“Pleasantly surprised”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I usually prefer small. personall run hotels and B&B, but for a short trip to Aberdeen, the price and location tempted me to try this chain hotel and I was very pleasantly surprised. The room was a decent size, very clean and with everything you would need for a short stay. The complementary breakfast was a nice extra - nothing fancy but a fair range of options. The fire alarm went off in the middle of breakfast one morning, not much fun standing around an Aberdeen street on a December morning without a coat but that was the fault of a guest ignoring the rewuest to close the bathroom door when showering, as excessive steam can trigger the smoke alarm. All in all to be recommended

Room Tip: As often mentioned here, the rooms to the back are considerably quieter

“Saturday overnight”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Well done to all...my wife and I had a great night on saturday night 14th Jan....room was spotless...we had a smoking room and although you could smell the smoke down the corridor( not really bad), it was worth it to not have to go outside for a puff....there are about a dozen spaces for car parking and we were lucky enough to get one but the multi storey 50 yards away is ok considering your in the heart of the city (max £14 overnight)...well placed for everything and the breakfast was great...all you can eat and its good...a perfect night and we WILL be back.

thanks to all the staff

Room Tip: quieter rooms at the back but these are the smoking ones

We stayed here on the 31 december 2011. Great value for money!
The only downfall with the hotel is the carpark isnt very big! Hotel and staff great. Well had and idiot set of the fire alarm at 6.45 am. But staff was really good and organised. We woud stay here again.

Dear lynne b

Glad you enjoyed your stay on Hogmanay. The car park is indeed very small but we are lucky enough to have the large multi-storey just 100 yards up the road where the overnight prices are very reasonable.

Our apologies about the early fire alarm on New Years Day, it's unfortunate that such disruption was caused by just one irresponsible guest but, as I'm sure you will understand, we can't take any chances with people's safety.

Regards

“Does what it says on the tin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

Spotlessly clean
Great value for money
Great location
Friendly staff
Breakfast perfectly adequate
Best shower in any hotel I have ever been in including 5* resorts worldwide!!

I used to live in Aberdeen for years so in response to other reviews...
There are no nightclubs and certainly no lapdancing club outside the hotel. There is ONE all night bakery and yes, it will be frequented by drunk people at the weekend, this hotel is just off Union Street in Aberdeen City Centre!! Expect some noise. On the plus side, the bakery and a shop a few doors up open 24 hours should you need anything.

We have tried other budget hotels in the city eg Ibis but nowhere near as good. Book in advance for a great rate.

Oh and the most important thing to me..pet friendly!! Our pooch goes everywhere with us. He has always been welcome at no extra charge.
We will be back.

Room Tip: Back of the hotel will be quieter
