Hotel central to the West End of Aberdeen only a short walk from the centre. Staff were excellent, professional and friendly always willing to help. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of both hot and cold offerings. Would certainly use this hotel again when I’m in Aberdeen.

Showing signs of wear and tear. Very poor parking facilities with very hefty charges! When someone parked next to me I could not get in the drivers door. A lot of exterior noise from 6.00am. I was maybe unlucky with situation of room. Bed was comfortable and breakfast adequate. Better options in Aberdeen.

Everything was good. the only downside was a poor evening menu which meant we had to go out to eat every night. It needed to be more varied and more offerings. we have stayed at other Holiday Inn Expresses before who offered a really good evening menu.

The hotel is in an excellent location just off Union Street with lots of little cafes and different shops around it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, whilst the room is clean and comfortable. A gluten free breakfast included in the price is an added bonus!
