I booked the room for my colleague, she said, \"the hotel is dodgy, quite dirty and a hostel with interesting characters, smells of weed and generally no safety… the breakfast was really bad and I was the only one there… it seems like it’s not a hotel that is actually used for tourism/business.\"

She felt so unsafe that she left after the first night. I am writing to request a refund. Please advise.

Hotel looks tired and run down. There was clearly no heating on throughout the building with rooms having plug in electrical heaters. We had to reject our first room because the window was not sealed properly and a breeze was blowing through the gaps in the frame. Reception did move us rooms quickly to a room with a sealed window.

Overall the cost was nice and cheap but even at the rate paid we did feel the building was showing signs of being a little run down.

Good for the price, with a few small quirks

Stayed here for a couple of days while working and needed something cheap and decent so that’s exactly what I got.

A few little things: paid parking felt unfair, shower pressure and heat weren’t amazing (but fine for the price). Also, elevator security seemed a bit loose since anyone could walk up, which might bother other solo travelers.

On the plus side: staff were nice even though I reached check out much much later, lobby and furniture looked great, and the smart TV with YouTube SAVED my evenings after the rough days at work. Room was fine and comfy enough to sleep and shower.

One heads up: it’s unclear if they have a restaurant in the premises, maybe staff could mention it just in case and the wifi connection is a little weak

Overall, it’s a solid budget choice if you’re not picky

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 Room was outdated, shower curtain heavily stained, sink wasn’t fully clean when checked in.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.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

Very cheap, but for a reason…

The best choice of words to describe my stay was adequate. For the price, I wasn’t expecting luxury but I was expecting cleanliness. My bathroom was grubby and smelled (of pee) The main room was also grubby and the bed, was too soft for my own personal taste. The hotel offers no facilities for food / drink and the nearest shop is quite a way away. Cat park was full of litter and several young people appeared to be using it as a playground on their bikes.

Unlike some reviewers have said, I don’t think the hotel is ‘pretending to be a Holiday Inn’. The hotel has clearly changed hands and the signage hasn’t been removed. If you don’t mind a sparsely furnished room, grubby bathroom and no facilities, then this place is good for you. If you want something more, stay somewhere else.

Comment to Management. If you want to make this venture work, improve cleanliness within the hotel, provide a little more by way of facilities / food etc. and put up your prices a bit.

Needed a place to stay for a night. We pulled into the lower parking lot, which had a sketchy, post-apocalyptic look and feel. Upper parking lot and main entrance were fine. The check-in was disastrous. The first room we were given could not, apparently, be opened by anyone due to a second, key pad lock above the standard key lock. Then we were given another room. I marched my tired family up to the third floor to find that the room was not a double. I had to go downstairs, leaving my family sitting with our luggage, to get the room we had paid for. The staff guy issued us a third card and came up with us. The third room had a bed and a made-up hide-a-bed as the second bed. Not the double we had ordered, but we took it so we could finally lay down. At no point did either of the front desk staff apologize for any of the chaos.

After that, the stay was average. Bathroom wasn’t clean to an appropriate standard, but not filthy.

It seemed like the hotel was still in transition from a Holiday Inn to the new owners. Perhaps it will improve over time.

So for a full English breakfast at £9.99 was absolutely disgusting, we refused to pay that price for a breakfast that was stone cold and hardly anything on offer, Totally unacceptable.

Parking Expensive - Hotel Good Value

The hotel was as expected for the money. Budget friendly, very clean, tidy and typical size, amenities, fresh towels, ensuite, etc. Room was good, although I couldn't get the air con to work. I did have a little USB travel fan - so no big deal. Very comfy room and the blackout curtains allowed me to sleep in till 9am despite sunrise about 4am!
The vegetarian breakfast is a bit limited considering the cost is the same as the non-veg. Was close proximity to Aberdeen centre. £10 parking is expensive, when there's a park and ride you can use for free within 3-5 minutes walk. This probably explains why the hotel car park was almost empty. I think if it was £2-£3 per night, most customers would park here for the convenience. They have 100+ parking, so this surely would generate more revenue than an empty car park with only 5 cars on there, charged at £10?
