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.

Nice but a little worn.
The hotel itself is quite nice, although a little past its glory. The location is perfect for a couple of days in Aberdeen, and the afternoon tea is to be recommended. Our room had no view, and the lack of hot water made our stay a little less comfortable than it should have. When we addressed it we were told that the hot water system was down, and due to be repaired the day we checked out. They told us that our last day was the first with no hot water, but I told them it was both our days at the hotel. Why lie about that?

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.

Single traveller well provided for.
Solo traveller who had asked for a quiet room. On arrival the welcoming staff told me they had been able to oblige. The single room had everything that one would get in a twin or double room which was great as some hotels provide single rooms with poor facilities. The room was spotless, the breakfast and service excellent. Great location too.

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.

The location of the hotel is excellent right on Union terrace with easy transport links and easy walk to most places.
The hotel itself though is rather tired and even though the room was comfortable enough, the drawers were dirty and chipped. Service was fine. More a 3 star hotel than 4 star. I recently stayed in Mercure Hannover in Germany and that was miles ahead of this.

Room was clean and comfortable with big screen tv, iron, ironing board and safe. Staff very friendly, polite and helpful.
Just a couple of things - carpet needs replaced as it was a bit whiffy and shower curtain was very annoying as it clung to you in the shower.

avoid
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
