Avoid. Plenty of good hotels in Aberdeen.

Paid a premium for a deluxe room. Room was quite bare with little in the way of amenities. Windows facing on to union street were so old that they mayaswell have been removed. Could hear every noise from union street through the night. Also, there was an adjoining room with another guest only separated by a flimsy door. Could hear them breathe never mind everything else they got up to. Attempted to get a refund shortly after check in which would allow us time to get another hotel. Hotel staff said they’d get back to us within half an hour but of course they did not. Shambles of a hotel. Avoid.

A fairly tired property with a long list of things that just aren’t quite right: curtains that don’t shut, not very comfortable bed, rundown furniture, tired decor. Just a bit shabby throughout. However, I will say that it serves its purpose. A well located very central hotel. I would choose to stay here again, I would just have a better anticipation of what it was I was getting.

Good hotel. Great location.

The hotel was in a.great location. Our evening meal in the hotel was superb. The hotel is a little careworn and the room was really warm. We would stay again.

Great location of travelling by train.

Great location near train station approx 6-10min walk depending on your mobility. We booked a twin room which was comfortable and had everything we needed for our one night stay. No doubt the room could do with some maintenance and a refresh. The doors loudly squeaked which wasnt great if going to the loo during the night. The bathroom door didnt have a working lock and whilst you could adjust the heat in the bedroom you couldn't turn down the heat in the bathroom and with such a small room it made it very hot at night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bar well stocked and the hotel was literally 3/4mins from Union street and the main bars, shops and restaurants available. Great 1 night break away and would do again. Would be happy to stay in same hotel for short stays.

Very shabby poor rooms, below par. Cracked walls drafty windows rattling breeze coming in. Dirty. One tea bag for two guests for two nights not refilled, stained pillows thin not comfortable at all, stained carpet with leaking radiator which also didn’t work. Avoid at all costs
