Guests appreciate the modern, well-kept Dance Hall at The Institute Executive Apartments in Keith, highlighting its comfortable beds and proximity to local amenities. While some maintenance issues are noted, the property's charm and location offer a pleasant stay for visitors to the Speyside region.
The property is generally well-kept with freshly decorated living spaces. No negative comments about cleanliness suggest a high standard, although no specific praise was given to provide a perfect score.
The central location in Keith is well-received, with easy access to shops, restaurants, bars, and distilleries, making it an ideal spot for exploring the local area.
The beds are noted as very comfortable, but the lack of air conditioning and issues with window ventilation during a hot spell affected the comfort level for some guests.
The apartment is modern and well-equipped, but several maintenance issues such as a leaky showerhead, absence of a dishwasher (despite being advertised), and the need for a washer-dryer combo have been pointed out.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Keith, a small market town in Scotland's north east, is located roughly midway between Aberdeen and Inverness. Keith is truly in the heart of Speyside Malt Whisky Country, with so many distilleries and visitor centres. The friendly town has its own 18-hole golf course and three tennis courts, as well as a selection of retailers, motels, and restaurants. Keith is home to the original Kilt School of Scotland, the only one of its kind in the world where traditional kilt production processes may still be seen today. The ruins of Balvenie Castle near Dufftown are well worth a visit because the castle has hosted guests such as Mary Queen of Scots and Edward 1.

The only comment I would have is that you should be aware of the openness of the two mezzanine bedrooms which was pointed out in the description. We are four adults who are good friends and the two upstairs bedrooms at right angles to each other provided enough privacy as to not be too embarrassing! Other than that we had a great stay there.

1 replace downstairs showerhead as it leaks from the corners so water if flowing over the corners and not throught the showerhead and it pulls away from the wall easily. We didnt use the upstairs shower so cant comment on that one 2 replace dining table and chairs as the table size doesnt suit the space and the chairs do not fit easiy under the table because of the table base 3 when I booked the listing incuded a dishwasher but there is no dishwasher in the Dance Hall rental so this needs to be removed from the listing 4 replace the washer with a washer & dryer machine so you dont have wet laundry hanging around the room, trying to get dry (drying rack in closet) 5 add a curtain or blind to the top highlight window over the door as it was very hot when the sun was blazing through that window during our May visit but this did make a good place to put your wet laundry 6 there was no washing sponge/brush or dish rack and these were provided the same day, when I contacted the rental supervisor (thank you) 7 flooring is a tripping issue in some places as its starting to lift. Upstairs the flooring feels spongy when you walk in it 8 be careful of the metal strip in front of the door as I tripped on this and ended up with fractured ribs from the fall 9 replace the knives with sharper knives 10 finally, install some powerpoints along the wall where you have the dining table because these no place for you to setup your computer/s to work. We ended up using the kitchen bench but there are no bar stools so had to stand when working Overall a good place but its missing the mark by either not taking on feedback or not giving it a critical eye to make it better cheers
