Beautiful building but sadly needs a lot of upgrading, rather outdated and shabby furniture and fittings.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.

2 rooms, one great, one with several H&S issues

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.

Lost its shine

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.

Fabulous hotel with excellent friendly staff.

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.

What's not to love?

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.
