Had a room facing the street. Very noisy even at 3am. Also continuous screeching from sea gulls. Handy location for city centre amenities. Room in need of upgrade - wobbly toilet seat, no spindle on toilet roll holder and nasty carpet stain between the two beds. Breakfast average. Overcooked hash browns and sausages but overall plenty of choice.

The only let down was the evening meal. The soup was Heinz tomatoe which was fine. However the lasagne was £14.95 and at best guess it was an Asda Smart Price or Tesco Value microwave one served with two thin frozen bits of garlic bread. The meal was just under £22 and it was just edible at best. Hotel is good just eat elsewhere. I’d have gotten better food in Wetherspoons just up the road

We chose to use the parking garage a few yards away from the hotel. It was only a few pounds to stay the night. The room was nice. We enjoyed the breakfast.

Showing signs of wear and tear. Very poor parking facilities with very hefty charges! When someone parked next to me I could not get in the drivers door.
A lot of exterior noise from 6.00am. I was maybe unlucky with situation of room.
Bed was comfortable and breakfast adequate.
Better options in Aberdeen.

The breakfast needs some improvement. The coffee beans should be checked, and the eggs are overcooked and rubbery. The overall room condition was acceptable, but we did find some dust on the headboard.

A lovely quiet, quaint place with lovely views of the golf course, would highly recommend.

We stayed in the Holiday Inn for 4 nights from Tuesday 30th of December 2025 to Saturday 3rd of January 2026. We weren't impress with the incidental pre-payment as we felt unwelcome by this. This is not a British standard. It is an imported Americanism which is not wanted. Overall, it was a good night stay in the Holiday Inn, Aberdeen. The hotel is in the city centre, walkable to the shops and lots of restaurants to choose from. The staff were presents, good service. Tanya

Staff were excellent and always very friendly and willing to help. The room could do with a bit of a refresh, particularly the bathroom (a fair bit of mold and staining on the walls) but it was functional. Breakfast was disappointing. The tables felt crammed in and were difficult to navigate at times and the selection was limited. Bacon was like cardboard every day. Parking was decent value and our space was always available however the spaces have big pillars in them and not much room to negotiate so larger vehicles be aware of this. There is parking just down the road as well. Room facilities were good, with a fan, iron, TV and plenty of clean towels.

Hotel was nice with a good breakfast buffet. Room was a nice size and was quiet. The only issue I had was with parking. The hotel had limited parking space so I ended up parking at a municipal garage about a block away. Downtown Aberdeen was going through a lot of renewal and did not have the shopping that I wanted.

Hotel was fully booked. We were in a room outfitted for someone in a wheelchair. We have stayed in rooms like that before and all was well, but this one was different. The trash can foot pedal was cruddy and broken, a rack?/handle bar was missing from the wall (exposing sharp brackets), the tile on the bathroom floor had been sloppily painted over and was peeling off in spots, caulk was peeling off, etc. What all this peeling revealed were stains and discoloration underneath. It was yucky. When we attempted to share this feedback upon check out, the receptionist was quick to tell us that the damage was from wheelchairs. She acted like she did not care what we had to say. Regardless of the cause, the appearance was not acceptable. Otherwise breakfast was ok (but crowded) and we didn't experience noise through walls that others have reported. It was an ok stay overall.
