Hotel was OK

The hotel was okay, not much to write home about. Several members of the staff looked like they couldn’t be bothered to be there! Two of them were quite surly and rude. They could take a leaf out of the Uni staff who are working there. They were great fun, friendly, and helpful. There was no water or fridge in the room due to company policy, but you can buy water from the bar at £4.50 per large bottle. The rooms are tired and in need of an update. There are two USB ports at the side of the bed, which was very comfy. Don’t come here expecting an Uber, and if you need a taxi to take you anywhere, book it 40 minutes in advance as most come from Stirling. If you come on the train and decide to walk to the hotel, which is circa 20 minutes, it is mostly uphill on a steady gradient. Then the killer part is the uphill walk from the road to the hotel reception.

Beautiful & recommended

The drive up to the hotel is beautiful with a grand entrance. Check in was perfect. The main dining and lounge areas are very relaxing and welcoming with helpful staff. The rooms are a little tired and extremely warm which made it a little uncomfortable but didnt ruin the trip. Breakfast was really good with a great selection. We also dined in the lounge and, whilst not a great selection, what we had was delicious. Overall, it was a great two night stay and great value too.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were very welcoming and even had a little treat bag ready for us and our dog! The hotel was easy to get around and the on site gym & pool were great. (They also provide towels for you at the gym). We ate at the restaurant both nights and the food was delicious!

Wonderful overnight stay in Dunblane

Wonderful stay at Dunblane Hydro with friends. Our room was well equipped with everything we needed. We were lucky enough to get a room with a stunning view over the town and the hills. The bed was extremely comfortable and bathroom spacious and immaculately clean. Our meal in the Kailyard by Nick Nairn was amazing and the staff were so friendly and attentive . Welcoming reception staff ensured our table was booked for dinner and hot cookies on arrival was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had in hotels with a wide selection and piping hot cooked food. Didn’t use the leisure facilities but did enjoy a relaxing drink in one of the lounges. Check out time meant we did not need to rush away in the morning.

The hotel itself is amazing, our room could have been better, found a t-shirt down the back of a chair in our room & also a two pound coin on the chair, which to me means it was not moved to be hoovered!! Other than that it was good, breakfast is amazing! As was dinner very good food!!

I would recommend reserving the restaurant as we were left standing for a while. Staff were slow. After being seated though service was good and food was lovely. Hotel is lovely and bar/ breakfast and reception staff were excellent. I would stay again.

Weve had to put a complaint in as we were not happy with the lack.of knowledge from staff, given wrong information leading to us having to choose from a different food menu that cost alot less than the money we paid for the additional dinner and breakfast. Blood on the wall in the bathroom. Not the experience we expect from a high end and expensive chain of hotels such ad the hilton
