Last August I spent a week at the Craighaar for a business trip in Aberdeen. While I don't think anyone will argue that the hotel is somewhat old, my room was clean and well-kept (though nothing I would call stylish) and the staff were extremely attentive to my needs. For example, when I needed to leave the hotel at 5:00... more

I have just returned from sunny (yes, it really was!) Aberdeen and, once again, found the Craighar to be a great 'home from home' hotel. I was most surprised to read some other recent comments as - if you check out the rest of the reviews - the food is brilliant, can't fault it. The restaurant menu is full of... more

I am writing about my stay over Easter at the Craighaar. We arrived at the hotel on Friday 21 March about 10am. We were greeted, or not, by the receptionist. She was very rude totally ignoring us until we point out that we were talking to her. We realised that it would probably not be possible to have our rooms... more

We were in Scotland visiting family and had two single rooms. One of the rooms was lovely. Recently refurbished nice big bed couldn't have been better. The other room was tiny with a single bed the shower was tired. There was work in progress which hopefully included the tiny room, so I'm sure won't be the case for long. The... more

I stayed a night in this hotel recently and the Hotel was quite acceptable. The Staff were very friendly and helpful and the Hotel clean. There was some redecorating going on upstairs but it did not interfere with our stay. The Room was clean reasonably sized and came with plasma TV and an above normal TV package for a hotel... more

I have stayed at this hotel numerous time whilst in aberdeen on buisness. The staff are friendly and service is excellent. The standard of food is excellent. One of the few hotels that actually cooks your breakfast to order, and what a breakfast it is too. Enough on the plate to keep you going till dinner time. Only minor let... more

I must first say that all the staff in this hotel were pleasant and helpful but..... The decor is dated and shabby, the furnishings dirty and the paintwork chipped. No mattress covers and suspect blankets - not pleasant. The worst thing was the ghastly smell that permeated from the toilets in the main corridor. £89 B&B - not value for... more

Over the past few years I've spent a combined total of 2 months at the Craighaar. Cozy, quaint, great service and friendly staff are the memorable traits of this hidden jewel. Very good food at the restaurant. The bar is great for reading the paper or meeting colleagues after work. Some people from my company prefer the Marriott. I can't... more
