We enjoyed our stay at the Pitlochry Hydro hotel. The location is great for walking into the town centre, 10 mins downhill, a bit longer coming back uphill. The staff were polite and helpful and the buffet breakfast was very good. We didn’t have dinner in the hotel but we did enjoy a few drinks at the bar and coffees in the large and comfy lounge areas. Although some parts of the hotel were looking a bit tired this didn’t spoil our experience and the swimming pool was a nice bonus.

The Pitlochry Hydro is comfortable but dated. This is an old building so expect uneven floors and doors that don’t fit properly. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We made good use of the leisure facilities on arrival. Nice pool, not too busy and the jacuzzi and steam room were good too. The showers in the ladies changing rooms have no water pressure. We had dinner in the bar, basic burgers and fries but fine for us. The room was comfortable, we didn’t like the double bed which was two singles zipped together. Warm and cosy. No view but we could open the window which we needed to do. Unfortunately some of the other guests were smoking something quite fragrant and it came down the corridor and into our bedroom. Mainly as there was a very large gap under the door. I did speak with the night porter and the receptionist on check out and highlighted the issue. Such a shame as it spoils it for everyone else trying to enjoy their stay!

Perfect get away.
Lovely friendly hotel, perfect for the weekend break or longer. Rooms are large and a wee bit chilly but delighted to see a spare heater for the room which solved the problem. Good sized swimming pool. Will be back.

Say hi to Zoltan...
We were in Pitlochry to attend "The sound of music" at The festival theatre. We found the hotel to be good value for money, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will stay again when back in Pitlochry. Allan and Fiona.

The Hydro has changed since the last time we were there. It looks tired, decor needs freshened up. Breakfast was good but had a pizza on our first night and wasn't the best. The staff were very nice but unfortunately we would not stay here again.

Staff were friendly. Lovely setting and hotel public areas clean and look very comfortable. Unfortunately too cold to relax in any of them. Ate our first night food was piping hot . Macaroni was creamy but not enough cheese. Breakfast was good . Sauna wasn’t working properly had saw that on a previous review and it is still the same. Pool was fine. Room was fine and have to say definitely good value. Unfortunately we wouldn’t stay again simply because of the cold . Visited a few other hotels in the area all of which had a warm comfortable atmosphere.what is needed for a relaxing break.

Nice hotel although needing a bit of investment. Staff very pleasant and we enjoyed our meals in the hotel. Bar menu as well as a la carte. Nice pool and jacuzzi, steam room and small gym. Shower pressure in leisure club very poor but otherwise everything good for a short stay. Hotel has a picturesque location overlooking the town. Short walk into town although there is quite a hill.

Our 3rd stay here. It is convenient, comfortable and staff very friendly. Little blip this time though as bedside lights weren't fixed when we reported it and not during our stay. Bed was great but could be comfier with a matress topper perhaps? Just suggestions really and it wont deter us from staying there again.
