A little gem
A great spot for this hotel, close to some of the main sites (art gallery and old town) plus the bars and restaurants around Union Street. A very clean bedroom, with super cosy bed (and a choice of hard or soft pillows) plus shower room. Very accommodating and pleasant staff too (they gave me a sewing kit and shoe polish kit when I realised I needed them).

Good location for Aberdeen City Centre
The hotel is a good location for Aberdeen city centre. The staff were wonderful. We did have an issue trying to check in as the computer system went down. The rooms themselves are quite dated, with older furniture, chipped paint, old toilet system etc, but still kept very clean. The hotel is located on quite a noisy street, and I was kept awake until nearly 3am. But not the fault of the hotel. The parking offered is £10 per night which was fine for the area, but be warned it was a very small car park, so book if possible. The breakfast was plentiful, a nice choice of stuff to eat, but a lot of it tasted old, like it had been reheated from the day before.

Disappointed
Have stayed here quite a few times over the years.. But the last few times it seems to becoming a little run down and needs a good freshen up. Never used to have to book a breakfast slot.Booked one on this trip as only staying one night. The breakfast area wasn't that busy and have never been turned away in the past that there was too many people. So no idea why this has been introduced Thats one part of going away.. Not having to rush for breakfast. The room was up on the fourth floor. Generally clean.. Yet alot of long hanging cobwebs on the roof. Silicone on shower room is in need of a redo.. Alot of black mould on it Staff friendly and helpful Only booked this hotel for the location.. Near to a music venue Will be looking elsewhere in future Plenty more selection in the centre of Aberdeen Shame they've let if go like this

They made us wait at the room's door for 15min because it wasn't ready. The staff struggled to make two horrible coffees at the bar and charged us £4 each.
