Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was covered in damp stains and with peeling paper from what looked like a leak in the ceiling. There was a strong chemical smell in the room and the carpet was sticky. Cigarette burns on the cabinet, black mould in the shower and a cracked sink. The name "Highland Aberdeen" appears to be fake for online, it's not the name on the hotel. Rooms don't look like the pictures.

Pleasant stay. The room was pretty cold but it was bearable. Check in was an absolute hassle. Was sent an email with directions to send a whats app message. After messages back and forth, finally received another email with the link to check in. Why not just send that in the first place rather than having to send messages to whats app? I Would not book another stay at a OYO hotel for that reason.

I enjoyed my overnight stay as my room had everything i needed to be comfortable such as a heater and television.My room was also very clean. In the morning the breakfast facilities were impressive
No interaction with the staff
Room very basic, tired, ripped curtains, mixed ceiling tiles, old carpet, no cleaning of the room or buckets emptied whilst staying 2 nights.
Would not recommend this hotel

Plus points are the location, cleanliness of the room and the price. Downsides are security of the building, condition of the rooms and facilities ... bit of a mixed bag.

Very dated room but clean. We had a deluxe suite with 2 double beds. The only complaint was that the room was freezing cold. Would gave been nice to have extra duvets. Room was very clean, great location. Bargain for the price. Spare duvets it the only recommendation

This is a very run down property that is used as emergency housing for the homeless and should not be described as a hotel. Very uncomfortable bed and very noisy.
