“Excellent, very nice rooms and very friendly.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2010

people found this review helpful

I stayed at this guesthouse for two nights and was very impressed with the place. The rooms were clean and tidy (the room i stayed in looked like it had been recently refurbished), the breakfast was tasty ans very substantial, and the owner was very friendly and helpful. The location was also very good, a quiet area about 10 minutes walk from the city centre. The free WiFi was also very useful.

“Perfect for the Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2008
2
people found this review helpful

This is a lovely property and the proprietor, Louise, is fantastic. It's on a quiet street only half a block from a nice park and flower gardens. It is a 15-20 minute walk to the high street or 5 minutes by buses that come regularly. The rooms are very clean and the bed was comfortable. Louise will fix your breakfast to order and she is a very good cook. She is also helpful with directions, suggestions for sites to see, and she even loaned me 20p for the bus when I was short of change. Max, the house dog, is friendly and good-natured. This was very good value for the money and everything you would want in a B&B at this price range.

Only two minor complaints - the TV was tiny and the breakfast hours are somewhat limited, which negates sleeping in if you want breakfast.

“Quiet and comfortable...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2007

people found this review helpful

Good value accomodation is hard to find in Aberdeen as demand seems to outstrip supply most of the time. We've stayed in a number of places that offered lousy value for money!
Not so this hotel. Quiet and comfortable with good rooms and breakfasts and friendly service.
A 'trust' bar and internet access add to the facilites.
I obviously walk slower than some reviewers as I found it a 10 - 15 minute walk to the centre of town! (There is a bus though!)
Highly recomended.

If you are going to Aberdeen and you dont want to be in the middle of it all this is the best.The guest house is a 10 min walk from the center.
The food is top class,rooms are excellent as is the service you recieve.
I always look at hotels as i think they give you the best service.NOT TRUE in this case.

  • Liked — comfort / cleanliness
