Horrible Hotel, my single bed room was very small. It faced the busy street. Loud vehicle noise. The walls are paper thin. I could hear everything from the room next to me. There is no front desk and I didn't see any employees during my three night stay. Key code to open the hotel front door. Once inside use your Key code to open the lock box and get your room key.

Inexpensive, pretty clean but incredibly dated. Rusty screws where a previous shelf has been in the shower not ideal. Actually a Guest House not a Hotel, which I don’t mind if you advertise honestly

I suppose you only get what you pay for, i do plan to visit Aberdeen again but i won't be staying at the Terra Nova, bed was ok but i was constantly awakened by other guests storming past my room, shower clearly wasn't designed for me but then again I'm a big man
I'll be staying somewhere else next time.

Property was well suited for our needs, room was nice and spacious with good amenities. Main issues were the bathroom (especially the cramped and moldy shower) and the musty smell that permeated the room. Rooms could definitely use some refreshing!

But i have to say that some of the work in the bathroom was very rough.
It was clean and had a fridge in the room so that was a plus.

Friendly and flexible staff made the stay very pleasant. It's a great place to rest after a busy travel journey — the beds are comfortable, and all essential amenities are provided, including a mini fridge and microwave. The location is ideal, within walking distance to the city center and railway station. There's also a shared kitchen with basic facilities, which was very convenient.

Best value for money property in Aberdeen. Rooms are equipped with a fridge and microwave as well as having a full size kitchen in the basement. Location of the property is right in the city centre so everything is walkable distance. Unfortunately no free parking however there are lots of overnight secure parking areas available for cheap. Self check in was quick and easy.
Cannot fault this property on anything and would highly recommend to anyone staying in Aberdeen. Will definitely be back thank you!

Awful, the room seemed to by not cleaned after the previous guests. We notified immediately and someone was supposed to come to clean up, but nobody showed up. There was one tiny towel, for 2 guests arriving, bathroom floor flooded, no coffee and dirty cup on the side table. It was only one night stay, so we have stayed, sleeping in clothes as not comfortable if the sheets were clean, as the bed was a mess on arrival. Would not recommend at all. No cancellations, so after paying almost £70 had to spent the night

I understand that this is a low-budget hotel and I don't want to be completely negative. There were some good points, the location was great and the communication was very clear. However, in the room, the lampshade on the ceiling was held up only by the bulb, the bed was uncomfortable and the shower head was broken and wouldn't stay up without being propped up. Another point to note is that some of the other guests were not considerate when entering/exiting the building and the door would regularly slam and vibrate through the building, and this could be improved with some kind of mechanism on the door to prevent it slamming quite so hard. I would also suggest investing just a small amount of money in the rooms to update them and make them feel a little fresher (I was a bit confused as to why a hotel room in Aberdeen had a picture of pre-9/11 New York on the wall, for example).

Not a terrible place, but it could do with a little care and attention.

One of the worst, if not the worse, hotel we've ever stayed. The location was great but anything else was terrible. Not sure how this hotel has 3 starts and a 7.3 rating.

We planned a trip to Aberdeen with my partner and we genuinely gave this a long thought. The price is not very competitive comparing to other chain hotels around and we choose Tera Nova to suppport a small business rather than a chain.

The hotel is quite outdated and dirty. The room was the worst. Not the room we booked and shown on the pictures, very small for 2 people and we are both small. There were holes in our towels, dry rice on the duvet and dust on the dishes supplied. Surprisingly, the bathroom was the cleanest part of the room, although very cold, as no window or radiator in the bathroom, so the towels will get damped by the time we had a shower.

On arrival, we were send a text with info and were told that the room is cleaned every 3 days (we stayed 4 days and no cleaning was done), the bed sheets and towels changed every 7 days, unless you pay extra.

We were super busy and spent very little time in the room as we could not stand being there for long. We even thought to book another hotel, but as we were out most of the time and didn't want to lose time with packing and unpacking, so we decided to stay.

For the same money you could book some big chains such as Travelodge and Ibis, so avoid this at any cost. Terrible experience. Defenitely not returning.

Getting booked in and checking in was very easy and is the first time I have done so with nothing but a key code and I like how hassle free it was, the accommodation itself was more than adequate and very fairly priced. Overall i rate the accommodation high enough that we probably would choose it again for our next time in the city. The only thing was Unfortunately we didn't feel comfortable enough to stay both nights due to the lack of staff members or knowledge of the procedures to deal with the issues that the guest next-door had with us. It made us feel like we couldn't fully enjoy our first time away together because even if we so much as had a giggle or a laugh they'd bang a door or slam something. I'd of been more than respectfully understanding say if it was late or over the top but it was the weekend and we went to have fun .

Cheap but terrible experience

Small room to be expected for price.
Run down and in need of refurb.
Bed sheets disgusting with yellow stains - had to go to nearby Asda to buy bath sheets to cover the bed.

I arrived late in the evening, and when I conducted accommodation management to inform them I’d be looking for a refund they informed that I should have called and they would have sorted it.

To be fair to management, they did try and contact me but I was in no mood to receive a call late at night or for somebody to arrive with new bed sheets close to midnight. Clean bedsheets should be a prerequisite to any booking - regardless of price.

My request for refund was rejected.

Someone started to break the wall with a hammer at 19:30, and it continued for more than 2 hours in front of my room. Hearing some pieces of stones scattered, how can I stay with conformity and pleasure? If that was pre-scheduled construction work, I should have been told about it.

It was too noisy because my room was in front of the street and the window and curtains didn’t closed at all, so the sun, noise and air filtered through it...the guy who was in charge was too kindly.... the bed not so comfortable. What i really like is the fact of having microwave, kettler and refrigerator and the location.

I've been upgraded to a double room. Considering the price paid and that my stay was only for one night, it was ok. My expectations were not high. But the room did not match the ones displayed on the website...
Comfortable bed and heating was working well so thumbs up! Easy self check-out.
