Excellent place to stay. Best value of the 6 places we visited in Scotland. Loved the photos in the lobby of the history of the hotel and Aberdeen. Did the bus tour around Aberdeen - very beautiful architecture everywhere. Also, live music in the hotel pub every night and we took full advantage of that.

Not the best experience

Upon arrival the room was over 80 degrees. Super hot. We asked the front desk to assist and they told us they had no other fans or anything to give us. We were told by local people at the restaurant that the older hotels have issues where the upper floors get very hot. If you know this about you hotel, you should buy things to prepare for it. Install some additional fans or something. We went back down the desk twice to ask about it. They were very nice but could offer nothing to help. At one point a person even came up to the room and said "Wow it's very hot in here" but then proceeded to not be able to help. Overall not the most comfortable sleep at all for 2 days.

Even if from out side the hotel look like old and grey once that you are inside all the furnishings are good. Reception and lobby are good - receptionist are very friendly. Room are good bath clean. Hotel is located in the city centre at 2 minutes of the bus station reachable from the airport by bis 727. At 3 min by walk there is also the train sttion and a car park (£6 per day).

We were booked into a single room by Expedia , despite having paid for a double room for 2 occupants. Luckily, the hotel staff were able to relocate us. We then discovered that breakfast was not included in our booking. This was surprising, considering that we had several friends staying in the same hotel for even less cost, but still included breakfast. It was very noisy throughout the whole night, and we had very little sleep.

We did enjoy our stay in the apartment , but when booking didn't realise it was going to b out with the hotel . We had to go outside and up a busy lane. We understood when booking ,breakfast was included for 2 , my wife and myself. When we went to get breakfast the girl said the breakfast was only booked for 1 . We said no booked for 2. She was very nice and said take your breakfast for both of you and speak to reception when you check out. When we checked out receptionist said you have to pay for 1 breakfast , we said when we booked the apartment it said with free breakfast , When booking online it said for 2 people the bed was a double so I can't understand why it would only b for one breakfast . We refused to pay but the We will receptionist said we will put down on our records that you didnt pay for breakfast . We had a very nice stay at your hotel we had our lunch and evening meal , so we were a bit annoyed to asked to pay for one breakfast , it spoiled the end of our weekend away . Sorry to complain .

We checked in at 11:30pm only to find out rooom already occupied. The room occupants (including a young child) were understandably startled and afraid. We then had to wait for staff to knock on another room door (at midnight) to find us a room. No apology was offered and the receptionist couldn’t even stop what she was doing (cutting sellotape with her teeth!) and look me in the eye and apologize. Room (119 - avoid it) had a big pink stain on the carpet and water stains on the bedside table (you can remove that with a warm iron - google it).

Don’t do it!

Road construction made it impossible to get to, that should have been a red flag. First room smelled like cigarettes and so we asked to move and the second room didn’t smell any better. Horrible night sleep. Got out of there as quick as we could. Won’t be going back!
