Top Ellon Hotel Reviews

Thainstone House

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoy staying here. On this occasion I arrived close to the spa facilities closing but the lady on reception (an Irish accent) was really helpful and explained that it was ok to go in and she would keep it all open for another 15-20 minutes which was just enough time for me to relax and unwind after a hectic day. I stayed again 2 days later and arrived in plenty of time to really enjoy the facilities this time."

Moxy Aberdeen Airport

10/10 Excellent

Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel and we keep going back for short breaks,,,staff lovely ,,rooms lovely, amenities good and food excellent"

Malmaison Aberdeen

8/10 Good

"A really lovely stay - bed super comfortable. Staff at check in very good. I stayed in club deluxe room - room was stunning. All feedback was on the second floor no elevator and I had a really heavy case - however staff helped me. No mirror to blow dry hair - however I mentioned to reception, they said they had mirrors there I could use - perhaps be helpful to mention at check or simply put in room to anticipate the needs of guests. All in all fantastic hotel will definitely be returning."
