Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled in beautiful Killin, making it a great base to explore the surrounding attractions. The rooms are comfortable but hearing movements from nearby can be a drawback. The service is friendly and accommodating, even though the lack of additional offerings is noticeable. The location is ideal for accessing the amenities of Killin and exploring nearby areas. Dining could use some improvement in terms of timing and presentation. Overall, a convenient choice with some room for enhancement.
The Killin Hotel offers a friendly and efficient service with a fantastic location for exploring the central highlands and enjoying the surrounding hills. The rooms in the ground floor building were functional but lacked natural light compared to the main building, which is rich in history and charm.
I stayed at this hotel, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The rooms had an en-suite and a TV but needed a blind for privacy. The reception area could use a freshen up. The top-floor room was very small and not as advertised in the adverts or on the TV in the reception area.
The hotel rooms looked lovely, but unfortunately, my stay was marred by uncleanness. The shower showed signs of mold, the room had dust in multiple places, the bedsheet did not fit properly, broken bottles lay outside the window, and the guttering needed maintenance as it dripped during rain. Despite these issues, the hotel's location above the bar and lounge was of a Travelodge standard.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was ideal for exploring the surrounding area, with friendly staff making it a pleasant experience. However, the room had some issues that affected my comfort, and the dining experience left something to be desired.
