What guests think

Killin Hotel draws travellers for its scenic riverside setting and friendly, helpful staff, while the characterful old building offers a cosy bar and popular dinners, though breakfasts are mixed and restaurant reservations can be difficult without advance booking.

Rooms vary: many are comfortable with river views, but some are small or attic-style with skylights, thin walls, creaky floors, firm beds, and occasional heat or ventilation issues. Several reviews report intermittent hot water and heating problems, small showers, worn public carpets, and occasional housekeeping lapses. Parking can be tricky, and the vintage lift reflects the building’s age. Expect a scenic, characterful stay if you plan ahead for meals and choose room types carefully.

What we liked was the food, the comfort and the staff. The dining room was clean and comfortable as was the bar area. Our room was clean and comfortable. We didn’t like that the carpet in public areas, except the bar area, was old, stained and needs replacing. The lift is antiquated. But there was nothing that would put us off from staying again.

Best curry I’ve ever had. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. Great locations and really easily accessible. Parking is a little tricky as it’s a very popular venue and I can see why. Food is incredible. Thanks for a fantastic stay.. I’ll be back next year! Thank you!

Lovely relaxing few days away, staff are always so friendly and always asking if we needed anything. The thing we love about this hotel is how dog friendly they are, dogs are welcome everywhere apart from the dining room but they have a lounge area set up with tables for dinner where the dogs are allowed in. There was a little dog bed and a small bowl in the room with a few dog biscuits. Food was amazing as usual. We will def be back again 😀

They were short staffed so the check in process took a long time. The parking space is not very large so finding parking was tricky but doable. The location was beautiful and overall clean and comfortable.

Clean and tidy although a little tired. Well situated for walks. Friendly helpful staff who would benefit from some more training. Food was good on most nights, but there are no light bites at the bar. More choice on the menu would be appreciated when staying for more than a couple of days. Our biggest complaint is that there's no hot water before 7.30 am when the boiler fires up and NO it's not acceptable to wash shave and shower in lukewarm water

Killin Hotel was a nice place to stay. In a most stunning location. Just the fact you have to book a table to eat was a problem. I booked the room at 5 in the afternoon. When I got there at 6 I was told I couldn't eat because I hadn't booked a table. Then asked if I could eat food in my room instead and was told No. They did eventually make a plan For me wich I appreciated. I understand the hotel restaurant serves the locals and outside visitors aswell. But I would suggest keeping some tables open for late check ins. Also restaurant only had 2 staff serving bar and tables. Guests were queing at the bar only to be ignored by the staff behind the bar pouring drinks for table guests. They could work on there customer service. Just a smile and ill be with you in a moment would have been better than been unacknowledged and ignored. Other than that the room was very comfortable and house keeping do a great job at keeping them clean. Thank you for having me. Hope next time food and drinks service will be better.

Overnight stay en route home. Room was well presented, clean and tidy. Three spoilers, 1 stairs and landings looked as though they hadn’t been cleaned for weeks. 2 Fire alarm (false alarm) went off at 00.20 and other guest said this was a regular occurrence. 3 No hot water in bathroom no matter how long I let the tap run. Food and service were excellent.

We were travelling as a couple with our adult daughter. The location is fabulous. The room was lovely but there was only two cups and two glasses despite booking for three, and no teaspoon. The sofa bed my daughter slep on was great however the main bed was not very comfortable and offered no support. The room was also unbearably hot overnight. We booked for breakfast which was on the whole very tasty however they had run out of tomatoes, my daughter and me had about a tablespoon of baked beans, my husband got none and I only had a half a rasher of bacon so I get the impression tomatoes weren't the only thing in short supply this morning.

Great location. All staff we interacted with were friendly and so helpful. The person on reception seamed to be doing the job of 3 people when we arrived, but she was still so lovely and couldnt do enough for us. We stayed in the annex family room with our 8 month old as we thought that would help with noise. Unfortunately every floorboard creaked, the bed was incredibly squeaky, and the bathroom door needed a lot of WD40. Worth keeping in mind if travelling with a baby. Could do with a little refresh but was clean nonetheless.

Lovely outlook by the river in a small village. Attentive staff . Good food . Had a single room which had no window- only a skylight. No ventilation - room very stuffy. Bathroom lovely decor but shower cubicle very small . A larger person(I’m a size 10) would struggle to close the cubicle door.However enjoyed my stay apart from that .

We had booked a room with two twin beds, but upon arrival we were given a room with one double bed. We ask the receptionist if the room could be reconfigured and she said it would be fixed by housekeeping right away. We returned from our evening out at 10pm to find the room had not been reconfigured. We called the front desk with no answer. We asked at the bar looking for someone to help and eventually a staff member emerged from the bar and offered us another room on a different floor so we had to pack up and move rooms. Inconvenient and disappointing. Would otherwise have been a pleasant stay.
