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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
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.
