Pocket Guide: 3 Stars Hotels in Aberdeen

Aberdeen and the surrounding area is a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. Rugged mountain peaks and scenic national nature reserves (NNRs) meet forests, wetland and the North Sea to offer a haven for all kinds of creatures.

Jewel in Scotland's Crown

The spectacular Cairngorms National Park looms large in both senses of the word - a jewel in Scotland’s crown of natural wonders, and location of some of Britain’s highest mountains.

Browse Aberdeen’s welcoming 3 star hotels and find your ideal wildlife-spotting base using Expedia’s search tool. Keep an eye on deals and special offers to find affordable accommodation to suit your needs.

A Wealth of Wildlife Watching

Glen Tanar and Muir of Dinnet NNRs are both within the park’s boundaries. Spot red squirrels, golden eagles and even glimpse elusive capercaillies amongst ancient Caledonian pine forests at Glen Tanar, or go otter-spotting in the Muir of Dinnet wetlands.

The northerly Loch of Strathbeg RSPB reserve is one of the best spots in Britain to see pink-footed geese, while the sandstone cliffs of Fowlsheugh RSPB reserve are home to an eye-catching array of seabirds during summer.

Marine Life

Playful dolphins have been known to feed at Aberdeen Harbour mouth, which can be seen from the shore. However, local companies also offer a range of local wildlife-themed boat trips allowing you to get closer to these beautiful creatures.

Aberdeen Hotel Reviews

5/5 Excellent

"A Truly Great Stay at The Station Hotel, Aberdeen! The Station Hotel truly stands out as perhaps the best hotel I've experienced in Aberdeen, and I honestly can't see myself staying anywhere else in the future. While many other establishments in the area seem a bit run down, The Station Hotel is a refreshing exception. It's incredibly clean and immediately feels welcoming the moment you step inside. My recent stay was fantastic! The bar was excellent, offering a great atmosphere, and the food was delicious. (Though I did have a chuckle when asked if I needed a knife and fork for my prawn salad and chips – no disrespect to those learning, of course!) My only minor tip for future guests would be to aim for rooms on floors 1-4. I was in a charming roof room, but the seagulls decided to host a lively dance party on the roof all night! However, this was a small blip in an otherwise superb experience. Considering some of the other places just around the corner, The Station Hotel is in a league of its own. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Aberdeen!"
