We had a nice stay! Very walkable. The only issue was our bathroom shower had to be cleaned by their cleaing service when we came in on a late flight past midnight and then the room smelled like bleach.

I believe the hotel will undergo renovations now that it is owned by Hilton. The rooms need updated furniture, especially the couch in our 1-bdrm suite. It was old and uncomfortable. The AC unit is the old loud kind. Otherwise the room was good. The location of the Strathallan is perfect and the rooftop bar is a great place to catch the sunset over the city scape… great views and plenty of seating. The martinis are excellent too! The breakfast was perfect!

Excellent amenities; rude, unprofessional manager

The hotel is well appointed, clean, and modern. It has an up-scale feeling to it, and is generally very comfortable. The roof-top lounge is worth a visit, and the restaurant food is high quality and well presented. It still feels pricey for what it is, but not too pricey. The staff is generally excellent, and overall I had a positive experience. That said, I had a few very negative interactions with one or two of the more senior and older/mature looking members of the staff. They were consistently gruff, came across as rude, and borderline unprofessional. Their behaviour compares very poorly to the rest of the crew. Since they're still employed, I assume they are the hotel management. I didn't ask. One particularly poor experience was when I called down to ask about late checkout. For context, I was in an "accessibility" room. I have some mobility issues, and this is a room designed to be more comfortable for people like me. I called at 11:10, and was told to vacate by 11:30. The call was handled by what I assume is a manager. I met him again on the way out - he was running the reception at the time. Thinking that the 20 minute deadline is some sort of gaffe or mistake, I made the mistake of checking. I asked if this is standard hotel policy or some kind of emergency. He made it clear to me that it's not an emergency, not hotel policy, and that he didn't appreciate being called out like this in front of other guests. Barely-contained rude and unprofessional.

This hotel is beautiful and what a great staff. Gwen was so helpful and informative. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. Love the balcony! The staff welcomes you in and the cookies are a great idea as we arrived after a 7 hour drive. Hotel also has a great restaurant. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and many places to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. Easy to walk to museums and dining options and cute shops. Easy drive to highway to get to other areas; very convenient location.
