Shower was hard to control
9.0 / 10.0
Very nice pub, breakfast was very good quality, good location.
The shower was pretty poor, not really part of our stay but dinner service was a bit of a shambles and the food for dinner was really not very good - surprising when breakfast was so good. We were charged twice but they immediately put that right so hats off to them for that.

The staff were friendly
Comfortable bed and clean
Unfortunately we arrived on a Sunday. Our room at 4pm was not ready the staff were apologetic and offered complimentary drinks and food.
Rugby crowd
Quiz night and loud music meant no sleep.
The shower pressure is non existent and too cold.

All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Brilliant.
Comfy bed.
Nicely decorated but basic rooms.
There is some noise from the bar below in the bedrooms. Luckily I fall asleep easily.
The bar restaurant is very noisy. BIG screens, BIG volume. Not everyone wants to see rugby at conversation stopping volume.
Dinner tasted too much of Bisto gravy, and the telly was deafening. Really happy with breakfast.
The shower wasn’t very good. Breakfast starts at 8, which is not ideal if you’re planning a long day outdoors. They do offer a takeaway breakfast for early risers, though.

Nice location in the centre of Aviemore. Friendly helpful staff. Lively pub attached.
It can be a bit noisy if you fancy an early night and the pub is in full swing but that's a minor thing.

The Balavoulin is in a great location in the town and a good base to visit the Loch Ness area as well as the nearby lochs and mountains. The staff, and particularly the young girl serving breakfast, were excellent and friendly throughout the stay.
The rooms are fairly noisy and you can hear all the chatter from the bar below and even from the street during the night.

Location was excellent for visiting Aviemore. Room was comfortable and good value for money. We were asked if we wanted to book for dinner when we arrived and just as well we did as the restaurant was very busy and popular. Fresh cooked breakfast was lovely. Car parking very convenient.
Can't think of anything

Room was pretty good with comfy beds, and although over the bar we did not suffer any noise.
Room was clean and towels were nice and fluffy.

A fantastic stay over the busy Easter weekend. Staff were very friendly and welcoming making checking in and out a breeze. Food was great, as were the pints.
Rooms are comfortable, clean and freshly painted. Bathrooms all brand new tiling too! An amazing place to stay if you don’t want to be inundated with too many tourists but want to be right in the heart of Aviemore. Will definitely be back if we’re ever up in the highlands.
