They charge parking if you book on hotels!

I can’t complain too much about the room, it was ok. Nothing special just what would be expected for the price. I had to pay for parking, I hadn’t seen this mentioned on the app when I booked it and the receptionist said it was because I had booked via hotels. Nothing against paying but there are plenty of other hotels local that don’t charge. I was told to book a table for food via the qr code. I tried several times but it wouldn’t work. At one point it said no availability until 9.30pm so I went down to the restaurant and they gave me a table straight away (7.30).

Not bad for a budget stay.

Staff were friendly. Hotel is on the old side but clean and comfortable enough. Walls are very thin and lots of noise was heard from other rooms and the corridor until late, then again early in the morning. Pool was lovely and warm but no privacy in changing area. Food in the restaurant was very tasty and service was ok considering how busy it was. Didn't realise we would have to pay for parking but it wasn't too pricey.

Great hotel for a business trip

Nice hotel. This is my first ch hotel when I stay in Aberdeen. Rooms are clean and comfortable with a good shower. Food in the bar is excellent so can be quite busy but they have enough staff to cope well. Excellent gym and pool to relax in after a hard day.

Toilet fills with waste from other rooms.

Ground floor superior room. Waste from other rooms kept coming back up the toilet. Reception knew about it but apparently ‘nothing can be done about it’!!! Moved to a top floor room. Won’t be returning until the drains are fixed.

My new favourite Aberdeen Hotel

Had a lovely stay, I was there for business. The WiFi worked well which is a plus. Had a problem with the TV and the delightful duty manager tried her best to fix it before swapping it for another one, apologising for any inconvenience. I had a splendid burger with chilli and cheese with a side of onion rings, which was a great day to end the day. Popped into the gym and pool for a couple of workouts and a swim. The gym is much better than the normal hotel gym, more like a private club gym. I would recommend staying and will be there again on my next visit to Aberdeen.

Beautiful hotel

Hotel was lovely. Nice ambiance when you entered and it smelled beautiful. Checkin was flawless. Breakfast was delicious and hot. Rooms were immaculately clean. Perfect stay. My only negative is we were not told on check in you had to book for leisure side which fortunately we were there for 2 nights and managed to get booked for 2nd day. And you had to pay for parking which was strange for a guest staying in hotel
