Exceeded Expectations.

We had a fantastic stay at Eight Acres Hotel and were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room had been recently refurbished, and it was fresh and comfortable with modern touches like faux leather headboards a mirror frame. There were plenty of sockets, which was really convenient for charging devices, although none had USB ports, so remember your plugs. We also enjoyed the tea, coffee, and hot chocolate facilities and especially the shortbread biscuits. The shower was powerful and hot, perfect for a refreshing start to the day. Breakfast was another highlight, with a delicious full Scottish breakfast featuring black pudding and tattie scone. There is currently no catering facilities, (or pool/gym/spa), at the hotel other than breakfast, but there’s a bus stop just outside the hotel and it took us 5 mins into the centre of Elgin. We didn’t want to drive as we wanted a drink with our meal. Overall, our experience was great. With good hospitality, comfortable rooms, and a decent breakfast.

No pool, no gym, no dinner service

Not so good overnight business stay. Booked primarily due to leisure facilities. Upon arrival they weren't available in over a year, but still been advertised on booking sites as a feature (plus over other hotels in the area). Rooms walls were paper thin, no dinner service in restaurant. Only breakfast. One plus, staff at reception was super friendly and helpful, was happy to change my room on request.

Booked this hotel for location close to hospital. Ideal and close enough to walk. Booked a small double room which was sufficient for our purpose. The bathroom was compact but had a good shower and constant hot water. The breakfast each day was excellent and when there weren’t many guests, it was cooked to order. Very fresh good quality food and sufficient choice. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Very tired rooms, mattress was pretty bad, smallest TV I've had in a hotel. All draft lagers were off. (no gas!!) Wonder if they are struggling to survive. On the plus side, breakfast and staff were very good.

Where are all the guests?

I've stayed at the Eight Acres many times over the years and it has always been a busy and vibrant hotel, but this time it was virtually deserted. Given the absence of guests there were fewer staff on duty. The staff were polite and helpful, but the whole place felt empty. Neither the gym nor the pool was available during my stay.

Never again, don’t be fooled by the pictures

Staff were excellent in the sense that they found me another room. Fact is that the place is dated, unfit for purpose and nothing like the images. Walls were so thin that I could hear every word of next doors conversation as if they were talking to me from the next room. It’s obviously been decorated but it’s the equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig. Never again
