United Kingdom, January 2024

8.0/10

My stay at the hotel was lovely. The room was spacious and clean, and I had a small patio which was a nice touch. The receptionist I met was very nice and helpful. However, the seagulls nesting on the buildings caused some issues on the patio. The location was perfect in the center of Aberdeen, though it was a bit noisy due to the seagull activity, making the patio unusable. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor inconveniences.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable, equipped with hobs and pans, perfect for basic cooking tasks. The staff, especially Denise during check-in, provided a first-class service. The location was superb, right in the heart of the city but still in a quiet area close to Union Square. The dining experience with cereal, toast, and all the essentials was just what I needed. Overall, a great value for money.
