“Best Thistle hotel in Aberdeen”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

Have stayed in all the thistle hotels in Aberdeen but this is by far the best. Very relaxing with pool, sauna, spa, complimentary gowns and slippers provided (not in other thistles unless paying out of your nose!), nice rooms and nice staff.

“Weekend break”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

Treated myself and two children (age 16 and 9) to a weekend break at the Thistle Altens in Aberdeen. On arriving at the hotel our first impression was "Oh dear", but on entering the hotel we were all completely taken aback. The hotel foyer is stunning, the girl on the reception was new but very pleasant and answered my query... More

Dear fiddlestix08, Thank you for your review, I was sorry to hear the hotel failed to meet your expectations on this occasion. Our Premises Licenses stipulates children are not allowed in the bar or restaurant after 8pm, so it's reassuring to hear the staff are enforcing this as we are legally bound to. We have submitted an application to have... More

“Poor service”

Reviewed April 26, 2013

A clean, neat hotel but with very poor service standards and I didn't meet one British member of staff in the whole place. What a welcome to Scotland! I stayed here last week within a group of 7 people, two of which were children of 12 years old. At 6.30pm we decided to head down to the restaurant for dinner... More
