One night stay - Business
Just an overnight stay for work. This hotel has facilities, a lot of space and the food in the restaurant was actually gorgeous

10/10 Exceptional

Really good weekend stay extra day. Checking in & checking out receptionist was very friendly. Food was great only thing was thing saying where to sit, then the following day saying table was booked, but nobody turned up but the other girl said it was ok to sit there, so all good.

Excellent hotel with a few minor complaints
Cannot fault my stay here. Very nice check in friendly staff, nice bar area, excellent gym and pool/sauna. Just a very nice feel to the place. My only gripe would be having to pay for parking although only £3 if you booked direct through the hotel there was no charge. Seems unfair. And also very limited 0% alcohol selection in the bar. I will definitely be staying here again though.

Fantastic stay
Fantastic stay. The staff were friendly on arrival. The pool was good, as was the sauna and steam room. No issues with cleanliness and a good night sleep had by us all.

They just get it right. Great place.
My favourite place to stay when I’m anywhere near the area.
Neil, 2-night trip

As expected
On check in we were told general manager had given us an upgraded room. Pretty sure it was what we’d paid for and nothing more. Room was pretty standard and nothing more than expected.

Great hotel for a business trip
Nice hotel. This is my first ch hotel when I stay in Aberdeen. Rooms are clean and comfortable with a good shower. Food in the bar is excellent so can be quite busy but they have enough staff to cope well. Excellent gym and pool to relax in after a hard day.
Christopher, 1-night trip

Fine hotel but a couple of problems
Room was fine, if a little dated. However, far to hot. Had the window open and the fan on constantly - no air-con. I had to ask reception for another pillow as the ones in the room were so uncomfortable. They were old, flat and rock solid. The pillow given wasn't much better. Although we said we didn't need beds made or towels changed, I would still expect milk & coffee to be replenished. We had to request these at reception. Food was very good, with big portions. However, the drink was expensive.

Carol, 2-night trip

Not bad for a budget stay.
Staff were friendly. Hotel is on the old side but clean and comfortable enough. Walls are very thin and lots of noise was heard from other rooms and the corridor until late, then again early in the morning. Pool was lovely and warm but no privacy in changing area. Food in the restaurant was very tasty and service was ok considering how busy it was. Didn't realise we would have to pay for parking but it wasn't too pricey.

Beautiful hotel
Hotel was lovely. Nice ambiance when you entered and it smelled beautiful. Checkin was flawless. Breakfast was delicious and hot. Rooms were immaculately clean. Perfect stay. My only negative is we were not told on check in you had to book for leisure side which fortunately we were there for 2 nights and managed to get booked for 2nd day. And you had to pay for parking which was strange for a guest staying in hotel
Karen, 2-night trip

They charge parking if you book on hotels!
I can’t complain too much about the room, it was ok. Nothing special just what would be expected for the price. I had to pay for parking, I hadn’t seen this mentioned on the app when I booked it and the receptionist said it was because I had booked via hotels. Nothing against paying but there are plenty of other hotels local that don’t charge. I was told to book a table for food via the qr code. I tried several times but it wouldn’t work. At one point it said no availability until 9.30pm so I went down to the restaurant and they gave me a table straight away (7.30).
