Eight Acres Hotel & Spa

I've stayed at the Eight Acres many times over the years and it has always been a busy and vibrant hotel, but this time it was virtually deserted. Given the absence of guests there were fewer staff on duty. The staff were polite and helpful, but the whole place felt empty. Neither the gym nor the pool was available during my stay.

Hotel muito bom, não tem elevadores o que dificulta o acesso aos andares com as malas.

This review is fairly irrelevant as it closed for good a few days after we left. I felt sorry for the staff as they were given very little notice. The bar and restaurant were closed during my stay but they did honour the breakfasts that we booked

Not so good overnight business stay. Booked primarily due to leisure facilities. Upon arrival they weren't available in over a year, but still been advertised on booking sites as a feature (plus over other hotels in the area). Rooms walls were paper thin, no dinner service in restaurant. Only breakfast. One plus, staff at reception was super friendly and helpful, was happy to change my room on request.

The hotel has reopened but the leisure facilities hasn’t reopened and there is no restaurant available in the evening.

Very disappointed I booked the room because of the pool & spa to be told on arrival that it was closed

We had a fantastic stay at Eight Acres Hotel and were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room had been recently refurbished, and it was fresh and comfortable with modern touches like faux leather headboards a mirror frame. There were plenty of sockets, which was really convenient for charging devices, although none had USB ports, so remember your plugs. We also enjoyed the tea, coffee, and hot chocolate facilities and especially the shortbread biscuits. The shower was powerful and hot, perfect for a refreshing start to the day. Breakfast was another highlight, with a delicious full Scottish breakfast featuring black pudding and tattie scone. There is currently no catering facilities, (or pool/gym/spa), at the hotel other than breakfast, but there’s a bus stop just outside the hotel and it took us 5 mins into the centre of Elgin. We didn’t want to drive as we wanted a drink with our meal. Overall, our experience was great. With good hospitality, comfortable rooms, and a decent breakfast.

We're rather disappointed on arrival as the pool was closed as was the restaurant. But were able to walk into town and get meal. Breakfast was excellent and the room comfortable. Most importantly the staff were superb and very helpful. We had a fire alarm on the first night and they responded superbly. Calm and organised and so reassuring. Liaised with fire brigade and the police so that all was calm. The fire was a bin set alight with a cigarette stub. The hotel is about to close for renovations and should be good when done. Well sited and a good centre for the whole area with easy parking a good grounds.

This was a last minute booking due to a change of plan with my wife having breaking her leg in the local area! Check in staff were excellent, no lift in the hotel though which was an issue with a broken leg and the check out staff were absent so we had to leave and pay later over the phone!

I booked hotel with filters which i needed. This was a pool, gym and restaurant. The hotel you recommended and i booked had neither. Feel extremely disappointed and ripped off as wouldnt have booked. I use hotels.com a lot and would like a refund or credit into my account.

To be honest it felt like demolition was not far away, the whole place was in poor condition, we had two rooms with no hot water and one shower that did not work at all. It was very expensive for what it was- the bar did not even have any beer - do not stay here

Our stay was amazing. Lovely staff, everyone smiling and friendly. The room was very spacious and clean and in good condition. Breakfast was cooked to order. We stayed with our dog and she loved it too

The property has been upgraded to a good standard negitive no bedside lamps in the room

Comfortable clean room. Excellent and friendly service. Good food and menu in restaurant. Breakfast very good as well.

Staff were excellent in the sense that they found me another room. Fact is that the place is dated, unfit for purpose and nothing like the images. Walls were so thin that I could hear every word of next doors conversation as if they were talking to me from the next room. It’s obviously been decorated but it’s the equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig. Never again

On arrival, The member of staff at reception was lovely, Accommodation was fine, Room was clean and a lovely shower in the morning, Breakfast was good and staff member was very helpful.

Booked this hotel for location close to hospital. Ideal and close enough to walk. Booked a small double room which was sufficient for our purpose. The bathroom was compact but had a good shower and constant hot water. The breakfast each day was excellent and when there weren’t many guests, it was cooked to order. Very fresh good quality food and sufficient choice. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Just necessary overnight stay. All i want is, a great nights sleep, great food, clean hotel, with attentive friendly staff. A hotel i will use again if in the area. A winner on all accounts.

Very tired rooms, mattress was pretty bad, smallest TV I've had in a hotel. All draft lagers were off. (no gas!!) Wonder if they are struggling to survive. On the plus side, breakfast and staff were very good.

Walls are super thin - I could hear absolutely everything what's happening in the room next to me. Apart from that all great

Seems like they are short on staff. Staff that were there were friendly. Breakfast was good. Room had all basic needs but no bedside lights.

Loved the stay but the noise from neighbours was loud had to tell them

Very accommodating and friendly staff which made a good stay very good. Special shout out to Michelle and Brian

A very friendly and helpful front desk staff, made my check in a lot easier. She took the order for dinner and as well, great service from her.

Gym was good and my room was nice. Breakfast was terrible. Waitress did not know difference between smoked salmon and haddock. Food was very disappointing.
