Station Hotel Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing to dislike about this hotel..I have stayed there many time and am always made welcome by the staff. Samantha and Abby were particularly helpful and made my stay particularly enjoyable with their high professionalism and standards."

Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"Welcoming staff at reception. Clean well tended room and bathroom. The tea coffee facility within the room could be improved by adding a better selection of tea's the addition of a few cookies would also be welcome. Very quiet overnight on the top floor. The breakfast room is well set out and there is something for all tastes. Unfortunately the English cooked breakfast items were over cooked making much of it unbeatable. Hard overdone bacon, overcooked dry scrambled egg, and inedible fried hashbrown was like trying to get through cardboard. My breakfast consisted of a few scoops of runny yoghurt with a scoop of grenola as the sometimes frozen mixed berries were unappealing. That said I would stay here again because ot its proximity to the city centre."

Brentwood Aberdeen City Centre near Union Street

8/10 Good

"I was not expecting much as it was a bargain basement price . Hotel is dated and looks tired . The room was clean , bathroom spotless and the bed was really comfy . Staff were extremely helpful . Definitely recommend for a tight budget was perfect"
