Clean room and the building is well maintained with beautiful & historic stain glass windows and fantastic staircase. It really is an architectural delight and the breakfast was most pleasing and the staff were all very accommodating. Thoroughly recommend staying here actually if visiting the city of Aberdeen.

Very central, walkable to eateries. Has parking but very tight and have to pay. Room was small, bed clean and comfortable. No fridge, instant coffee. They made mistakes and put my sister into a closet (single bed room) when we booked 2 -double bed rooms. Tiny, tiny room compared to our double bed rooms. They did reimburse for the mistake. Noisy at night as the bars let out. Jack hammers started outside our window at 7:30 am, so I was ready to leave by 8 am. Very mixed feelings about this place.

The hotel location is very good. It does require a refurbishment as it’s a bit aged. The rooms are clean and the staff are helpful. You’ve to pay daily for parking which can be expensive but your car is protected. We come here basically for the convenience of the location.

The Mercure is an older and I suspect much grander hotel at one time. It has a sense of opulence about it with wide staircases, high ceilings and stained glass windows, however there are also signs of aging, i.e. worn carpets, old windows. I think it adds to the charm. The breakfast staff were very attentive and pleasant. Breakfast was typical fare, with adequate choices available. My room was well appointed and the bed comfortable. My only complaint was noise made by the fire door slamming shut when people went through late at night.The location was a short walk from the central bus/ train station, and across the street from the union terrace gardens, a little green oasis in this granite city. I enjoyed my stay and would come again.

2nd floor room was clean and comfortable. Kept the window open due to the heat, but was regularly woken up by weekend revellers walking down Diamond Street until daylight. Thankfully the hotel already provided a pedestal fan in the room, so I could shut out the noise. Earplugs were very useful. Parking is small and first come first served. It says you can prepay for it on the map, but no one manages it so you might not get a space, despite pre-booking, save your money. Breakfast was really good, continental and cooked, with a la carte dishes available for a small surcharge.
