Walking in, I was instantly in awe of the beautiful golf course and the lineup of Bentleys and Rolls Royces casually parked out front. Talk about arriving in style! And the cherry on top? A friendly Scottish staff in full kilt attire, greeting everyone at the entrance--I felt like I'd stepped into a movie. We wandered around the hotel, soaking it all in, and couldn't resist staying for dinner. Such a fun and fancy experience!

First class hotel, way too expensive. I felt out of touch staying here. I was surrounded by…read moreextremely rich people and outrageous prices. For 30 minutes of Archery, I had to pay 500 dollars! Buying a bow, arrows, and target is less expensive than that!!! I made my money's worth, as I made the record for the week, but still, $500 is way too much. Besides that, beautiful rooms, scenery, and food. My favorite part was the breakfast buffet. I had the best smoked salmon I've ever had. I would recommend you only come if you're willing to blow a few thousand dollars.

In winter you can use the hotel's curling rink and there are numerous golf courses in the area. As well as a swimming pool and jacuzzi there is a gym and thermal suite. From 15th October 2010 they are launching a music venue. There is fishing on Loch Leven. The hotel has it all and there is easy access to Perth to the north and Edinburgh to the south. Kinross and the surrounding area is a great place to visit. There is Loch Leven Castle and Falkland Palace to visit. There is an RSPB reserve at Vane Farm and beautiful countryside all around.

The Salutation Hotel is a very nice, medium-sized hotel in the centre of Perth. Apparently it is…read morethe oldest documented hotel in Scotland (mentioned as early as 1699 if the plaque on the building is to be believed..). We really enjoyed our stay there - good-sized rooms, friendly staff and very conveniently located. The building itself is very nice, too - the dining room is particularly impressive. Breakfast was ok, but not exceptional. (I cannot comment on the restaurant as we had dinner elsewhere). Do check booking.com or similar sites - we got the room for about half the regular fare (we paid around £69 for the double). There is a public car park just around the corner (pay & display). Overall, I can really recommend this hotel!

We stayed here only one night on our trip to Scotland. We booked a family room which said one…read moredouble bed and one single bed on the reservation; in actuality it was two twin beds and one bunk bed. We had a good laugh...settled our son into the bunk, and then did our best Lucy and Ricky good night kiss as we turned into our separate beds! Check-in was easy and very personal; it was like we were friends that they were waiting for. They asked if we wanted a newspaper in the morning; and told us about the included breakfast. She also did a good job of explaining the parking option, which was helpful (it's a public lot that charges after 9am...but she explained that if we paid that night it would roll over to the morning and we wouldn't have to go down and pay in the am). The room was clean and had all the things you expect in an old hotel (creaky floors, etc.). We had an issue with the hot water in the bathroom for showers, but not enough to ruin our stay. My favorite part was the coffee/tea set up in the room, complete with some Walkers Shortbread Cookies. Yummy! Breakfast was so great. It's served in their dining room, proper service with linens. Food is served buffet style and had a good variety including some tradition Scottish fare like haggis and black pudding (blood sausage). All in all it was a great stop on our Scotland experience.

This was my first time staying in a UK hotel. It was a unique experience…read more The first thing I noticed was how much like a cruise cabin this reminded me of. From the putting the key card into the power slot to the compact bathroom (With the REALLY big tub) to the lay out of the room, it was all reminiscent of a cruse ship cabin. And that was so different to a US hotel room, and not in a bad way. The bed was large and comfortable, the pillows were plentiful, the tv was nice. The water was hot. the kettle was great. I love that it was a kettle vs a coffee maker! What they did really differently? No small sized shampoo and conditioner, no individual soap. It's a pump container on the wall in the shower of shower gel that is both shampoo and body wash. And a pump beside the sink that is for the face and hands. It smells very masculine to my nose and I'm just a touch allergic to it. This location is RIGHT next door to the Perth Theatre, and made an excellent destination for us after watching the show. I'm glad we were able to secure one of the parking spots behind the hotel at 5 pounds per night.

He also tried the hard sell for brekkie. Dude ... please ... we are experienced (crusty) travellers who have travelled throughout Scotland. Regardless, this is well-run property. No complaints!

There is a nice park next to it as well. Rooms are huge!! By UK standards with king size bed ( at least in out room). The rooms are a bit dated, but not in a bad way. They were clean and neat. The have a nice bar and lounge room where I sit writing this review, but the real gem is the out door patio and garden. Absolutely beautiful, in fortunately is has been raining part of the day and we are unable to enjoy them.

It's about 40 minutes away from St. Andrews, but it's the closest Hilton and we were using points. The beautiful, old mansion that is featured on the website is an overly-flattering view of this hotel. That building is where the restaurant and bar are located, but the actual rooms are in an attached, 2-story stucco building that is lackluster at best. The gardens behind the hotel are very lovely on a nice day, however. The rooms themselves are fine. Nothing fancy but completely comfortable, and we weren't spending much time here. We had a king bed room that was in reality just two twins pushed together, which makes for very uncomfortable snuggling as you can feel the seam in your back. The room was small, but not the smallest I've experienced in Europe. BYO shampoo and conditioner--the stuff offered by the hotel is not good. One big complaint is that this sits adjacent to a major road, and you can hear cars on the highway at all hours of the day and night. The bar area is nice for a drink after a long day. The breakfast buffet is ample but not very tasty--low brow execution of Scottish favorites like haggis, blood pudding, eggs (very clearly powdered eggs!), beans and potato scones. The one way they over-deliver is the staff. Everyone was incredibly nice and accomodating. I wouldn't rush to stay here again, but it wasn't terrible.

The room was not maintained well and the bed sheets were dirty - not people dirty, but it looked like someone dropped a pen in the wash. Best part though was the shower - good, strong hot water. Too bad the bathroom fan was on its last legs and couldn't take the steam away. If it were only the room, I would actually come back here. It was all tolerable. However, the restaurant service was awful. It was like a scene out of Fawlty Towers. I witnessed the maître d yelling at a customer who had misunderstood the waiter. And when one of our tour members called him on it, another wait staff joined in to tell her off. To say there was any semblance of customer service on the two meals we had here would be a stretch. The faux maze outside the restaurant could only be used as an excuse to get out of the place fast so you didn't have to tolerate the staff attitude. For this reason, we have crossed this off our "go back to" list for sure.
