Unfortunate that our room had been previously occupied by a heavy smoker. Windows are sealed and air con doesn’t work, so air cannot move. Otherwise it would have been a nice stay. Clean bathroom, big smart tv. Clean bedding.

Pretty poor. Signage for hotel still says ‘holiday inn’, giving confusion on where to go to check in. staff seem disinterested, was only told where my room was, not given information about parking or breakfast etc (an opportunity to sell). Room was outdated, shower curtain heavily stained, sink wasn’t fully clean when checked in.
Might not have been staff, but someone that seemed like staff barged past me to get into a lift, when I was there first and was going up. (Don’t know for sure it was a staff member to be fair).
No functioning bar anymore, and restaurant just for breakfast - not really a big deal but just felt like a ghost town.

Room was ok. I specifically requested a double bed and paid a little extra for it, but I was given two single beds. You could hear everything outside and wind was coming in the windows, because the windows are not tightly sealed and there is no handle to tighten them.

Le personnel pas agréable, la chambre vétuste, des écritures sur le mur, la tv toute abîmé par des rayures. Verres sales, moquettes sales. Fenêtre impossible de fermer totalement. Chauffage d'appoint minuscule. Rien qui allait. Un bruit énorme des qu'on tire la chasse

Great price if you just need a room for the night. As a student at the nearby University its perfect for me and better than renting the student accommodation in the area.

Clean room, own bathroom and tea making facilities. All I need for staying occasionally overnight.

I can confirm as other reviews have mentioned, there is an odour of weed in the lift, but the room is fresh. Can't really complain for the price you pay.

This is my second time staying here, After a 13 Hour drive I just wanted to sleep.
Storm Chandra was barreling through Aberdeen the night I stayed.
I was put in level 5 facing full force of the Storm.
It was like the window had a massive Gap.
The room was freezing even with a small heater in the room. I had to put ear plugs in and get some sleep.
The shower in the morning was like Warm. I couldn't wait to get out.
There was a massive Green Spit in the Lift I noticed which made me feel physically sick.
You get what you Pay for I suppose.

When was the last time u guys hoovered communal??? Seriously... its my first time seeing a hotel in this condition.... i was shocked to say the least. Ive never seen a hotel that didnt clean its hallways and stairs, rubbish everywhere, random things left in corridors like someones walker, bags of rubbish, wrappers... bits of fabric, food... like wth 😅 definitly not cleaned for a long time.

However.... the staff were friendly on the front desk. Be aware there is a charge for parking.

We booked in and met my mother and sister complaining and advised that they were not staying. The rooms were a disgrace and smelled . The place smelled of cannabis. The night manager agreed to refund the money when Hotels.com phoned them his name was FIBIN £117.22 was to be refunded. Hotel is not as advertised. While we’re were there at the desk another person appeared through the key at the manager and walked out. We then had to frantically try and find another hotel. I use you a lot and this is not what I expect when booking through yourselves
Can I have raised a complaint and await my refund

The only thing holiday inn was the sign at the door. This should be removed and more explanation that it is not holiday inn. The room was clean and the staff friendly. We had chicken tikka meal. 4 bits of chicken in a what tasted like a jar of tasteless sauce and tiny nan bread. It took 1 hour and a lot of microwave sounds. Didn’t have breakfast. Smell of weed in the corridor. Kettle in the room but no tea or coffee provided even from reception I could not recommend this hotel. I know it was a last minute budget hotel booking but expected better.

The hotel felt unsafe for a solo female traveller. The rooms were accessed via a pin code and there was no deadlock on the door. The room was not clean with rubbish strewn under the bed and the carpets did not appear to have been hoovered anywhere. The room had a dirty smell.

Second stay

Second time staying here. Room was very spacious and so was bathroom. There was no chair in the room to sit at the table so i pulled the sofa forward and there was quite a bit of mess underneath it, so not the cleanest. The matress was bit more comfortable this time because they layed matress topper down, so it didn't feel springy this time. The hair dryer was broken and was giving off a burning smell. I left a piece of clothing behind but staff have not seen it, they said they'd let me know if it turns up. A few reminders. You have to pay for parking. There is no coffee or tea in the room although there is a kettle and cups.

As soon as i entered the car park (the downstairs one like an abandoned place) the receptionist was helpful and friendly. The room was not cleaned from previous use because there were food crumbs on the floor and the bed. There was no teabags nor coffee available. The tea cups were not washed. The kettle was rusted! It

Be aware

Room was a decent size, clean and easily accessible from car park. Unfortunately you have to pay for parking. Matress wasnt that comfortable you could feel the springs. There was no kettle in room when i arrived so i had to ask the service desk for one. There's not much point in asking for the kettle because there is no tea, coffee or milk given. Just a kettle an 2 empty cups. The shower head holder was broken so you had to hold the shower head by hand. Disappointed, especially since it was an ex-holiday inn hotel.

Smoking on premises and very loud. They advertise public parking but you do have to pay. At about 0600 the fire alarm went off which was a false alarm. Huge nuisance! The towels had incense on them which made them oily, stained & dirty. The fan was covered in dust. It would be a great place if they would clean up around the outside building, not charge for their ridiculously oversized parking lot & cleaned up the rooms. The smoking being allowed in the hallways is unacceptable as well.

I booked this for my wife and daughter to stay two nights. They checked in, and after seeing the state of the rooms, decided to leave.

The whole hotel looks like it hasn't been cleaned in ages, and the rooms were particularly filthy. Bed sheets obviously not clean, with stains and hairs.

Sadly, Expedia hasn't been able to get in contact with the hotel, so we're not even getting the refund!

I wont be staying here again! I should have read the reviews before.
The hotel is a salvaged holiday inn, with the owners trying their best to keep the facade.
The room was okay a few carpet stains here and there and the bathroom was clean, the bed was not comfy and although the covers/pillow covers were clean you can see the worn out dirty pillows underneath. By far the worst thing is the shower and sink, it took 5 minutes of the tap open to get hot water and the result was yellow water that filled the basin and bath tub with sand and dirt. Also, if you have a problem dont expect to be able to reach anyone including reception in the hotel, they do not answer phone calls. As I was walked to my room in a different building there was a women waiting for an hour and a half in the hotel lobby trying to reach the hotel (please be aware that even though there is a reception desk in both buildings only one is used).

You do really get what you paid for. If only the looked after the grounds in the carpark, greeted you warmly, even just hoovered the rooms carpet and cleaned the hair out the shower. (I much I refuse to use. it would have been value for money. Window is screwed shut in room. You can see the bed its self is well maintained. I won’t be back. Did not feel comfortable in this hotel at all.

Ok budget stay

Was clean when we arrived, towels and sheets were all clean - room was basic, was blackout blinds and a big smart tv, air con wasn't working but had 2 fans which was fine and had both on as was hot - but was also warm outside.

No room service on our 3 night stay though, didn't really need it but most hotels do it regardless so is a little odd. Water pressure is awful, shower is more of a fast trickle but water was hot.

Had kettle, mugs and glasses but no coffee.

Minimal but Comfortable!

I stayed at this 3-star hotel and honestly, it was great for what I needed. The room was super minimal—no unnecessary stuff, just clean lines and a calm vibe. But even with the simple setup, it was really comfortable. The bed was cozy, the space felt fresh, and everything just worked.

It’s not trying to be fancy, but that’s kind of the point. It’s quiet, relaxing, and easy. The staff were friendly and helpful without hovering. If you’re into a clean, no-fuss place that still feels really good to stay in, this is it.

Close to many attractions, dog friendly, reasonabl

The hotels location we thought was great, close to many attractions both in and out of the city centre.

£5 parking we didn't think was awful at all, especially for a big city and had no issue getting a space when we were in and out.

£5 per dog was a big factor in us booking because it was cheaper than others in the area and we really appreciated this!

The room was very clean, housekeeping do a great job. Smelled lovely and looked clean also.

It is very basic though, so definitely not the hotel if your wanting lots of amenities but if your looking for somewhere more to just sleep and wash etc it's great.

They have a kettle in the room but they don't actually provide tea or coffee as we asked.

There is a small hairdryer in the room, but if you need an iron you need to take your clothes to the ironing room and do it there. It wasn't a big deal and was still handy to have the use of.

Comfort wise, the mattress wasn't great wasn't terrible either was just ok but the pillows and covers were comfy.

Our check in was great and quick and the man on reception was very welcoming.

We didn't eat on the hotel so can't comment on that but could recommend some local activities that we thoroughly enjoyed!

Overall would definitely use again for location, parking and dog friendly when we are watching my families dogs.

I would avoid this place at all costs, it’s a million miles away from a Hilton Express (ex). The staff might as well not be there, ate and drank out as no one dined in the restaurant. Room although spacious are very dated and lacks any basic comfort.

Pros - Room was specious and quiet. Bed was comfortable. Had all the things we needed. Good breakfast. Plenty of parking slots.

Cons- Air conditioning not working but given the weather in Scotland, it was not a big problem. Bathroom smelled cigarette. Hotel name had not been changed.
