Avoid this site
Pros:

We arrived and this hotel was closed down. I have emailed hotels.com twice with no response. The money has been taken from my account with no sign of a refund. We arrived in aberdeen as our father was in a serious road traffic accident he sadly passed away and we did not need this extra stress. Totally dreadful service from this site. I will not let this go until my money has been refunded!

Inexpensive, clean but dated on outskirts of city
Pros:

Budget hotel on the outskirts of Aberdeen. We stayed with 3 kids and it was 'fine'. The place itself needs a big refresh - think old carpets, dated wallpaper etc. it was clean and relatively quiet which was great. Food was good, staff seemed to be not very well trained, but were polite and helpful. Location is about 30 mins walk to centre of Aberdeen in a residential neighborhood but on a bus route which works well.

Pros:

The staff were excellent, very helpful and friendly. The reception was very clean. The room was a lovely size and comfy bed. Would have liked another chair in the room instead of having to sit on bed. We had a meal in the restaurant and it was very tasty and lots of, also the breakfast any amount of food. I would definitely book in thier again.

A hidder Aberdonian Gem
Pros:

This is a hidden gem. A quirky little place in the backstreets of town yet a very short taxi ride from town. Wifi is good, rooms are spacious and comfortable and the bar is well stocked with whiskies - some single malts that i have never seen before. All for a fraction ofvthe price of other local hotels in Aberdeen.

Pros:

This was a really fun place to stay. Relaxed atmosphere, excellent range of cocktails, fun touches like a DVD library to choose something to watch in your room, American diner, bar and games room attached. The room had a proper kettle, great range of coffees/teas and toiletries, decent shower. There is a large carpark, hotel is easy to get to, didn't notice any road noise or noise from the bar below. Special shout out to Emily, our waitress for dinner, she was very friendly, attentive and was kind to our dog, definitely an asset to your team!

The only negative I could give is furnishings could do with an update in places, worn/frayed carpets, chipped enamel in bathtub. Personally these are pretty low down my list of priorities though!

Pros:

Middelmådigt. Udmærket for en enkel overnatning. Der var ikke rent på badeværelset - der lå fremmed hår på gulvet da vi kom. Rigtig hyggelig krostue. Maden OK

Pros:

Situated at the corner of Grey Street which is narrow and has parked cars on both sides- avoid. Sat nav kept wanting to go down the road from car park as if it was one way but it isn’t! Car park entrance is 100ft from top of Grey Street.
Room was big and clean. We had one meal here which was cooked very well and tasted delicious, however service was poor had to ask several times for drinks as they kept forgetting and food took ages to arrive.
Dining area was very cramped and hardly enough room to sit down.
Room not serviced during stay
