Hotel was clean and tidy although a little dated. Breakfast was good. We had only 2 issues. Firstly no aircon or even a fan in the room. Secondly the window to our bathroom was carpark facing. The blind wasn't big enough for the window which wasn't great our privacy.

We have stayed at the Hydro several times over the years with our dog. However the hotel is looking dated, floors need repaired and rooms would in our opinion need a refresh. Also alot of the areas not directly in use were quite dusty and lots of rust were evident. A deep clean of those areas would be recommended. A really nice hotel to stay but in the future I think we will look to stay elsewhere.

Disappointed

Very tired hotel, poor service beyond reception and no flexibility to guest needs or requirements given at all. I asked at the bar if I could eat outside at 8.35/40pm ish after letting the receptionist know how hungry we were after a long days drive. The bar said yes but then when I asked for a menu in the same minute said no the kitchen closed at 8.15pm. He offered me a local takeaway menu or a bag of crisps. After serving me a drink a lady approached the bar and asked if she could order deserts - he took her order. Will not be revisiting as my mid way stop on my next trip to the highlands. Such a shame after such high hopes from Pitlochry. Just a really unpleasant experience.

It is an older hotel, but very comfortable. Room was spacious. Staff friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was very good. Easy walk to a variety of restaurants and a well stocked liquor store for anyone shopping for malt whisky. Good value.

The room was spacious, as was the bathroom. We found the building to be relatively quiet, considering it's an older property. While some areas were a bit tired, this didn't take away from the overall quality of our stay, with the attentiveness of the staff, definitely helping.

Decor a bit dated but clean and tidy. Building looked good from outside. Grounds were needing tidied up and were not very well maintained. Planters at front needed watered and tidied up. Room was spacious and had good views from windows. Only one window opened. Bed was comfortable and shower and toilet was good. Food was excellent for breakfast and dinner. Set menu gave a good choice. Staff were friendly pleasant and helpful We enjoyed our stay!
