Breakfast at the hotel was good. Molly’s Restaurant also offered tasty dinners. Parking was nearby as advertised. Check-in and check-out were smooth. Getting to our room was like going through a maze but the room was clean. Enjoyed our stay.

Had a lovely 3 night stay at The Douglas. Which was less than an 5 minute walk from many amenities. Arrived 2 hours early for check in but our room was ready and we managed to check in right away, receptionist very helpful and friendly. Our room albeit a bit dated, was clean and fresh. The buffet breakfast, had plenty choice, and everything was of good quality. Dining staff extremely attentive and made sure nothing was running out. All in all a great experience at this hotel, and would have no reason to not recommend it. My partner and I will certainly be staying here on our next trip to Aberdeen.

Our stay was pleasant enough. The hotel is clean and well presented after some recent re-decoration. It is well placed in downtown Aberdeen. Breakfast isn’t great as the ingredients are not top quality.

A lot of reviews of this property say it is dated and too hot; I don’t disagree that the room had an old-time charm about it, but it wasn’t a bad thing, it was however very warm, and a provided fan for the room wouldn’t be a bad idea. The checkin staff was lovely.

Wonderful place. Staff was awesome and extremely helpful. Thank you charlotte for helping us navigate to your car park!! Breakfast was good and smoke. Room was comfortable. A bit of outside noise but it stopped before it got too late. Nice location. Our room was big.

It's a very fine hotel, with a warm atmosphere and very friendly, helpful staff. The sneaky back door down into "Malone's" on Shiprow lends a strange thrill to popping down for a pint...

Friendly relaxed hotel in a good location for exploring Aberdeen. Very nicely decorated big bedroom & bathroom, big comfy bed. Been on a 2 week trip in Scotland staying at 6 hotels & the housekeeping & cleanliness of this room was by far the best.
