Station Hotel Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent

"Situated right opposite the train station and an easy walk to the bus station and the ferry terminal. The staff were really helpful especially as we arrived far too early to check in. We were able to leave our bags in a locked room and also on our last day after check-out. The room was spotless, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was gorgeous...and extremely clean. We decided to have the High Tea which was really good value and as we wanted an early meal the timing suited us 100% (3-6pm - I think). We didn't have breakfast as we had an early appointment but we were able to order hot beverages from the restaurant after checkout to keep us going until our ferry departure. We would definitely return next time we're in Aberdeen."
