I had a lovely time here. The room was clean, and for a Saturday evening it was quiet . It is an older building but I love the charm. I also love the coffee and tea in room amenities. The front desk reception was easy and very kind service. Would recommend this place.

The Royal Dunkeld Hotel wins hands down for the helpfulness and kindness of its staff. There are choices in stunning Dunkeld but the service here has been outstanding. I have been upgraded, offered a function room for a meeting, and have extended my stay here because of it.

the staff were friendly, but the room was very basic, the gutter outside the door needed maintenance which caused water to pour out during the night, keeping us awake. Lovely location, but the annex rooms need a lot more love.

No frills, but clean and comfy hotel.

We had a very nice stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, beds comfy, and breakfast was nicely cooked. We enjoyed the pool table and darts in the bar area.

Not Rushing Back

The hotel room was dirty and dusty, with curtains hanging off the rail. Room was cramped with bathroom only 2 steps from bed. Toilet was dirty and shower had black mould on bottom and round ill-fitting door. Rest of the hotel was dated and dirty. We paid for 2 nights but left after one, cancelling breakfast also as we decided hygiene may be an issue in the kitchen, if rest of hotel was the standard. Receptionist was pleasant enough but didn't ask why we were leaving early. We've stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and don't mind dated decor etc but the red line is cleanliness. The hotel is damaging Dunkeld's reputation as a charming, friendly little town. Melville Hotels need to have a good look at themselves.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed here for one night and would not return again. The public areas and bar were dirty with threadbare carpet on the stairs. The electric cables from tv and sound system in bar was a complete mess. All twisted and plugged into adapter on floor. Our room wasn’t the best and the cushions on the bed were soiled and dirty. We couldn’t find the light switch for the bathroom but figured out it was behind the wall mounted tv!!! Didn’t use the shower as it didn’t look appealing. We had a look in the function room and it looked like the people had just gone as the tables were littered with glasses and half finished drinks from a function five days earlier. We left without having breakfast and safe to say we won’t be returning
