double mattress that was a double mattress (normally, a double room has a bigger than UK standard Double bed - but hey-ho!). The shower-over-the-bath was lethal, someone previous had almost pulled the towel rail down, guessing whilst trying to get out the shower/bath.

Dunblane Hydro Stay.

We stayed at the Dunblane Hydro a number of years ago and we noticed a difference this time. The double room had a tray with kettle etc but there was no decaf tea bags (decaf coffee was available). There were no biscuits or bottled water. There were no dressing gowns or slippers. Perhaps the more expensive rooms would have had these. The room and bathroom was clean and bed and pillows very comfortable. The furniture looked a little tired as did some of the carpets in the corridors. Breakfast was good. Staff were all very nice and helpful. We would return to this hotel but for a Hilton we expected a little more.

Initially given a room that hadn't been cleaned so offered a smaller room for the same price which didn’t seem right to me. Then told that the restaurant was fully booked so had to make do with the bar menu which was very limited. Food was good and the staff friendly. I expected more from this hotel.

Concierge was excellent! Staff was helpful and breakfast, though too expensive, was good. The hotel has some age on it and many ups and down stairs in the hallways didn't make sense if you have mobility issues. Priced kind of high for the age of the building.

Great one night stay.

The staff were all attentive, extremely friendly and more than helpful with any requests. Love music was excellent, table service from the bar all for less than the coat of a budget chain hotel in Inverness. Really impressive surrounding area/grounds, just a shame didnt get to try out the health suite/spa facilities.
