The location and the shop in the hotel complex. The shop had everything ranging from beautiful chocolates , prepared meals , gifts , clothes , and beautiful Christmas decorations. The Italian restaurant pizzeria in the hotel Morich was very good. Nothing opened for dining on Monday nights so you have to go into town , not far to walk and plenty of eateries offered .
Numerous maintenance issues in the Hotel Morlich. The lifts were not working so the baggage had to be taken upstairs by ourselves or staff. Was not good enough.Efpos issues also. The reception staff lacked customer service, it was very disappointing.

Lovely hotel and a super restaurant on the complex where we had a lovely lunch.
I know the hotel is mainly used for conference guests but there were a few guests that were not attending the conference. The conference guests had no consideration for other guests. It was as if they had the hotel exclusively to themselves. At 6.50am they must have all been meeting for breakfast as they made such a noise in the hallway talking and banging doors. And then hanging about outside as it was a lovely day. I do know that the hotel has no control of this but I think guests at conferences should be advised to consider other guests.

The room was clean and tidy. The receptionist was very helpful and polite. Plenty of parking space. Shops and leisure just few minutes walk. Bed was very comfortable. The hotel was quiet and pleasant
The hotel by itself was nice and good, but the jacuzzi at the leisure centre was out of order what was a negative experience. We used the Aspects restaurant for dinner what was a mistake: the staff were polite but the menu is not the same as the one online, from the menu they had there had many things out of stock, we needed to wait for our drinks for 30 minutes, it was very chaotic the service and the experience. When we go next time we will choose the Morlich hotel but some other restaurant.

We were moved to MacDonalds Highlands hotel as the Morlich was closed. Hotel was nice and room spacious, although lift was broken and we never saw anyone working to get it repaired
Some of the information provided by the staff was not always clear. Reception told us that the pool was open all day but when we went, it was only open for selected hours. Also, restaurant staff on our 1st day were not very informative. 2nd day, they were very helpful but we had found most things by then

The room was spacious and comfortable. It was also in an ideal location very close to the local train station and close to the bus station. All staff whom I spoke with were pleasant and the breakfast was ideal.
There were no issues as such although I was only given shower gel, shampoo and conditioner on the first night I stayed. These were small, one use bottles, and they were never replaced for my second or third nights stay. After the second day, I left a written note requesting shower gel. Again none came so I had to use the bar of soap in the shower. Not ideal but no great concern. As I was leaving, I advised the chambermaid I had left clean towels folded on the bed. She advised me she did not understand and evidently knew no English. This explains why my note was ignored and made me feel better as this lady was lovely and the language barrier was not her fault. With the exception of this one small thing, everything was great, I enjoyed my stay and would return to this hotel.

We are super proud of this hotel! We stayed here for 2 nights, the staff are so welcoming and polite. We were treat to a free bottle of Prosecco from the hotel on arrival, and on the evening we were treat to a free drink, and to top it off my wife was treat to a lovely little birthday treat from everyone in the Aspect restaurant. The facilities are so easy to get to, there is a big selection of activities to do in and around the area. The food is amazing from the restaurants in the area with a selection of different food types. We will definitely be placing another booking here for another holiday. This hotel has really impressed us and we definitely recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone!!!!

Good breakfast. Tea/coffee service was not quick enough on both mornings. Coffee was a bit wishie washie but the overall food buffet was good and plentiful. Very nice to have fresh butter and not in foil wraps...Good for the environment and a nice personal touch and also you only use as you go.
The signage could be better or the directions on your booking confirmation should lay out a map on exactly which hotel to go to but once your in and settled and had a look around its not intimatading as it first seems.

Location was brilliant, room was lovely.
Aspects restaurant fell below standard. While the food was good. Our meal took over 45 minutes to arrive when it did come one of the orders was wrong and had to be sent back. Our puddings arrived on time but one of these had to be sent back also as the sticky toffee pudding was tough and inedible. Staff offered apologies and a complimentary drinks. I understand errors can be made but our order was simple and the restaurant wasn't overly busy. Not a great experience.

The facilities are really good and the staff are lovely - our room was spotless clean comfortable and breakfast was really good 👍 the pool and sauna are excellent and the lady at the front desk friendly and helpful
4pm to get in to our room- just not acceptable, especially when the website says 3pm- we had plans for the evening including a dinner reservation , by the time our room was ready we had to rush - this definitely spoiled our stay - if this time doesn't change back to 2pm or 3pm , then we wont be back as intended with family 😑- macdonald hotel directors take note as there were lots of complaints about this .

Excellent location on the doorstop of the Cairngorms. After a full a English Breakfast Buffet, you are only 15 minutes to the ski station and hiking trails. Be the first to get the parking space as piste. The rooms are excellent value for money, clean and elegant with complimentary tea and coffee. Elemis shower gel and shampoo provides a luxurious morning and evening shower getting guest ready for the hills or a night out. Giovanni restaurant is very popular with the pizza oven drawing In hungry guest from the hotel and from guest of other hotels. Parking is free and close to the petrol station.
No fridge.
