Our suite was clean, comfortable, and charming, the hotel was centrally located, and there was free parking in their secure lot. Overall it was a fantastic value, would definitely stay... More

I travel to Scotland for golf frequently but rarely stay in or near Aberdeen. This hotel is apparently geared for the longer stay, but I spent just one night. Bedroom, sitting room, bathroom, kitchen. Very nice clean rooms lobby etc. if you're staying in Aberdeen pick Skene House. This one is centrally located.

Stayed 2 nights in a spacious apartment. Great location for eating out in the city. Continental breakfast included in price was excellent. Kind and helpful staff eager to please. Relaxed atmosphere. Good place to unwind and visit the city and north east coast. Beautiful part of Scotland.

I like the spacious bedroom and living room as well as fully equipped kitchen. The suite in Skene House just made me feel at home. The staff there are very nice and helpful. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the welcome drink very much.

We stayed in an apartment last weekend and I would really recommend it. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The apartment itself is nicely decorated and clean. It was a really good size and the bedrooms were pretty quiet despite being on a main street. The facilities were good - we asked for a travel cot and fan and... More

I stayed here for only one night while passing through town. I stayed there on a Sunday night, and it was very quiet. There is a computer in the lobby with free Internet and a printer, there is also free coffee, tea, and shortbread. There is an honor bar that has sodas, liquor, beer, and little containers of nuts.
