Having stayed in the Craigendarroch many years ago, i was slightly disappointed in how tired-looking it was. Its a beautiful building in a beautiful location and deserves a freshen up. We stayed in a suite for 3 nights for our wedding, and the suite itself was lovely, though i feel the cleaners could have been a bit more thorough. The... more

We had been trying to go to Craigendarroch for years and on the spur of the moment decided to go to the hotel for a weekend - we'll not go back and are so disappointed. First of all when we arrived our room was freezing - the heater wasn't on. Asked at reception and was told heating would come on... more

Think that sums up our stay at the Hilton Craigendarroch. We stayed here for our friends 30th Birthday, all staff were very attentive at all hours of the day and night offering us help and advice where needed to enjoy our stay to the max. We ate in both restaurants which we enjoyed both thoroughly, the clubhouse restaurant I would... more

Stayed for a week end away from the children. After reading some of the reviews we did have some concerns, however we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The location was wonderful, the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, the food is to be highly recommended and the suite we stayed in was very comfortable and as... more

I've stayed on several occaisons with my partner, we both love the area and find the hotel in a prime location for our outtings. The mouth watering dishes in the oaks restaurant combined with the fine service from the greek waiter always surprise us, we believe the more the chef cooks the better he gets! I am also impressed this... more

My husband and I stayed here 12 years ago when it was a Stakis hotel. How times have changed! We upgraded to a 'deluxe room' and could not believe the state of it. The bathroom was archaic. When did you last see a yellow bathroom suite in a 4 star hotel with a very fetching white toilet seat? There was... more

Spent a night but found hotel shabby. Wardrobe door came off in my hand. Bathroom very shabby & found room noisy with generator going outside. Definitely in need of money being spent on it. At breakfast the chef was grumpy & harrassed & coffee in the leisure complex was very slow to come. more

The hotel location is ideal if you want beautiful scenery and peace and quiet. There are a variety of different walks in and around Ballater to suit everyone (the local Tourist Information Centre has a handy pocket map which will cost £1), or if you feel like going further afield in the car, you'll see more of the beautiful mountain... more
