Overall Ratings & Reviews Station Hotel Portsoy

Slept well and pretty good breakfast at a good price. But.... In dire need of modernisation. Although clean enough, attention to detail is absent and strange choices have been made. Rooms need a daily check and if things aren't right, they need to be fixed. A shower door that doesn't close properly, cables crossing behind the TV causing interference, sitting the breakfast area miles away from the rooms and being surprised when guests sit in the dinner area which they come to first instead. And the signs. Handwritten tatty signs are everywhere. The staff are either inexperienced or don't care. Having said all that, the locals seem to use the place and were welcoming in the bar where a couple of staff also spent the evening. We found out that the hotel has recently been taken over by a hotel group so I suspect changes will be made once they gear up and it may well be a different place soon. But I can only review what we experienced and wish everyone well for future success as it's a hard business to make work and changing / modernising the offer here will take time, energy and a lot of money. But the bones of decent accommodation may well be enough to build on. Good luck to all concerned.

On arrival we had to go looking for someone to check us in. The room and bathroom were clean but that was the only plus. The beds were very hard mattresses, they were very uncomfortable. The wall light fittings were falling off. The room was above the bar so it was very noisy till closing time. Breakfast was poor. The young girl serving was very pleasant but the food not so good. We both ordered poached eggs on white toast. Eggs were ok but the toast was disgusting. Cheap bread ( value coop as i seen packet ) which barely seen the heat of the grill! It was basically warmed bread, yuk. No one again at reception to take our keys. Overall i was very disappointed with the hotel, i wont be going back.

Good friendly staff. Clean comfortable room. Good cooked breakfast. Hotel also serves good quality evening meals

Very friendly staff good breakfast and clean would stay again

Enjoyed our stay. Comfortable and good food. Friendly staff.

Room was excellent.breakfast very good .staff very friendly.

Check in was very good. Woman at the bar was very helpful and checked me in. She took me upto my room and made me aware of where breakfast was in the morning. Very impressed. I was out on the lash all day and night. Came back at night for a few drinks and a game of pool. Went upstairs and the bed was big which is good but not too comfortable. It didnt put me off but it might have if i was sober haha. When i checked in I was asked when I'd like breakfast. I went down in the morning and my room number was on the table. I sat down and a while later i was asked what I'd like for breakfast. I ordered and after a while it came with an extra plate of scrambled and poached eggs. The waitress forgot to ask how I liked my eggs so she gave me them all ways which was appreciated. All in all I enjoyed my stay and I recommend it.

The rooms were clean, but sadly there was an awful pervading smell in the corridor near the suite, which was really unpleasant. It got worse as the day went on. The windows, which had been left open, were very difficult to close and as the room was facing the main road it was very noisy. One of the housekeeping staff did eventually manage to close the window after several attempts. Breakfast was of a reasonable standard and there was plenty of choice. I could not recommend staying in the suite, due to the awful smell. Thankfully we only stayed for 2 nights. The staff were lovely and Portsoy and the surrounding areas are very pleasant.

Good food both breakfast dinner. Bed was great and staff as well.

Our stay started with with a super friendly check in and explanation of services available and so on. The room was pleasant and comfortable with the exception of the intense heat which made sleep difficult. I think in hot weather some rooms could really use a fan? The food at breakfast was well cooked with a good variety of options available. The dinner menu was also good and food a high standard. All staff were welcoming and helpful with nothing being too much trouble. It was wonderful that our dogs were also welcome and could come into the bar and lounge areas with us. If we are back in the area we would definitively sty again.

Fantastic hospitality from the owners and staff Food was delicious,so no surprise the restaurant was very busy The 14:00 check in makes a big difference. Portsoy and the surrounding villages were all very clean with breathtaking scenery. We hope to return sooner than later.

Decent sized room at front of hotel. Despite this, never heard any traffic. Clean & tidy. Shower OK. Food was great, plenty of gluten free options, including fish and chips, gf bread and sausages at breakfast. Nice wee town, good coastal walks, would visit again.

Run down and dated

Very welcoming. We stayed in the suite which was huge with 2 separate bedrooms and small dining area in the middle and a separate bathroom. Service and food was excellent. Especially the evening meals in the restaurant on the ground floor, all homemade meals - recommend the beef and ale pie! Breakfast was good, plenty of options even with a fussy child. There was confusion about parking at first but plenty on the main road and plenty in a public car park next door. There is actually some to the rear of the property for visitors but not very clearly identified. We weren't phased by being on a main road personally, we all slept very well. The little loch at the side of the hotel was a nice treat especially for a morning stroll. A local co-op next door to this too. Bakery and takeaways across the road if needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Station Hotel Portsoy. The bedroom was large, nicely decorated and the beds really comfortable. The room and bathroom were very clean and bed linen good quality and spotless. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Central location with pleasant walk down to the harbour.

Old Inn site in central Portsoy. Grat breakfast and noce dinner options. Close to harbor.

All the staff we interacted with were very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent.

Really lovely hotel, food and staff first class. Perfect place to stay if you want to explore all the little towns around Portsoy

Excellent in every way. Staff so welcoming and helpful. Room comfortable, clean, and ideal for a short stay. Great food, both breakfast and dinner. Highly recommend this place.

Large hotel, with plenty of function space. The food was good as was the hospitality. Staff were great. However take note that the road is busy so ask for a room at the rear of the property. Rooms are bit dated, require upgrade and the quality of the fittings and decor were not good. Lots of potential at this hotel. Just need a bit of TLC in the bedrooms. Attention required in bathrooms- vents and shower seals particularly.
