DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro

I stay a lot at this hotel and it’s so nice to be recognised and called by your name on arrival and during the stay. Staff cannot do enough for you.

Great stay, staff were very attentive especially during power cut.

A fantastic room and beautiful dinner.

Beautiful building but sadly needs a lot of upgrading, rather outdated and shabby furniture and fittings. Lots of noise with children running around the corridors. The restaurant though made the stay the food and service were first class. The leisure facilities also need a face lift.

Staff were excellent and friendly food was brilliant

Lovely hotel for our one night stopover from the highlands. Cannot fault

We have booked two rooms for 3 nights. Even though the first room was to the usual standard the 2nd one was not so good with several health and safety issues. The room was on a corridor that apparently had recent water damage and it was smelling mouldy. The room itself, had electricity sockets that were loose (the sockets on the desk) with visible live wires that kids could easily touch. Also, the connection between the two single beds was through a latch which was loose and with the screws exposed at the end of the bed; that could easily hurt and adult or a kid passing by too close. The internal lock/ latch of the door was broken with sharp end the could easily hurt a person on the head if of similar height. So, 3-4 major Health and Safety issues that should be addressed immediately not to result in a incident.

The room was wonderful. The hallways were very dingy, a surprise. Seemed like a lack of attention to detail all around

Great location but hotel building desperately in need of renovation. We spent the same few days here 3 years ago and it was so much nicer then. Can’t fault the staff. They were excellent. Breakfasts great. Apparently hotel was bought over in the autumn and they are waiting to hear what’s planned for the building.

Had a fabulous overnight stay with our granddaughter in a family room. We had a lovely room overlooking the front and over to Dunblane. Everything was comfortable. Loved the swimming pool. Staff were excellent and friendly everywhere we were, a real credit to the hotel. Breakfast was a huge selection of food served in lovely surroundings. Stayed with friends before and will definitely be back.

Great staff and food. Rooms and shared areas possibly looking a bit tired but good value for money.

Night away to catch up with my friend to celebrate her 60th Birthday. Very enjoyable.

My partner and I needed a place to stay on our way up north, and since he grew up near the Hydro, we decided to give it a go. What a good shout! From DoubleTree's classic, warm cookies to the spaciousness of the room, we felt at home and comfortable. The Hydro also oozes Victorian charm and boasts stunning views of the surrounding area. What's not to love? It's actually a shame we didn't stay longer. We're keen to return, especially to try The Kailyard by Nick Nairn. My only issue is that the room door allowed a lot of noise through which was a slight disturbance.

There was no heating the room was freezing all night had to wait to the next day to change rooms was not a good experience at all

Quick and friendly check in and check out. Room clean. We enjoyed the pool, sauna and steam room and the staff here were also lovely. Great base if you want to explore thd local are.

As expected it was a good stay overall. Spacious common areas, nice restaurant and quiet place. We were disappointed with the size of the room considering we booked a Double Room Plus and got a very small room at the end of the corridor. There was hardly room to walk around the bed, certainly nowhere near over 20sqm as stated. We stayed in a normal double room a very long time ago but don't remember it being that small.

Fabulous location and the check-in was very smooth. The room was comfortable with tea and coffee provided. Unfortunately the TV was not working for the duration of our stay (problems with signal reception). The food in the Nick Nairn restaurant was first class, tasty and good portion size although let down by the slow service. The buffet breakfast was a feast!! Despite the 4 stars we would certainly stay here again and try the health centre.

Wonderful stay as usual

It’s a lovely old building but it’s getting a little tired, worn carpets at the lifts and stairs. Nice small room lovely shower,

Very good stay breakfast was good hotel was busy but still got a parking spot drinks a bit more expensive but overall very enjoyable
