Terrible hotel

Terrible hotel. Spent 1 hour outside the hotel trying to check in (as the instructions said no front desk and I had to check in to get the front door code and the room code) only to find there was a desk. After eventually checking in went to room. Mattress hard as wood and no hot water for either of the 3 days I was there so cold showers....avoid this hotel at all costs

Booking cancelled prior to our arrival unknown to us. Hotel blamed Expedia, reception not concerned about turning two over 70 years old out on the street with no accommodation. This was late in the afternoon. It was difficult to find accommodation which was much more expensive, which we expect to be refunded in full. Very disappointed and upset about the whole situation.

I don't recommend

I chose the option on hotels.com to pay the extra £10 to pay on arrival incase I needed to cancel. Twenty seconds later the money was out of my account. Hotels.com said this was non refundable and were not understanding the option I chose which said put in your card details but dont worry this wont come out until you arrive. Hotels.com said its ok its pending, I explained it would not be pending for 12 days, they have taken it out. They said they would phone the hotel, two days later I got an email saying sorry its non refundable. We had to go but I was worried because I was taking my elderly mother and young son. On the day I kept getting emails saying to complete check in online and verify my card details. I did not trust this so did not do it. When we got there we were checked in no bother without needing to fill in forms online or verify my card details. The hote was dirty, the banister was thick with dirt. The room was basic with large worn areas of carpet, the drawers fell off, the curtains were hanging off the curtain rails. The tv kept losing signal, I had to swap the aerial as one was just lying around. The shower was dirty and there was an empty can left sitting on top of the wardrobe by previous guests. There is a kettle but the receptionist said they have stopped doing tea bags altogether. So there is a kettle in the room but no milk or tea bags. No bar or lounge area like advertised on line. The hotel goes under three different names. The beds were comfy.

The first thing I seen when I walked into the room was a huge stain on the floor. There was a dirty towel hanging in the bathroom, and the room smelled of marijuana every night. Overall the food was not worth the money. The front staff was friendly and did try to help with some of the issues.

Nice place to stay.

Very comfortable and spacious room. The shower was amazing. Good intenet and tv. Walking distance to the busy section of Aberdeen, yet a quiet area. Towel warmer in the bathroom. I did like the electronic locks on the doors, no need to worry about losing a key. The staff were helpful and friendly. Only complaint would be is that breakfast was listed as starting at 8, but nothing was ready, so we were not able to partake.

The Highland Hotel (now merged with the Brentwood Hotel next door) is on Crown Street, less than ten minutes walk from Aberdeen bus and train station. It is just off Union Street which is the main central street in Aberdeen (the equivalent of Princes Street, Edinburgh - sort of!). We stayed for 3 days, breakfast included. The room, towels, and bed linen were spotless. But the whole hotel is 'tired'. There is no lift, but the reception man will carry up the cases for you. Usual tea and biscuits in the room. hairdryer, iron and board. and case stand. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, kind and cheerful. Responsive to any requests. The breakfasts were as good as in any hotel.(could be hotter at times) And they need a newer, quicker, toaster! The hotel is an excellent centre for travel in the Aberdeen area. Since 2 hotels have merged the room numbers are similar, so ensure which of the 2 hotels you are booked in at.

The hotel cancelled our stay at 21:00 in the evening, leaving a hastily garbled message that our room wasn't available due to "maintenance." Interestingly, we were actually unable to attend due to a medical emergency, and were in the process of seeing if we could get a refund (though we knew it was unlikely) when they called us, obliviously unaware of our ongoing refund request. HOWEVER, they refused ALL refund requests from expedia, lying and saying that we HAD attended, and that they can confirm we were at the hotel and used the room. All this despite the fact that THEY cancelled on us, with a voicemail to prove it. And that I wasn't within 50 miles of the place. Look through the reviews, they've done this kind of thing before - as well as the fact that the hotel is not the Highland City Center, but actually "Oyo" hotel, or possibly Brentwood? This place is clearly a scam - either they have massively fewer rooms than they claim for whatever reason, or it is a simple scam where they frequently cancel on people for monetary benefit. Expedia refused to do anything about them, continuously siding with them for some reason, but did issue a discretionary refund on their end after about 2 hours on the phone. Goes without saying, but: Avoid.
