Overpriced and dated

We booked a night to stay at a castle during our trip to Scotland. We were placed in a room on the main floor which was towards the end of a hallway. The room was very musty of which the stench stuck to our clothes even after we left. For the amount we paid, we expected a bit more. The breakfast was better than expected and the staff in the breakfast area were very friendly.

Turret suite

Really enjoyed our two-night stay in one of the turret suites. The hotel was still beautifully decorated for Christmas but very peaceful being a few days after Hogmanay. Overall condition of the building is excellent, especially given its age and historic nature, which must make it a real challenge to maintain. Our room, bathroom and the turret lounge above were very clean and well presented. Excellent comfy super-king bed. Public rooms were lovely - warm and welcoming. Swimming pool area was very clean and a pleasure to use.

Stunning surroundings and delighted to see rooms had been upgraded since our last stay . Dress code needed for breakfast for some as people in pj s and sliders ! Not in keeping with a 4 star hotel. The Australian bar man “Rory” I think, was excellent and welcoming .

Room 136 was located above a pub with very loud live music. It kept us awake until midnight and completely ruined our stay. Can't believe we paid £175 for this experience. Will Hotels.com give us a refund?

The hotel was grand from the outside and was beautiful in the snow. Inside was a bit chilly even though they had several, lovely open fires in the main foyet. The carpeted wall lift was small but effective, but was busy at times. Breakfast was hearty and plentiful, but most of the staff in the hotel looked miserable half the time. Our room looked like it had been chopped from a previous larger room, in two, and was very grey, with little thought for interior design. The bathroom was also small with no window and the water pressure in the shower was reduced. There was a bath but u needed to be a munchkin to really enjoy it! The views from our room were stunning but the single glazing allowed the chill in, even though the radiator was on full blast. We wouldn't stay again. Sorry

The hotel was really nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The cleanliness of some areas was not good, this includes cobwebs. The bar menu was good, a bit pricey but it is expected. The Al a cart menu on the other hand was very disappointing, no imagination when it can to the menu and very limited. The breakfast buffet was great. My partner and I had a good time though.

Not worth it😟

Unfortunately we were not impressed with anything on the inside of this property. The location and the outside was stunning. But lacking in so much on the inside. No service to help with luggage, so much was outdated. I'm good with antique and keeping with the style being a palace but that is not what this place looks like. Looks a bit sheaply designed if you could say designed. The restaurant and food was mediocre at best. We sad with everything. Will it be returning.

We liked the hotel, the spa and the room. We had an issue with 1 meal which was refunded by the duty manager. After returning home I wrote to the Manager to explain my views on what we were served and a few issues with the bathroom. After 2 weeks, in his ignorance he has yet to acknowledge my email. We will not be recommending or returning to the Atholl Palace.

Bit disappointing and underwhelming for the price

Underwhelming for a £250 per night B&B rate. Lovely looking hotel and gardens but room was tired and dated for this price. Small, tired bathroom. Service was bang average again for the price and although staff ok, they could have made a bit more effort considering the price we were being charged. If I had paid £100 for room I probably would have been happier with things. Not the cleanest place with windows and mirrors dirty around hotel. Breakfast was cold and serving filtered coffee - no excuse for not having a decent self serve coffee machine these days. Our room was hotter than the sauna in the spa area and we had to keep the windows open. All a bit disappointing really.
