Dishonest staff
Pros:

Clean, good location

Cons:

Beeping noise going off outside my room every 6 minutes, couldn't sleep, hotel full so had to move hotels at midnight on first night. Promised a refund for the 2 nights at the time. No refund came and they hangup the phone on me when I call. Do not stay here.

A little noisy, but that is to be expected in the middle of the city.

Stopping in Aberdeen
Pros:

Close to amenities
Clean, comfortable bed
Checking in was easy, and young lady was so helpful

Cons:

It's a very lonely hotel, no amenities. Also letting yourself into a lonely entrance and making sure no one follows a lot of activity by the main doors.

Pros:

Location was great, close to train station and other amenities, nice shower.
As a budget room it was good and pretty clean.

Cons:

The bed (for us) was really uncomfortable and duvet was so thin that we were actually a little chilly.

Mejorable
Pros:

Lo mejor es la ubicación. Justo enfrente de la estación de bus y tren es inmejorable para llegar a todos los sitios. Lástima que es caro el transporte público. Cerca de un centro comercial, bares, cafes y zonas de interés. Recomiendo ir a ver los Castillos de las afueras. Ver el barrio de pescadores, tratar de ver los delfines y las focas.

Cons:

El hotel le falta una reforma, está limpio a de decir. Lo malo la cama no había quien durmiera. Sonaba más que un sonajero. Se movía sola con los coches que pasaban. Y luego si quieres intimidar pues muy discreto no es.

Pleasant enough for my needs but won’t be booking again when I next visit Aberdeen
Pros:

Location is convenient for the station and transport links. Room was clean with a comfortable bed

Cons:

No hairdryer in the room, when I asked I was given one from a different room. A mirror would have been appreciated so I could see what I was doing whilst drying my hair! No heating in the bathroom which wasn’t a problem given the recent weather but I imagine would be pretty unpleasant in colder temperatures.
