Hottest hotel in Aberdeen.

The hotel is very run down and many things are broken. Toilet seat broken. Aircon didn't work so asked to move and was given a fan. The room was unbearable hot.

This apartment was more than we needed for our 1 night stay but very appreciated. It was clean and had all the amenities. The vegan bakery down the street was amazing. Centrally located, we walked to the beach, to parks and restaurants.

Uninviting outside belies the nice, quiet rooms.

Slightly weird entrance that did not inspire confidence but the inside was really nice, especially my room. Receptionist was very welcoming and helpful.

Lovely little area of Aberdeen, easy access to local shops and restaurants. Taxi service was very convenient. On our last night we had people banging on our door at 3 AM but other than that it was fabulous. We would stay again

We have stayed in this location on several occasions. The serviced suites are to be recommended & we usually try to stay in the same one. The location is excellent - central & close to some of the historic architecture in the city. On previous reviews I have mentioned the state of the windows - those overlooking Union Street are absolutely filthy outside. Clean them please!!!!!
