This hotel is an excellent choice and I've stayed here multiple times. The location is great: an easy walk from the rail station, and close to shops, dining options, bus stops and points of interest. The neighbourhood is surprisingly quiet at night, which means a good sleep. The hotel dining is quite good, with vegetarian options and a varied menu. Perhaps the best element is the staff, who are consistently friendly and accommodating. Despite prevalent corporate policies emphasizing profit over people, resulting in chronic understaffing and overworked employees, the staff of this hotel make the difference. With its charming architecture, clean rooms, helpful staff, and a comfortable feel, I will gladly continue to stay here every time I visit Aberdeen.

Great Hotel with friendly staff

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast, and it was refreshing to have a refrigerator in the room. It's an older building so the floors aren't exactly level, but that didn't bother me. Nice location. Would stay here again.

Good night's sleep.

The room was comfortable and clean. Plenty of hot water! With a choice of bath or shower. The reeption staff were very welcoming and courteous. I had an evening meal and was impressed that there was a choice of two vegan options. Breakfast was buffet style andample, with fresh fruit a bonus. I had one of the best night's sleep I've had for a while. Thank you

This is a very old hotel being restored. It was in a great location. The room was comfortable and clean. However there were no written instructions on how to use central heating, etc in the room, or that there were safety alarms that could be set off. ( to which staff always responded) Breakfast was fabulous as was the restaurant food. Some of the staff were helpful, some rude and abrupt so one can’t generalise.
