We stayed in September last year in Aldersyde Guesthouse in Aberdeen. Coming with the ferry from Orkney it was no problem to stop by and bring our luggage to the guesthouse early in the morning, we could even go into our room right away as it was already available. The room was very spacious, spotless clean and with free WiFi.... More

Booked this establishment as it was one of the few available options at very short notice. The room was clean and comfortable if somewhat dated. Wall mounted TV was exceptionally small. Bathroom was clean but smelt of damp or pee. Breakfast was serve yourself continental style, would have much preferred a traditional Scotch cooked breakfast as an option. Proprietor was... More

The room is perfect – spacious, comfortable bed, digital TV, free wifi, tea and coffee making facilities and modern ensuite bathrooms. Breakfast is delicious and included fresh pastries and toast, yoghurts, meats and cheeses, cereals, juices and fresh... More

Highly recommended B&B in Aberdeen. I stayed there for 3 nights with my 3 daughters as I introduced them to the city where their grandmother was born. Aldersyde is walking distance to the main street, wonderful restaurants, and easily accessible to buses for more adventures. The accommodations are first class and the owner could not have been more welcoming, friendly... More

John Mackay, the host, gave us a very warm welcome. Before we knew it we had spent an hour talking! He has entertained us for hours with his great stories... More

We learned of the Aldersyde guesthouse when a guesthouse a few doors away cancelled our confirmed reservation - due to an "administrative error". As Gerry Seinfeld said “you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to keep the reservation!" This was actually our good luck as John was an excellent host in all respects. Our room... More

Arriving to Aberdeen with my bike, at the beginning of my bike tour, and after finishing, I enjoyed the perfect hospitality of our host, John Mackay, providing us also a shelter for our bike box, and helping us in everything we needed. Just the best way to remember Scotland!

Aldersyde Guest House in Aberdeen has not only a very convenient location, close to train station and to the center of the city, but is situated in a calm leafy street with easy access to all services needed. The host John MacKay has been very helpful in many ways: i.e. storage for bike shipping cartons, organizing cabs, printing out boarding... More
