Was mixed about my previous visit so tried the Hydro again. Last Minute screwed up my booking but when I turned up at reception I was warmly welcomed and a room was arranged in a fast and friendly way. Good sized room, 330, no views but modern and clean etc.. No faults. Good friendly service in the bar. Really good... More

First things first - I love Dunblane Hydro. My family and I have been coming to the hotel since I was very young (I'm 36 now), and my wife & I got married there in 2006. So it's definitely a special place for us. That said, I think it's only fair I review the specific experience we had during our... More

We got off to a bad start when we couldn't in to the hotel through the rear entrance from car park. Tried to contact reception by using Disabled access button but no response. Finally obtained entry by manually pushing large rotating door. Discovered from receptionist that when door doesn't work, neither does the disabled button so no way of alerting... More

Dear firewire204 Thanks for your review of DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane after your recent stay with us. Your arrival at the hotel was not the start I want for any of my guests. The revolving door is touch sensitive for safety reasons so that if by chance the sensors are touched it automatically comes to a stop in order to... More

Set in beautiful grounds, the hotel is imposing and expectations are high. Unfortunately, the room that I reserved at about £120 excl breakfast was in an unattracitve 1970s wing. It resembled a Travel Lodge. The bath was chipped and the loo roll holder broken. I wanted to listen to some music and the only devices were the TV which seemed... More

Dear LondonRFitz Thank you for your review of our hotel. I was sorry to read that there were a number of points in your room that reflected poorly about the maintenance and attention to detail. The provision of Wifi is unfortunately chargeable across most of the brands with Hilton and I'm sorry that this came as a surprise to you.... More

From the outside the hotel is impressive but inside it looks tired and dull. Free internet access is only available for 1 hour in the bar area, after which you have to pay for it by the minute!!. The staff could easily be more helpful but aren't. This hotel is expensive to stay in and is not value for money.... More

Stayed one night with my partner. Our room was not in the main part of the hotel but in the extension part to the right. The room was adequate, nothing special. We booked to have dinner in the restaurant. This was definitely the highlight of our stay. The restaurant is nicely decorated, reminded me a bit of Malmaison/Hotel du Vin... More

Bad management, staff communication & customer relations. We asked for an early check in but weren't accommodated. On arrival we were told the room would be ready an hour later which would have been fine, but the room still wasn't ready for over another hour leaving us having to rush. Then it was the wrong room, a very small double... More

Dear Vanessa B Thank you for today's review of our hotel after your stay with us. When a guest, such as yourself, has a delayed check in to their room I accept that from the outset we find it difficult to recover confidence in their stay with us. The room allocation admittedly should have been correct as well. I'm hoping... More
