Hotel Dengan spa di Perth and Kinross, United Kingdom

I am extremely disappointed with our recent stay at the Atholl Palace Hotel. We had booked and paid for a valley view room with a king-size bed for a special two-night stay. Our first room (215) was exactly what we had expected, until the toilet stopped flushing on the second evening, making the bathroom unusable. After reporting the fault, we were told to pack all of our belongings and come to reception to be allocated another room. By this point it was late in the evening and we were ready for bed. We were then moved to a noticeably inferior room, with no valley view, a smaller bed, no bath and overall nowhere near the standard of the room we had paid for. To make matters worse, the toilet in the replacement room also appeared to have drainage problems, gurgling and filling to the rim when flushed. I then returned to reception, only to find it unattended, eventually locating the night porter who did his best to help despite clearly being left to deal with a difficult situation. He eventually got us relocated in a suitable room but the evening was ruined by then.  The most disappointing part has been the complete lack of customer service afterwards. My wife emailed both the hotel and the manager directly to raise our concerns and give them the opportunity to resolve the matter privately. Despite this, we have received no acknowledgement or response whatsoever. Maintenance issues can happen in any hotel. What matters is how they are handled. Unfortunately, being moved to a lower-grade room, having further maintenance issues, and then being completely ignored afterwards has left us feeling that customer satisfaction simply isn’t a priority. We expected much better from a hotel with Atholl Palace’s reputation and cannot recommend it based on our experience. “We would still welcome the opportunity for the hotel to contact us and resolve this matter.”

This venue is really a hidden gem up to a point , the Chef and kitchen ( paticularly the Haddock and Poached Eggs at Breakfast which is Michelin Star level ) the spa and swimming pool are kept to a good standard of hygene , however there is a serious problem with service which is evident from the staff behind the bar ( Saturday 4th May to be specific ) where it was plainly evident for all of the guests seated in the lounge to witness the grief that was being given to the Restaurant Host and other waiting staff by the two individulas behind the bar who were making their life's a misery by poor attitude and unhelpfulness when rightfully they were chasing restaurant drink orders which were painfully slow on deliverance attributed totally to the ineptness of the bar staff . Its about time that Providence Hotels boss Mr Neil Hughes and Blantyre Capital and Fairtree Alternative Real Estate were made aware of this as it is not fair on the efforts made by the other staff who are being dragged down needlessly by the bar staffs under performance , ineptness and demeanour .

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, divided into upper and lower floors, with a large balcony where you can dine on the balcony table! It has its own parking space, which is convenient for parking. The lawn is very large, suitable for parents and children to hang out! The location is a bit remote, but the overall environment is very good👍

We enjoyed our stayed as a family but the service and food in the buffet style restaurant at night was very poor as food was cold and we were finished eating before we received our drinks. We eventually managed to speak to a manager about it. However, we have stayed before and ate in other restaurants and they were good. Upgrades to winter garden bar were nice but again service for drinks very slow. Overall a 6.5/10 stay.

On arrival we were allocated a very small, went back to reception and this was sorted. My gripe is the now £10.00 per day parking charge. However you can park elsewhere for free. This will now make choosing the Angus hotel as not a first option as the main reason for going is the spa facilities unfortunately they are now getting tired and in need of TLC as is the hotel.

Nice hotel in a great location. With good sized and clean rooms. The bar meals in the evening can be busy and they weren't able to accomodate for one night. Also, breakfast starts quite late at 8 am, so can be very busy a hectic when it does begin. A 7 am breakfast start would ease that and be helpful for business travellers and walkers with an early start.

This was our first visit and it definitely won’t be our last. Everything about our one night stay was perfect. The castle room was so comfortable, the spa was a delight and the Sandeman restaurant was a treat. The staff were beyond helpful and the surroundings were breathtaking. A very special stay in a special hotel.

The hotel is great, the service facilities are superb, the super five stars, the scenery is also very good, but the location is really hearty, no matter which way to the road conditions can scare you not to continue to open

Castle Hotel! Great experience
