I had a lovely time here. The room was clean, and for a Saturday evening it was quiet . It is an older building but I love the charm. I also love the coffee and tea in room amenities. The front desk reception was easy and very kind service. Would recommend this place.

The Royal Dunkeld Hotel wins hands down for the helpfulness and kindness of its staff. There are choices in stunning Dunkeld but the service here has been outstanding. I have been upgraded, offered a function room for a meeting, and have extended my stay here because of it.

the staff were friendly, but the room was very basic, the gutter outside the door needed maintenance which caused water to pour out during the night, keeping us awake. Lovely location, but the annex rooms need a lot more love.

Bedding and bed were all right, clean
Grime at the shower door hinge
General untidyness throughout the hotel
Limited dinner menu
Hotel room price about right, not worth any more.

A stopover on our way home. The hotel could be described as ‘tired’ but was more than made up for by the super friendly staff.

No frills, but clean and comfy hotel.
We had a very nice stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, beds comfy, and breakfast was nicely cooked. We enjoyed the pool table and darts in the bar area.
