Very nice hotel, been there a second time. The desk isn’t manned 24/7 but I believe it’s also run by the Douglas hotel, I thought there was no one there when I checked in but after a few minutes someone was there to help me with check in.
Overall another pleasant experience.

Room was clean, quiet and well appointed. Elevator was appreciated and staff friendly and helpful. location does not show properly on Google map for navigation by car. Close to restaurants Staff was helpful at their sister property, Douglas Hotel, in getting us to the property.
Steven
Only complaint is the clock on Union st. Rings every 15 minutes from 7am up to 2200. But thats no fault of the hotel
ALISON
Had a lovely stay, beautiful accommodation with everything needed in little kitchen. very central location. Really comfy bed, very quiet peaceful night, I highly recommend.
Carla
Great stay! This is our second time staying at these apartments and will return. The lady on reception was fantastic and upgraded us to a super king size bedroom after me explaining I go for surgery Monday and it was a break before then so she tried to make us more comfortable. The staff were very pleasant and polite. The apartment itself was clean and well maintained with all mod cons and everything you need for a comfortable stay. With a central location this is a great base for any visit to Aberdeen, will stay again. Thank you
anthony
The website photographs were nothing like the room we had. Rankef excellent, The room was tired, worn, and not nice. The windows were very drafty and the room was noisy all through the night til 5 in the morning. The shower door was of its hinges, the handle hanging off, and the shower tray had a full crack in ir the room needed total refurbishing.
Kate
Comfortable but dated, the serviced apartments have just enough for your stay. To enter you need to call the reception to open the nondescript and fairly poorly signed black door, which was difficult to find. Location is convenient for exploration, but being directly above BrewDog and across from the casino, I found the rowdy crowd below frequently very noisy around 3am.
Keith
It had a kitchen in the room. Good location. Poor parking and directions to hotel. Once there is was nice.

Allan
The hotel was in an ideal location, easy to walk to from the train station and in the right position for all amenities for shopping and entertainment. The apartment was clean and comfortable with all essential items needed. There’s plenty of places to eat and drink and there’s Tesco extra close by if you have forgotten anything. Enjoyed our stay very much and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Hottest hotel in Aberdeen.
The hotel is very run down and many things are broken.
Toilet seat broken.
Aircon didn't work so asked to move and was given a fan. The room was unbearable hot.

Noisy from busy road
Very noisy! Road noise! I wouldn’t stay again !
DAVID
Great suite, but the check-in desk was unstaffed when I arrived, so I spent a very irritating 20 minutes out on the street, unable to get through the locked door leading into the hotel. The phone number to call for assistance was not working on my 1 phone. They need to fix this; check-in should not be so difficult. How about a simple door code?
Stephen
The property was clean and comfortable. We were close to the center of the city (on the main street) and within walking distance of train and bus station. Lots of dining options nearby.

This apartment was more than we needed for our 1 night stay but very appreciated. It was clean and had all the amenities. The vegan bakery down the street was amazing. Centrally located, we walked to the beach, to parks and restaurants.

This place is perfect and I make sure to stay here every time I visit my daughter in Aberdeen. I have been several times and will keep coming back again. See you again soon. Thank you.
Catherine
We have stayed in this location on several occasions. The serviced suites are to be recommended & we usually try to stay in the same one. The location is excellent - central & close to some of the historic architecture in the city. On previous reviews I have mentioned the state of the windows - those overlooking Union Street are absolutely filthy outside. Clean them please!!!!!
Sophie
Enjoyed our stay, was nice to get away for a break. Did find someone’s perfume and clothes label in the room. The sponge we received for cleaning our dishes had already been used by someone. Considering the price for a night which I’d say is a little high you’d think every apartment would have new sponges for new residents.
Considering all of this I would return to the apartments as this isn’t my first time staying with yourselves and I do love the apartments. Staff are a bonus as they were all very polite and kind.

Gorgeous room, horrible everything else
I love the suite but checking in was a NIGHTMARE. It’s extremely confusing because the door is locked but there are no instructions- just for “delivery drivers” to call a number.
I called the number on the website, a very rude person told me she’d let the receptionist know to open the door but I waited 15 minutes— outside. In the rain. With my luggage. I’d been traveling all day and just wanted to get to my room.
I was almost crying then banged on the door and someone opened it finally and she chastised me for not already knowing to call the number on the paper saying delivery drivers should call that number.
She then made me wait another half an hour for my room.
It was absolutely ridiculous

Really quite a good property - once I was able to gain entry. Corner apartment was very large and nicely appointed. This is the best accommodation I’ve had - and infinitely better than the hotel in Edinburgh with an elevator that didn’t work and uncaring staff.
The only minor complaint was that the washer was unstable during the spin cycle - and the street side windows were very dirty.
Otherwise excellent!

Good room, but loud
Centrally located but the church bell ringing every 15 min between 7 am and 11 pm and people on the street yelling and shouting after on and off until 3 am every day, was frustrating. Nice apartment but asked for a bath and quiet location, which didn't happen. Reception isn't always there and there's a number to call for assistance which assumes you have a phone. Maybe indicate the desk phone can be used? Also suggest providing laundry and dishwasher detergent since these appliances are there. Good there was dish soap.

Anne
Stayed one night, room was a good size but the kitchen had cupboards that were broken, things hanging off of the wall, there were broken bits and the floor was in need of fixing. It was noisy and there was no soundproofing. Anyone walking passed the room sounded like to door was open, bed was also in need of replacing. Generally in need of an upgrade. Although staff there when you check in. No one there after hours, just a number to call.
Julie
Check in was a bit of a nightmare. I’d emailed twice via ebookers regards early check in and had no response so ended up calling them. Upon arrival we were left standing outside I. The rain as no one was answering the intercom door and also the telephone number that was listed on the front door. Ended up calling the phone I had phoned regards early check in. Finally got in after half an hour. Went to wait in brew dog and £21 for a wine, pint of ale and two packets of crisps! Apartment itself is beautiful. Very clean, warm and modern. Outside house in the bedrooms is minimal. Had a random knocking at our door at 3am…. Obviously she had the wrong floor. All in all I’d stay again but I think check in needs to be addressed.

Noisy location
Very noisy location with a town hall bell opposite that rings four times every hour till 11pm, that and a pub on the ground floor and night time revellers in the street till about 3am make it not ideal for a good nights sleep.
KENNETH
Excellent value
Except for a couple of minor details, everything was in good condition and very clean. We could have done with some advice about parking, and a second guest chair in reception, as we had to wait a while for the receptionist to appear. We were a little surprised that admittance on arriving required the use of a mobile phone and anyone without it could be left on the street for a while. On the whole, though, it was a very enjoyable stay and excellent value, and we'd happily return.

Some hooks for towels in the bathroom would be an added bonus. We did not find it noisy at all.

I REALLY Wanted to like this place
I really wanted to be able to give this place a great review, but just couldn't. The good: great location (half block to most bus stops, 10 minutes walk from train station, near the harbor), connected to Brewdog Brewery, an Aberdeen local. Nice rooms that were clean. Little kitchenette, decent bathroom. Bed was extremely comfortable.
The bad: seems like they put lipstick on a pig. Old building, and the floors didn't get resettled before they put cheap laminate down, so they creak and make noise with every step. Room door slam shut and the walls inside as well as out, are paper thin, so I could hear a baby down the hall everytime it cried. Others have complained about the noise from outside and it is true. I was on the back side of the building, so was spared the bus noise. But anyone partying outside felt like they were in my living space. Not a restful stay.

Disappointed
We actually extended our stay by 2 days before our hotels com. stay by phoning the apartments direct. When we went into our room we were very disappointed that we had no view as we were on the top floor and there was a brick wall in front of both sitting room and bedroom windows, it felt like a prison so went to reception and the very nice helpful receptionist put us into another room with a better view., It was only when we went into the bedroom to try to sleep that we realised the bedroom window wasn’t soundproof it was a nightmare trying to sleep. After a broken night sleep we went to reception again and the same very nice receptionist moved us again to a smaller apartment with a less view but quite in the bedroom so we opted to move. We found the air condition and heating system very hard to work out and we seemed never to get it right but mostly we felt cold in the morning and late afternoon. Overall the apartments were nice and comfortable but I would have rather have been in a nice hotel for less price with breakfast thrown in which we could have easily have got .

Great studio apartment one of the best we have stayed in.
Irene
Disapointed
I had booked a 1 bedroom apartment with huge windows overlooking the main shopping street with good size table and chairs and a large space living area and Kitchen. What I got was a small poky bedroom with no windows which front door opened into.
The kitchen area was in the small hall between bath room and tiny sitting area where I could nearly touch both walls there was a high table and 1 tall swivel chair that I could not get up on and I did not think I was that small all in all very disappointed.
I checked my booking and I had booked a large 1 bedroom flat not a small studio

Good facilities but could be better
Good apt. With great facilities. Overall clean but with her dirty mat in main room. On opening some of the cupboards I found them to be quite dirty. On one of the outside dolls there were weeds growing as will as cigarette butts. We were told there was a car park belonging to the spots but we passed this several times. We were in contact with the Reception by phone four times and only when my husband walked to the Reception we were told that the car park which was reserved for guests had another name on it which belonged to the same Apt group.

OK accommodations, terrible service
I was very disappointed with this hootel - the room was not spectacular but more than adequate for the price. However - the staff goes out of their way to be unhelpful and borderline rude. Dealing with them was not a pleasant experience.
The worst drawback is the total lack of useful internet access. The WIFI was useless and hyper slow, unacceptable for any type of establishment in 2019. I could not do any of the work I was supposed to do, and even checking in for my flight was impossible. When I asked about why it was so slow, the response was that “the manager said next month it will be faster”, which clearly was no help to me during my visit. We asked for a taxi to be ordered for a specific time on one day, and when we came down we were told that no taxis were available because it was raining - take the bus.
I was expecting more of this place based on the reviews.

EXCELLENT LOCATION
Fabulous location. Well equipped apartments.
Verified traveler
When I checked in and went to my room I discovered that I had been put in a studio instead of the one bedroom apartment that I paid for. I enquired at reception and was told that the manager had changed it as they only had one other one bedroom available. I was them asked if that was ok which I of course replied no to. I wanted the room I'd paid for. I was then allocated a one bedroom on the top floor.
The room itself was nice although showing signs of wear and tear. The biggest issue was noise from the street and local bell tower. The near constant ringing of the bell was so noisy that I had to wear earplugs to get any sleep.

My go-to place to stay in Aberdeen
I've been staying at this place for a few years now whenever I'm in Aberdeen. Suitable for business or leisure trips, you can get a studio apartment, a 1 bedroom apartment, or even a 2 bedroom apartment at a really good price. They are always clean and make a great base if you're there a few days. They all have a kitchen area so you can even bring food in or cook your own, and have a nice separate living area. It is just an apartment block so there's no bar or restaurant on site but you're just a couple of minute's walk from the city centre and a ton of places to eat or drink and to get breakfast. Union Square shopping centre and food court is less than 5 minutes walk away, I always leave my car on the car park there overnight, costs about £8. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place to stay, right in the centre. As a result it can be a bit noisy at night, which would be fine if you don’t have an early rise for work.

The property is central and for the price of a reasonable hotel you have the comfort of havig a separate living room.

Fantastic value, great location, affordable luxury
An amazing surprise when I entered my suite of rooms. The quality of furnishings was second to none, clean tidy and perfectly serviceable. I had to pinch my self when I thought about how cost effective these apartments are. Close to bars, restaurants and clubs and on the beginnings of the major thoroughfare that is Union Street and almost directly opposite a Weatherspoons, these apartments are ideally located in the heart of Aberdeen. Try these apartments, rather than slashing out on a hotel, you’ll not be disappointed!
