“"A Solid Sounding Name in a Very Solid City"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

I've stayed at The Douglas on two occasions. On the first, I wasn't too sure where it was, so I booked a taxi. We live and learn. I could have walked there in a good five minutes. But the taxi driver didn't tell me that!
Aberdeen is a very grey city, which, when the sun shines, is rather like a smile breaking out on the face of a grumpy man.The memory lingers. The city doesn't have much overt glamour but, cevertly, if you go looking (and are prepared to walk some distances) there's much to entertain.
The Douglas has a rather inconspicuous entrance on a narrow street but, once in, a welcoming presence: and friendly staff.
My room was very comfortable, with a very large sofa (had I wanted to entertain-which I didn't) and there's a quite America "feel" to its design. Well, as both Aberdeen & Glasgow just love American culture, that wasn't a surprise.
I enjoyed my stay; and the price of the room was very reasonable.
I ate in the hotel's Bistro, in the evening, ordering fish and chips and looking forward to it. Disappointing; and the beer battered cod tasted rather tired!
Nothing wrong with the breakfast, though.
Would I rest my head there, again? Yes, I would.

“The address is the best”

Visiting friends we found this a great location, so central. Room was comfortable, the staff seem to be lovely and go that extra. As its a city hotel you get the noise and traffic from the street so if you're light sleepers this could be a problem, I'm used to noise and happily slept with the window open. Enjoyed the choice of breakfast and set off home feeling like we'd been away for longer. Good choice.

“Location Location Location”

Stayed here for 3 nights and was impressed by the friendly staff. The food at the restaurant was excellent ( highly recommend the seafood chowder). The room was nice with a comfortable bed but like others stated a bit noisy. I woke up once with someone outside yelling on Market Street at 2 am. My room was on 4th floor facing the front of hotel. It is within walking distance of everything making it a very convenient location. I would recommend this hotel to travelers, and look forward to staying here again in the future. Free WiFi in the rooms with a code for different devices was a bit different but worked fine.

Room Tip: the rooms on the back side of hotel may be quieter

“Good central hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

Had our works Christmas bash at hotel and stayed over afterwards. Good clean and comfortable rooms. Staff very helpful and nothing was too much bother. Room was right above function room so very noisey, would be a problem if not attending. Only negative was the mirror was not near a plug, so drying/styling hair was a problem. Great breakfast, good choice and friendly staff. Would stay again.
