It's a beautiful hotel. As soon as we arrived we were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We were there for a friends birthday afternoon tea. All the cakes were homemade and the fact that one of our friends was vegetarian didn't pose a problem. The table was beautifully layed out with cakestands, china cups and saucers. The whole experience was amazing and to cap it all, one of our guests who couldn't make it received a boxed afternoon tea with the compliments of the manager. Such a kind and thoughtful gesture. I would highly recommend it without hesitation.

“Poor experience for special occasion and not cheap.”

So I don't really know were to start. I booked the Station Hotel for a special birthday treat for my Husband's 70th. On arrival no one was present at the reception and the hotel appeared very quiet. A young lady arrived and we were kindly allowed early entry to our room. We had arranged afternoon tea which was lovely, but the TOOTS bar was very quiet also. At the end I had again to search for someone to box up our remaining food. No atmosphere in bar. That evening we only wanted a snack and a drink in the bar. A young girl alone in the bar took our order but informed us she could not serve us our drink as underage. She did inform us she would get someone. We waited and no one appeared. Why would you have someone in a bar that cannot serve the customer? I eventually got up and went into restaurant and asked the gentleman to come and serve us. When he arrived asked ,"How long have you waited?" Not appropriate or helpful. The following evening we had dinner in the restaurant and it was lovely. Unfortunately loud American gentleman ruined the atmosphere. The lovely Whisky bar was open but bar unattended also. Our breakfast also each day was served by a lovely lady but our food was of poor standard eggs over cooked and over salted. I would like to add we stayed in a bed and breakfast the day before our stay in Elgin and it was a third of the price of the Station hotel. It was excellent. Although all staff courteous and polite due to our poor experience I would not recommend The hotel to friends or relatives.

“Clean rooms but a bit noisy”

Hotel is easy to find and there is a good sized car park opposite. Efficient check in but disappointing to find the Nespresso machines shown in the photos dont exist - just a kettle in the rooms. The room was in the courtyard, decent size and spotlessly clean. Bed was very comfy, shower was hot but… lisää

Hotel is easy to find and there is a good sized car park opposite. Efficient check in but disappointing to find the Nespresso machines shown in the photos dont exist - just a kettle in the rooms. The room was in the courtyard, decent size and spotlessly clean. Bed was very comfy, shower was hot but... although there are no rooms above, it was noisy with occasional banging above and a constant low hum all night. Breakfast was slow but ok - a bit surprised to be charged for an espresso. If it wasnt for the noise (and the lack of Nespresso machine) I would say good value but I am not sure its really 4*
