Fabulous Marcliffe.

From the second we got close to the door we were greeted like returning friends. The hotel is fabulous and whilst having that great place is very good, it is the staff who make the difference. They were awesome! We will definitely return.

The Marcliffe maintains its status as a top hotel in Aberdeen. Comfortable rooms. Breakfast is stunning. Checkout was an endurance - 15 minute wait due to reception taking calls for the restaurant. More staff on for check out would help that.
