We have stayed here before but in a platinum room which was beautiful. This time we were in a classic room and it was ok but not that great. The room was clean, bed and bedding comfortable. The carpet in our room (and in the corridor) was pretty dirty. Heater in bedroom didn't appear to be working and broken trim on dressing table. In the bathroom there were cracks in basin and shower head not very good. In the corridor the paintwork looked grubby. The breakfast was nice and staff friendly. I agree with a previous reviewer in that there are better places to stay in Aberdeen for the same price or less. We picked this hotel for convenience as we were attending an event nearby.

We stayed on 31st December at a cost of £120 for one night B&B and were attending Hogmanay dance nearby. We were shocked to find filthy carpets, decor and furniture that could be expected of a poor 2 star hotel. Room was freezing even after 2 hours. Staff were helpful, provided a noisy portable heater and apologised but no other rooms available to transfer. When we touched the cables to the lamps the light worringly flickered on and off. The trim around the light shades were hanging off. Sockets for TV etc were all hanging from an adapter which was just messy and felt unsafe. On top of it all there was no hot water for a shower or bath before going out. Apparently there was a high demand that evening for hot water! A letter to the manager via their website didn't even bring about an acknowledgement, def won't be using this hotel again.

We booked a two-night break here from January 18-20 for a double special occasion - my wife's birthday was on January 19, and we wanted a special treat before she goes into hospital on January 23 for hip replacement surgery. We paid £304 for two nights bed and breakfast. It was not a four-star experience. The room was ok, comfortable bed and good double glazing. the basin in the bathroom had more cracks than basin. The television picture was abysmal, and the remote control only worked for volume - not for channel change. The hotel also lost our credit card details - resulting in a "snotty" letter under the door, asking us to provide these details, which had been provided on check-in. Sadly it appears that this hotel is yet another in Aberdeen which gets its money too easily via the oil industry. The worst aspect was that a good friend arranged to have a birthday card dropped off for us. It disappeared into what appears to be total managerial incompetence. We would have liked to have seen the card. There are better places to stay.

I booked in advance for the weekend of the Your Wedding Show at the AECC Aberdeen. I found out why I got such a great deal in the middle of January - this excellent hotel was deserted. It is ideally situated for getting to and from the AECC Exhibition Centre (provided you use the Beach Boulevard road) 2 miles away. It is a short 10 min walk from the Queens Link Cinema and eateries. Although it claims to be in the city centre, you will have a 20 min walk to get to Union Street. The evening meal (except for the lack of vegetables!!!) and breakfast in the restaurant where excellent.
