The atmosphere was buzzy and busy every night. Room on 4th floor was small but clean and not the expected twin room. When we rang... More

“Bad experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

Spent one night for a wedding, staying alone I had to pay extra which is standard but for the price I paid I expected a room I could use for its purpose. I found out later that some of the wedding party paid £92 for two people and I paid £122 for one person. The morning after the wedding I... More

My husband and I are just back from a 5pm DBB deal. Hotel looks impressive on arrival, room small but clean and bathroom decent size. There were not bathrobes or slippers in our room - would have thought for a 4 star hotel they would have been provided. Dinner was ok. Menu choice not the best for the deal we... More

Dear dopey45 Thank you for taking the time to review DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro Hotel. The headline you have used in your review was alarming when I first read it I must admit. However when you take the meal experience in its own right, the rest of your hotel stay is rated reasonably well and so the headline is... More

“Very Good Altogether......”

First impressions upon our arrival at this hotel were very good. The sweeping driveway up the hill affords an excellent view of the front of the building which is very grand and impressive. Parking at the front is limited, although there is ample parking to the side and at the rear, with just a short walk back to the main... More

From the bottom of the long winding drive rising through the grounds, the Doubletree by Hilton Dunblane-Hydro hotel sits high above this affluent Perthshire Cathedral town. From the front rooms of this large hotel, set in ten acres of grounds, the main hotel building is a large, impressive Victorian building with public areas to match. The reception area, public rooms,... More
