It is a hotel like catacombs ...the fire doors close for night: you feel trapped in the morning.
Pros:

Excellent location (a few minutes walk to the bus station, railway station and Union street where comfortable and relatively cheap EMBER busses stop for airport connection, for instance).

Cons:

Noisy (especially sea gulls all over the night, and also other rooms are very weakly sound proofed).
The hotel is old and it desperately needs renovation; the shower must be replaced immedeately; very hard to operate.

Staff outstanding, just get air con 🫶🏻
Pros:

The location is perfect. Staff couldn’t have done enough for us and our whole party of guests. Nothing was too much hassle. Every request was met.

Cons:

No air conditioning in room and windows do not open to allow air.
Some of the fixtures and fittings could have been replaced but staff listened and noted my observations.

Pros:

アパートメント形式の部屋でした。キッチン（冷蔵庫、電子レンジなど…）、バスタブもあり、必要なものがすべてそろっていてとても快適に過ごせました。朝食もとてもおいしかったです。スタッフの方は親切でとても助かりました。もしまたアバディーンに行くことがあれば利用したいです。

Cons:

部屋の床に注射器が落ちていました。フロントに伝えたらすぐ対応してもらえましたが、怖かったです。お風呂の掃除も雑でした。すぐ前がパブなので、週末は結構騒がしいと思います。

A well placed and comfortable hotel to explore this fabulous city
Pros:

The hotel is really well located to explore the city, and very close to transport hubs. We had a room with a view of the harbour which we enjoyed, and it was comfortable and well serviced. Aberdeen is a fantastic city for a short break. Lots to do in the city - free museums - the art gallery, provost skenes house, the maritime museum, and easy to walk round and navigate. We enjoyed a trip to theatre as well. We also used it as a base for two day trips with Rabbies to the Highlands around Balmoral, and the North East Coast line.

Cons:

Though the food was good and plentiful at Molly's Bistro, the hotels restaurant the service we received was slow and unfriendly.
