The hotel infrastructure has definitely seen better days, thin walls means you hear the other rooms talking, snoring, toilets and water flushing. The cleanliness was good and the staff pleasant, but dingy lighting and faded fraying carpets and smokers sitting right outside the entrance doors means that the overall impression is not great.

Hotel was clean and tidy although a little dated. Breakfast was good. We had only 2 issues. Firstly no aircon or even a fan in the room. Secondly the window to our bathroom was carpark facing. The blind wasn't big enough for the window which wasn't great our privacy.

We have stayed at the Hydro several times over the years with our dog. However the hotel is looking dated, floors need repaired and rooms would in our opinion need a refresh. Also alot of the areas not directly in use were quite dusty and lots of rust were evident. A deep clean of those areas would be recommended. A really nice hotel to stay but in the future I think we will look to stay elsewhere.

Disappointed

Very tired hotel, poor service beyond reception and no flexibility to guest needs or requirements given at all. I asked at the bar if I could eat outside at 8.35/40pm ish after letting the receptionist know how hungry we were after a long days drive. The bar said yes but then when I asked for a menu in the same minute said no the kitchen closed at 8.15pm. He offered me a local takeaway menu or a bag of crisps. After serving me a drink a lady approached the bar and asked if she could order deserts - he took her order. Will not be revisiting as my mid way stop on my next trip to the highlands. Such a shame after such high hopes from Pitlochry. Just a really unpleasant experience.
