Could be a great hotel but some of the infrastructure lets down the efforts of the staff. Room 101 lacked heating and storage, the hotel as a whole lacked the BT broadband it advertised. That was probably more BT's fault. The staff changed our room and offered more that enough in service and recompense but that cannot disguise the lack... More

Just back from 1st visit. Booked early online so got for a good price. On arrival were advised we had been upgraded from a standard to deluxe room which was lovely with a complimentary drink and were VIPs for our stay. Couldn't fault anything and lookin forward to my next stay there in October. More

Stayed for a weekend for my uni reunion. Nice hotel, rooms were small, but comfortable and clean. Staff were helpful, only issue is finding the parking which is at the back of the hotel (go down diamond street off Union Street.) Would go back though, but maybe a bit cramped if you had 2 in the double room. More

I had booked via lastminute.com (I will never do that again either) and the price was ridiculously high but it WAS late booking I guess. The hotel had heating problems so decided to move our party of three to the Thistle hotel at Aberdeen airport. This was ok because it was closer to where our meetings were. Mid-journey though we...

It is unfortunate we were not able to contact you in advance as you booked via late rooms we are unable to obtain your contact details as soon as we were aware of the situation... More

The hotel is in a great location - just off Union St and opposite the Terrace gardens. I was working in Aberdeen for the week and in Dyce and this was the only hotel which had rooms at the time. However, it is a very pleasant hotel, staff are very friendly and efficient. I stayed in a standard room for... More

We had the deluxe room and it was a nice size. The bed was right there when we got in, maybe not the best placement tho. We had a man come in at 9 am, it was one of the staff, seeing as he used his key card to get in, and that experience was not nice. You could hear... More

Dear Katti, Thank you for your comments. With regards to the gentleman in your room this was maintenance doing daily checks and I believe this was while you were at breakfast. Our procedure is to knock twice and announce ourselves before entering but can understand your concern to arrive back to your room and see someone in your room. I... More

I stayed in a standard double room at this hotel and got a great deal through lastminute.com (£49). Room was at the back of hotel so no noice from the busy street at the front of the hotel. It was a fairly small room but this was fine as I was not planning on being in the room much. Bathroom... More

The deluxe double room was excellent, quite spacious, and well appointed with updated decor. Considering the central location and Aberdeen's "oil-patch" economy the value is excellent. I have paid more for far less on other visits. The restuarant breakfast was good and there were some nice options at a modest surcharge. Dinner also good but there is an abundance of... More
