"Mostly good. .... But."
We were only there for one night.. All was well with the location,and cleanliness,however, it was the details that bugged us most. The tv was tiny and the signal broke up like mad....constantly. There were no coat hangers....or even a hook on the back of a door so the room constantly looked untidy and messy as there were nowhere for jackets or coats ..also, there was no clock in the room and as it is the dark nights and mornings, this was a pest..

Likes:
I liked the location and the cleanliness. It is a nice modern facility and the breakfast ( we only had tea,scrambled egg and toast ) was cooked freshly ,so it was yummy.
Value for money was superb
Dislikes:
Nowhere to hang jackets,coats,etc. no clock... The tv signal.... Hopeless.
Also, there was not a lot of 'atmosphere' ...but that might be an 'age group' thing !!
Response from International Starters Restaurant with Rooms:
Thank you for taking time to review International Starters. As you have highlighted that coat hangers are important, I have now organised to have them fitted in all rooms. I apologise for the bad signal in your room. Unfortunately, at the time you stayed, the winds up north were extremely bad and they damaged our outside signal. For future customers, this has now been fixed. I hope that with having these details fixed, you may consider us again sometime in the future.

With its mountains, pine-clad slopes and wide river valley setting, Aviemore and the Cairngorms area is yet another very distinctive Highland setting. The high plateau of the Cairngorms is a backdrop to every view, and ever-changing throughout the day as sun and shadow move across these high hills. These high places lie at the core of the Cairngorms National Park which, at 3800 sq km, is the largest in Britain and was established in 2003.

At a lower level, the area is also a stronghold of the ancient Caledonian pinewoods - the descendants of the natural forests of old. As well as high mountain tundra and rocky passes, moorlands and forest, there are also extensive marshlands and lochs, whose best-known visitor in summer is the osprey - and one that is quite easy to spot, particularly around the Boat of Garten area.

The decor throughout the bar, lounge and restaurant is themed around countries from all over the world, concentrating on the four main areas that our food is inspired from. The dining room features the main centrepiece , our large crystal globe light. Our Bar / Lounge area is a bright, airy, modern and comfortable space, where you can enjoy a drink or two or relax while having a tea or coffee.

Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park is surrounded by stunning scenery and is a major highland holiday resort. Aviemore is an excellent base for exploring the Cairgorms National Park and the wider are of Badenoch and Strathspey or you can stay local and enjoy the lochs and forests and hills of Glenmore , Rothiemurcus and Alvie Estates. Aviemore offers shopping facilities for the outdoor enthusiast together with a range of local retailers offering gifts, crafts, restaurants, pubs and cafes.
