The hotel is very run down. We had broken blinds in our room, no overhead light in the bathroom, heavily stained cushions on the bed,I could go on. Breakfast is very limited with just two choices and the ingredients are of poor quality. The only positive was that the bed was clean and comfy. The website doesn’t reflect the actual state of the rooms, and it’s extremely overpriced and wouldn’t recommend.

We loved our stay at Loch Leven!! Impressed from the time we drove up and saw how lovely it was! Free car park, great dinner food selections, the bar opens at 3pm which was lovely. The staff are friendly and kind. We were a little overloaded on several Scottish breakfasts in a row and they were more than accommodating to figure out an alternative. It's a lovely spot especially if you need a quiet break from the hustle of tourist season!

Loch Leven Heaven

With the unfortunate heat wave our room was very warm with no fan. Being upstairs made it even warmer. Our bathroom was receiving an odar from the kitchen in the morning and evening which was usually garlic which was not overwhelming but not always pleasant. Our view was of the rear of the hotel which was the opposite side of the hotel that had the view of the river. Not the best view. Views from the dining area and patio were beautiful! Food was very good. Breakfasts were good as well. Bar was good. I felt they were understaffed the day of our arrival as the service for dinner was very slow and we were not the only party that wanted our food quicker and waited and waited to receive our bill.

The view of the river was beautiful. However you are right by the bridge that goes over that same river and there is traffic noise. The rooms are in disrepair. Floors are uneven and squeaky. Tap on the sink was not bolted down and moved whenever you switched on the water. Shower was very tiny. We were given a room upstairs and there’s no lift so you have to carry all your bags up. We wouldn’t stay there again or recommend.

Great property to stop over on route to Skype or Inverness or return to Glasgow / Edinburgh - dining was excellent and the brewery own blend of gin different. The POD options add variety although we don’t stay in one. Superb views of the hills and Loch.

Not worth the price

Beautiful location and friendly staff, however, this is a very dated hotel and is not worth the roughly 340 GBP per night that we paid. We stayed in what is supposed to be one of their nicer rooms - the deluxe double. The room felt very dated, and not in a good way. No hair dryer or telephone in the room either. Small and uncomfortable shower. Toilet squished against a wall. Bed was comfortable at least. We had dessert in the restaurant in the evening which was very good, but breakfast was poor. The scrambled eggs were tasteless. While not a terrible hotel, a very poor value for the price.

Shabby and disappointing

Conditions of the building and the room were shabby and in need of much needed updating. The shower was not much bigger than one you would find in an RV. The views from the restaurant are beautiful, but not spectacular enough to make up for the exorbitant price per night. This is the one accommodation I regret booking out of the five I made for our nine-day tour of Scotland.

DO NOT STAY HERE

My mom and I vacationed for 2 weeks in Scotland. We stayed at 8 different small hotels, inns and airbnbs all in the same price range as Loch Levan Hotel. They were all simple, clean and comfortable with kind and accommodating hosts. The Loch Levan hotel was our last stay in Scotland and the worst accommodations I have had anywhere in the world in the past 20 years. Upon arrival we noticed that the room was very hot and very dirty but after a full day of travel from the Isle of Skye, we decided to just ignore it, go to bed and address it with management in the morning. That was a mistake….The beds were so uncomfortable that you could feel the springs in them. The bathroom was filthy, hair in the drain and covered in mold. The room smelled of room perfume, likely to cover up the smell of mold, the Wi-Fi didn’t work, and there were cobwebs in the room as well. It literally felt like we were staying in an animal stable or a bad hostel. The next morning I asked if we could move rooms into something cleaner and a newer bed for our 2nd night. We were told that there was no other rooms. We could not stay another night in the room. We asked for our money back for the second night since we were going to have to check out and find new accommodations. I was told to email management for a refund request. I sent multiple emails with NO REPLY. I contacted hotels.com to file a grievance and they too were unable to get ahold of anyone. Find another place to stay. ANYWHERE would be better.
