Rooms were well equipped with lovely toiletries provided as well. Was so good in fact I'm staying again later in the year when visiting... more

This hotel is situated north-west of the centre of Elgin. Built in the 50s/60s it is very out of character with the area. The public rooms and the rooms are very furnished with very dark materials with low lighting making for a heavy atmosphere. Bed was adequate and comfortable. Room was cramped for 2, bathroom was 'old fashioned' - in... more

I ve been in Elgin a few times and this is the only hotel that cannot be faulted. Perfect service at the Bar/Restaurant, very friendly young girl at the reception and the room was spotless. Food excellent! Got a good deal at the Crerar website for a 2 night stay. And the leisure club is a must! Plent of parking... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for one night DBB (long story but we had booked at another Crerar Hotel were not happy with it and transferred to the Eight Acres for our second night stay). The hotel does not look much from the outside but has a nice modern bar / lounge / dining room area with... more

Unfortunately we didn't manage to stay here because there was a problem with our booking. We had booked a deal with Superbreaks but the hotel hadn't received our booking and was completely full when we arrived. They checked for no-shows to their other rooms but they had absolutely nothing left. We arrived after 6pm complete with puppy and had arranged... more

If I'd been passing this hotel looking for somewhere to stay for a night I would have kept driving. It's not the most attactive building, the very opposite in fact and the "H" of "Hotel" that was on the wall was hanging off at a quirky angle. However, once inside it was much nicer. Friendly, helpful staff, comfortable, clean and... more

Stayed at this hotel for two nights last weekend and I have to say that it has drastically improved since my last stay in 2003. Arrived on Friday and got a very cheerful welcome. We had booked online and got better rates than the negotiated rates that our group leader had managed to secure so we were very happy. The... more

Thank you for taking the time to review your latest stay with us at the Eight Acres, I'm glad you approve of our refurbishment and my apologies that our breakfast buffet was cold as we should be table service as we don't have the right equipment for that type of breakfast style. The hotel went under the knife early 2008...

We spent 2 nights in this hotel and would say that it is hard to fault. The welcome was warm and friendly, the room was fresh and clean and all of the staff were very helpful and efficient. The food is worth an extra mention, as it was served fresh, hot and was well presented. The table d'hote menu offered... more

I recently visited the hotel at the end of the Easter weekend. And although it has to be said from the outside the hotel let us down, once we stepped inside we were pleasently surprised. Reception was nice and quiet and staff were very pleasant and efficient - infact having learnt that the lady who was working reception had only... more
