Banchory Royal Deeside Railway Hotels

"Really lovely locally owned and run hotel. Our kingsize upgraded room was stunning, and massive. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The homemade shortbread in the room was incredible, and they even refilled it when we scoffed it all! Breakfast was tasty, and the hot food was made to order. The on-site gym “The Unit” was really great and fully included in the room rate, which felt like a treat! They are clearly modernising the hotel to an high standard, and as far as we saw only the room corridors and stairs were still to be upgraded. The parking was free and plentiful, and it’s a great base for exploring the surrounding area. All the staff were exceptionally lovely & friendly (with the one exception of the older gent who checked us in who treated us like an inconvenience, and shouldn’t really be working in hospitality) "

"Good hotel at budget price "

"Nice, clean, welcoming room with a great view of the river. Loved the oldie world feel of the place. "

"Great hotel, very relaxed and suited our children with pool and other games downstairs. Liked the bar and food offering, especially when we arrived late and still needed dinner. Bedrooms were comfortable - would stay again. Only one issue - TV surround in room 505 fell off the wall on arrival. Thankfully no one hurt but could have been much more serious. Staff moved us to a new room quickly but hope this is fixed so no risk of it happening again. "

"Nice hotel , good location , lovely staff and great food "

"Clean spacious room for the family. Good facilities for family at this price point. Extra bed provided for children - everyone got a proper bed to sleep in. Cool and accessible room, everyone slept. Good selection at breakfast. Wished we had booked ahead for the pool to get a better time slot. "

"Really nice hotel, lovely staff and nice restaurant. Even the fussy eaters in our party were able to find several things they really liked."
