Ben Lawers Hotel, Lawers

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. While the rooms were small, they were immaculately clean and had an excellent shower. However, the decor felt a bit outdated and in need of some attention. The service was top-notch, with staff ensuring hand sanitizer usage and going out of their way to help, although there were some areas that could be improved. The location was perfect, with a lovely welcome and close proximity to nearby attractions. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a substantial breakfast choice. It's a fantastic little establishment that I would definitely consider returning to regularly.

The room was above the bar and the music was on Saturday night, which made it very noisy. It was out of an already small room, next to the road, and I could hear all the noise from downstairs. However, it was fairly small but accurately described as a compact double, which made it lower-priced than other rooms.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were lovely and clean, providing a comfortable bed, but they felt a bit outdated and in need of some maintenance. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff going out of their way to help while others seemed unfriendly. The location was excellent for outdoor activities and exploring the area, but it required a bit of driving. The dining experience was a hit or miss, with some tasty options but also lacking variety. The facilities were sufficient but nothing extraordinary.
