The room was fine, but very small. We were in the annex outback. The staff was not very accommodating.

Worst hotel ever stayed in

The hotel was filthy, carpets worn. No hot water so had to have a cold shower. Water stains on bedroom ceiling. Overall a very unpleasant stay.

Short break in Dunkeld

Hotel in lovely location on Dunkeld Main Street. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice room. However the place needs some TLC with worn / uneven carpets, windows and cupboards in communal areas needing repair. Dunkeld is a very nice place. Plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby and lovely walking both along the river from the town and further afield to Loch of the Lowes and The Hermitage (NTS).
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff, with a new manager who spent time with us at check-in and made us feel very welcome.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice and central

Booked the annexe, on arriving looked pretty grim, but inside was clean and welcoming, we got upgraded to the main hotel due to an error on room allocation. The staff were all friendly, pleasant and the hotel was clean. It is in need of some upgrading, improvments, but for the price we paid it was worth it. The restaurant was clean, space between tables, the food was okay, we only ate in one night. We enjoyed a game of pool. Overall we would go back, nice and central.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Was great for a one night stop over en route. Beautiful countryside access. Hotel old, well used but quaint and functional. Staff helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

This is a lovely old hotel which we have stayed in many times.

4/10 Fair

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.

Comfortable stay
John, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Avoid.

From start to finish this hotel was a problem, from going into the "Annex" and looking at a lodge that can only be described as a "servant room" the over powering smell of mold, damaged curtains and pillows that are cushions for a sofa, I had to ask to be moved room because this was an expensive stay, the porter agreed and moved me to the "queen suite" which is inside the hotel and is a tiny little room with two single beds, porter made a remark to me and my mother about pushing the single beds together which was very inappropriate and given the opportunity, I would have demanded to cancel and refund my stay if I wasn't staying for an important occasion. As for the "Queen suite", this is a standard room by any other definition in hotels, it was small, uncomfortable and one pillow on two single beds, the other pillows being the same as the "annex", cushions for a sofa.

6/10 Good

Good Afternoon I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my stay at the Royal Dunkeld Hotel on Saturday, 13th September. As a long-standing member, I rarely raise complaints, but unfortunately, my experience on this occasion fell well below acceptable standards. The hotel was dirty, and the service was extremely poor—I even witnessed two families leave because they were unable to get any assistance. Most concerning was the lack of cleanliness and maintenance. Fresh dog urine was present on the reception carpet and remained uncleaned for over 24 hours. In addition, there was no running hot water, forcing me to take a cold shower in a unit that was very worn and dated. This experience was both unpleasant and disappointing. I would be grateful to know whether similar complaints have been raised about this hotel, as I would certainly not recommend it to fellow members in its current condition. I trust you will look into this matter and I look forward to your response. Kind regards John
