The Hotel is geared towards the Tradie clientele. The room we stayed in had mould on the ceiling, dirty windows, stank of smoke and cheap deodoriser. The hotel and rooms look like they were decorated in the 90's and haven't had any update since. This place is ok if you want a posh Crack Den but i wouldnt stay here again or recommend it.

I had a quick overnighter at the Great Western. Seems to be a good and conveniently located hotel. I was able to park (fee free!). Just a 10 minute walk to Aberdeen High Street. The room was clean, had a comfortable bed and good heating. I was in and out with no issues.

Cheap and cheerful

You get what you pay for I suppose. Staff all very friendly. Lively bar and restaurant downstairs if that’s your thing. My room was on the top floor above where the smokers hang out all day from the bar. Thankfully far enough away not to be bothered. Room was ok. Very tired. Stained carpet and cigarette butts all over the balcony. Floorboards unbelievably squeaky. Felt bad for my neighbours every time I moved in the room. Could hear people in next room talking, not loudly. There are only about 4 parking spaces and staff seem to use them. I got in there one out of 4 nights. Free parking in nearby streets and it’s a safe neighbourhood. I didn’t complain about anything. It was just me on the trip and have stayed in worse places. Wi-Fi worked well and the bed and bathroom were clean. Wouldn’t take my family here though.

Was a good location for our golf trip. Hotel was nice, and room was clean. My room was above the smokers corner so difficult to have the window open. Hotel served food in the eveniing, but no breakfast facility available and no other optiion close by. Not a problem for us as we got breakfast at the golf courses we went to, but maybe a consideration for others

Balcony room

Everything was very clean and we opted for a room with a balcony which is great when the sun is shining, the downside being that the room was very warm and the only form of ventilation was opening the patio doors onto the balcony. This did not detract from our stay, however, and the staff we met were very pleasant.

The first room I was given had not been cleaned; dirty towels no pillow cases: no clean towels dirty. It was rectiy and was given a new room. This is a pleasant hotel at budget price. If you have mobility issues not good choice.
