Royal Dunkeld Hotel

Great staff, meals were good as well with great parking

The hotel was conveniently located and clean. It was not easy to find staff to check in or get room supplies. The room was clean, but spare. No towel rack, no tissue, no pictures on walls. Lacked appeal. Seemed like a dorm room. Breakfast choices were plentiful and well prepared. Pub was cozy and convenient. Pub and dining staff were friendly and helpful.

Booked the annexe, on arriving looked pretty grim, but inside was clean and welcoming, we got upgraded to the main hotel due to an error on room allocation. The staff were all friendly, pleasant and the hotel was clean. It is in need of some upgrading, improvments, but for the price we paid it was worth it. The restaurant was clean, space between tables, the food was okay, we only ate in one night. We enjoyed a game of pool. Overall we would go back, nice and central.

Old hotel, but charming. Has a lovely little bar and is in an excellent location for shops and restaurants.

Property was run down. Room was comfortable but toilet did not flush, the seal on the shower was broken and the curtains did not cover the window. When we asked the noisy Halloween disco if they could go ish the music they insisted on continuing until after midnight even though there was nobody there.

We had a very nice stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, beds comfy, and breakfast was nicely cooked. We enjoyed the pool table and darts in the bar area.

Friendly staff, good value, nice bar. Overall a lovely stay

Looks like it is being done up at present. Rooms not well sound proofed. Lounge would benefit from some cushions and table lamps to make it cosier.

Hotel car park was full, street parking occupied. Dead spiders and flies Linen was clean Shower was very poor Bed was comfy I have stayed in much cleaner establishments for significantly cheaper

Beadspread covered in dog hair. Only one small light working in the bathroom. No hot water for the whole hotel for our first night there. Noisy road outside, no double glazing in room, so very restless night. Carpets throughout hotel looking very tired and tatty. Not sufficient parking on premises. Really can't recommend this hotel, especially considering the rate per night.

Stayed here for one night and would not return again. The public areas and bar were dirty with threadbare carpet on the stairs. The electric cables from tv and sound system in bar was a complete mess. All twisted and plugged into adapter on floor. Our room wasn’t the best and the cushions on the bed were soiled and dirty. We couldn’t find the light switch for the bathroom but figured out it was behind the wall mounted tv!!! Didn’t use the shower as it didn’t look appealing. We had a look in the function room and it looked like the people had just gone as the tables were littered with glasses and half finished drinks from a function five days earlier. We left without having breakfast and safe to say we won’t be returning

I had a lovely time here. The room was clean, and for a Saturday evening it was quiet . It is an older building but I love the charm. I also love the coffee and tea in room amenities. The front desk reception was easy and very kind service. Would recommend this place.

The hotel was filthy, carpets worn. No hot water so had to have a cold shower. Water stains on bedroom ceiling. Overall a very unpleasant stay.

The property is centered in town so ww could walk around - charming town. The staff in the pub was very nice. The food was fine. The rooms were not very clean - there was a dirty plate with dried food left on top of the cabinet in our room.

The Hotel That Time Forgot (and Hygiene Ignored) This place is straight out of nightmares. We paid £155 for one night because it was in a convenient location, and the photos on Expedia looked decent enough. I wasn’t expecting The Ritz, but I was expecting the bare minimum: a clean towel, a clean room, and some hot water. What we got instead was a stained towel, a filthy bathroom, no hot water in the room, and the kind of “decor” that screams, “we gave up in 1983.” The bed? Imagine lying on a scrapyard dressed in bedsheets. The frame creaked if you so much as breathed near it, and the mattress springs are now a permanent part of my trauma. This bed should have been humanely retired during the 1970s—possibly burned, just to be safe. We didn’t bother trying the bar or food, partly because the bar was a ghost town—completely empty except for a blaring TV showing bargain-bin daytime television. Honestly, the empty chairs looked like they’d given up on life too. For £155, this wasn’t just disappointing—it was daylight robbery with a side of mildew. Do yourself a favour: stay literally anywhere else. Even sleeping in your car would be a more comfortable and hygienic option.

The hotel room was dirty and dusty, with curtains hanging off the rail. Room was cramped with bathroom only 2 steps from bed. Toilet was dirty and shower had black mould on bottom and round ill-fitting door. Rest of the hotel was dated and dirty. We paid for 2 nights but left after one, cancelling breakfast also as we decided hygiene may be an issue in the kitchen, if rest of hotel was the standard. Receptionist was pleasant enough but didn't ask why we were leaving early. We've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and don't mind dated decor etc but the red line is cleanliness. The hotel is damaging Dunkeld's reputation as a charming, friendly little town. Melville Hotels need to have a good look at themselves.

Towels were dirty / stained. Shower was awful, weak and cold. Bed was short.

The staff were friendly but the room was not clean or comfortable. It was very small. The bedding was acceptable but the windows were dirty and there were marks on the walls.

Filthy place

Good nice room with very comfortable beds.

Nice room, very spacious. Had to get clean towels, and the shower water pressure left a lot to be desired but i expected that being up on the top floor. The hotel is well placed if you want to grab a bite to eat, go for a drink or a wee wander. Left a jacket in the room and struggled to get through to reception on the phone the next day but got there in the end! The staff were all really friendly and the barman had excellent chat! Overall a great stay!

Cheap and local to what we wanted, however we were in the annexe. Difficult to get too no good lighting and rough ground with over grown plants. Room was well apportioned and bedding clean however room was in a state of neglect. Wall paper stained damp, bathroom not clean, hair in shower tray, carpet stained, dirty marks on walls door frames and behind toilet. Rooms noisy. Wouldn’t return due to this and put us off having breakfast.

The hotel could do with a bit of an update. The shower tray was not great with a fixed head that only wanted to clean the wall opposite. The bed was squeaky and the lighting was a bit brutal. The location is excellent though.

The heat didn't work in Unit 202. On the second day the lovely receptionist gave me a space heater. She was great, the best. The two regulars in the bar area were awful. They were looking for fights. Big disappointment. Great location and clean. Internet worked great. Overall a nice stay.

The room was fine, but very small. We were in the annex outback. The staff was not very accommodating.

Property in grave need of a good clean and maintenance both inside and out. Pervasive smell of greasy food inside hotel. Breakfast was poor quality. Outside lodge rooms like garden sheds, dark access unmade paths weeds. etc. Door to electric cupboard hanging off hinges. To be fair interior of lodge room was clean, but cramped. Bathroom was 1.5m square. No toilet brush provided.

Property was run down. Room was comfortable but toilet did not flush, the seal on the shower was broken and the curtains did not cover the window. When we asked the noisy Halloween disco if they could go ish the music they insisted on continuing until after midnight even though there was nobody there.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Older hotel but comfy and welcoming.

Given wrong room number at check in which was already occupied. Dirty room, coridors poorly lit, mould on ceiling, staff inattentive to needs, creaky floors, only stayed one night out of desperation. Avoid at all costs.

Lovely staff but hotel needs some investment

Basic but clean and warm. Staffing was very thin on the ground in the morning although the unsupervised breakfast was fresh. Nobody was around take payment!

Friendly staff, with a new manager who spent time with us at check-in and made us feel very welcome.

3 rooms booked for myself, sons and partners - in annexe ok for price. Small but ok. No 557 radiator won’t turn down so window had to be open & cistern loud for too long after flush HOWEVER ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED AT YOUR STAFF FOR I FEEL TRYING TO SCAM US INTO PAYING FOR BREAKFAST WHEN ALREADY PAID FOR via Hotels.com. I woke 0830, checked all room info ie what time breakfast etc Nothing looked at website- no info - then spotted FB advertising breakfast 8-12. At 1020 we all went into main building when this person wearing black hoody asked if he could help. I said in for breakfast and he said oh we have a policy - residents have to eat before 10am otherwise they have to pay. I pointed out no where does it advise us of that in the room, nobody said at check in and he said I know I’ve fed this back etc. I said we’d paid for breakfast so going to have it. Breakfast room empty. went in and a very nice gentleman who def looked like he worked there came and took room numbers took our keys and order. The other person came in only once our food being set on table to say can we come to some agreement.. I couldn’t believe his attitude. When I said unacceptable he said ‘only compromise you’ll do - is not pay ‘ we already had - also asked if we’d been in b4 10am was it the same breakfast- yes . The way he spoke to us was disgusting and he ended up walking out shouting ‘ this is a joke man’and he was staff ! I’m disgusted and will make complaint

Everything was fine, except the cleaner unlocked our door half an hour before checkout and told us to hurry because the new guests had arrived, when obviously he just wanted to finish up early or something.Massive breach of privacy imo. Breakfast was nice, some fruit available would be good though.

Shower dripped all night very run down and extremely rude handyman at checkout

Plenty to explore good for walks etc very friendly people x we ate out which was fantastic food x

Hotel in lovely location on Dunkeld Main Street. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice room. However the place needs some TLC with worn / uneven carpets, windows and cupboards in communal areas needing repair. Dunkeld is a very nice place. Plenty of lovely cafes and restaurants nearby and lovely walking both along the river from the town and further afield to Loch of the Lowes and The Hermitage (NTS).

Was great for a one night stop over en route. Beautiful countryside access. Hotel old, well used but quaint and functional. Staff helpful.

The hotel is in a great , central location. Although the hotel is a bit tired, the staff were really welcoming and lovely and the service excellent. We would definitely return

We were in the Annexe which we hadn’t realised despite it saying in the email confirmation. This likened a chalet/scouts hut and was very compact but comfortable. The general hotel is needing an upgrade but for attending a local wedding it served a purpose. Toilet locks in main bar/restaurant are very patchy and things are just needing replaced. Breakfast was good but the guy running breakfast was under pressure. All in all it was functional but wouldn’t recommend for a tourism stay.

Great staff, meals were good as well with great parking

Had a nice 2 night break staying in the annexe - very compact but comfortable! Great friendly service! Breakfast offering poor compared to lower started hotels - just one sausage and one bit of bacon! Also no pastries fruit or yogurts available! Overall a very nice stay in a lovely little village that we visit often due to the local path network!

The accommodation I thought I booked was for two twin rooms in the hotel, but what got was two very small twin rooms in chalets out the back. The chalets looked like large shed which had been thrown up and the area surrounding the building was pretty grubby, with weeds all round, water dripping from the gutters, the windows weren’t very clean, the paving surface area into the respective rooms was very poor. Cracked, broken surface, just basically not very nice or inviting. The food and service in the hotel was good, but at breakfast time there was no hot water in the urn to make tea or coffee. The urn was on but no water coming out as it had run down so low and obviously hadn’t been filled up, either first thing or the previous evening.

Stayed one night for a work's do, just the ticket. Could do with a bit of refurbishment, but the staff were great and the breakfast was wonderful. Would stay again.
