Unique hotel with a fascinating history. I loved the huge 80s baths. Exploring all the, currently unused, event rooms was fun.
Well, no wifi, but it’s budget accommodation and upfront about that.

This place was an absolute genuine surprise! I was looking for a two night stay in budget accommodation while working in the area. I arrived and immediately began to think I was in the wrong place as this looks far from being budget.
The hotel is Victorian era being built as a Hydropathic Hotel in 1863. It is a grand mansion like building in the Scottish Barony style and like many other Hydropathic Hotels of that era which are now amongst some of the finest hotels in the country, you could forgive my initial confusion. In fact this place laterally spent years as a college and only reopened this year as a budget hotel.
The rooms are typically Victorian, high ceilings with period features while freshly painted and having budget furnishings. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The place was quiet and strangely deserted. Imagine yourself as Jack Nicholson in The Shining at the Overlook Hotel and that is pretty accurate. However for me it was an enjoyable stay and an experience I won't forget. I'll happily stay again.
Only the lack of facilities let this place down.! There is no breakfast option but that's no big deal and although there is a commercial sized kitchen, there is no access to it like you might get in a hostel or other similar budget accommodation. If you want to eat in then bring food with you and you'll need to consume it in your room. There's a kettle, tea & coffee supplied in each room so a Pot Noodle is about the extent of achieving a hot meal.
There is a decent size lounge but it's not really the place to sit and relax as it is devoid of furniture. This place even for budget accommodation could still be so much better but I think it's early days from reopening and I hope things will improve going forward.

It was interesting to stay in the old Findhorn building, which is huge and fascinating! The bedroom was clean and tidy and warm and the beds were comfortable. We were also grateful to find a clothes airer in the room as we happened to have bought some wet washing with us that we needed to dry.
We found the check-in process a bit strange and unsettling as the person manning the check in desk, who also showed us to our room did not say one single word to us throughout the whole process. No hello, no word of welcome, no enjoy your stay, nothing. Just silence. We found that weird and a little baffling..
Also, unfortunately, we were woken up in the middle of the night by a very loud group of people who must have been returning from a night out, and who stood right outside our room shouting at each other while they queued for the bathroom.
