Station Hotel Aberdeen

My wife and myself went here on 16 January 2026 with 7 friends.The location of the hotel was ideal, literally 30 seconds from the railway station.We had a superior room,which was nice and clean and comfortable although the was no hairdryer as advertised.The service was atrocious, although it did seem to us as if the hotel was desperately short of staff.Before dinner we had to wait about 15 minutes to get a drink in the bar,then, at dinner the service was poor,very poor.Three members of our party ordered fish,which we were eventually told that they had no fish left.We were in Aberdeen for goodness sake,NO FISH!!! A single member of our party ordered steak,medium rare,and was told he couldn't have it cooked like that.Apparently you can't have it like that in Scotland.No desert menu was offered and the drink we ordered for the table never came,although we have since found out that the drink had been charged to our friends credit card.Absolutely disgraceful.Please,please,please.....if you are traveling to Aberdeen stay elsewhere.

Visited as a day guest for a meeting. The ground floor area has obviously been refurbed recently and is lovely. The restaurant area is also very pleasant and the lunch we received was delicious. However, the conference room was cold, there was a bucket of stagnant water from a leak in the corner and our tea and coffee was delivered stone cold. There was a pane of the secondary glazing completely missing which made the room bitterly cold. Staff did bring some additional heaters but the majority of us spent the day in our coats. Could be better.

Stayed at the hotel and had our work Christmas party at the hotel! We had an excellent night and the staff did an excellent job! The room was set up great and the food was good. I decided to stay the night to make it easier after the party and the room was spotless clean and mattress comfy and for £55 I couldn’t complain. Would definitely recommend!

The rooms are forgettable and have radiators but the windows don't open. This was an issue because the radiators were turned way up. Luckily my friend figured out how to turn them off because the first night I couldn't sleep as it was so hot. When I called the front desk to ask what to do, I was told the rooms had central air (not correct obviously) but I was provided a fan which helped a little.

The front desk staff is average and does not acknowledge you as you walk by but the breakfast is good and the staff there are lovely.

There is onsite parking for £10/night but you still might get a parking ticket. I called the hotel and they said they are taking care of this, but it is currently unresolved.

The hotel is across the street from a nice mall with some good Italian restaurants and Krispy Kreme kiosks.

Room was basic but fine ! Breakfast was fantastic! Only thing was the shower was absolutely pathetic! Probably made in the 1950's and had no hot water , totally unacceptable.

I stayed at the hotel while my grandson was being born the first two nights were amazing the room was beautiful. Unfortunately I had to extend my stay and was moved to a different room I was very happy with the hotel trying to accommodate my extended stay but unfortunately the room wasn't worth what it cost. It was supposed to be a deluxe room but it was far from it. The wall paper was torn the furniture in the room looked like it had been hit with a hammer. There were only 3 plug points and only one mirror in the bathroom no other mirrors in the room so made it difficult for drying and styling hair. The room was clean the bathroom was clean but did need a few bits sorted. The staff and the atmosphere were lovely really could not fault them. I would stay again, just not in that room, the other room was definitely worth the price.

We know from previous stay, in a Double room, that the public areas are very tidy and buffet breakfast is good. We booked a Twin this time and it was extremely disappointing..very tired with curtain hanging off rail, peeling paint on radiator and walls, ancient furniture that a charity shop would reject, not many power sockets..poorly located, over-bath shower which is dangerous to enter..anti-slip mat provided and once in, the shower was lovely and powerful. One of the worst rooms we have stayed in for a long time!! This would be 1 star rating but the very comfy bed deserved an extra star. Work ongoing to modernise the Fire alarm system was good to see too. After reading other reviews, too late, I would agree that it is reasonable to ask for a renovated room.

We recently arranged a party at the Station Hotel on November 1st for a group of 25 people, with a pre-ordered menu as requested. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.

Upon arrival, there were no staff members present to provide service or guidance, and throughout the evening, we experienced long delays—on some occasions waiting up to 45 minutes for drinks. The bar was poorly stocked, with many items listed on the menu unavailable, including Tennents, lemonade, several spirits, and non-alcoholic options. This left us with very limited choices.

The quality of the food was also below expectations; the Chicken Maryland, for instance, was overcooked and difficult to eat. In addition, communication between staff members seemed disorganized—after placing drink orders, we were repeatedly asked if we wanted more drinks, even though our original orders had not yet arrived.

As regular customers who often visit the hotel for lunch on weekends, we were genuinely disappointed. We had high expectations based on the hotel’s usual standards and its reputation, but the level of service and professionalism on this occasion fell short. We hope that improvements are made. I don’t think we will be returning.

To make matters worse, a 25% service charge was automatically added to the bill — which came to over £800. Given the level of service received, this charge felt completely unjustified and frankly unreasonable.

We hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements.

Great stay, my 3rd time staying, this time in room 324, great room plenty space, only downside was stains on carpet. Staff so friendly, had high tea both nights, was lovely but both nights never got the toast with it.

Reception area nice and friendly reception staff.bar staff also nice and friendly ..rooms very tired and in poor condition..Also the cleaner didn’t pay attention to the do not disturb sign and banged on our door early after a night out I’m presuming to see if it was empty to clean ..location was good and the price was cheap so I suppose you pay for what you get . Probably won’t be returning though due to the terrible bed and overall room condition.

Couldn’t stay in last hotel (the Rox) as it was not clean and smelt really bad so moved to the Station Hotel Aberdeen which was the only reasonable priced hotel around the area. Check inn nice and efficient and staff were lovely! Upgraded me to deluxe room on 5th floor. Room was modern and clean with no bad smell! Bed was extremely comfortable however the seagulls are annoying but nothing hotel could do there. Food in evening and at breakfast was lovely and would definitely stay next time in Aberdeen. Thank you for looking after us!

Bar well stocked staff knowledgeable breakfast plentiful rooms very comfortable and clean

Breakfast was ok

Old grand station hotel in the Victorian style just next to the railway. Very quiet in the evening when we were there.
Pleasant, helpful staff and generally good value. Fairly uncomplicated fare in the restaurant but well priced and good value too.
Pool table at the back of the bar which was in very good condition.
The room was not that big but adequate, clean and comfortable.
There is parking at the side and the back, but limited and a little dilapidated and looked uncared for. It was full when we arrived, but there is another public, paying car park immediately adjacent which was not that expensive.
Breakfast in the morning was a lot busier, curiously, and was pretty good.

We would definitely stay here again very much value for money . Well done everyone.

Do what it said on the tin nice,easy access,nice clean rooms and well stocked bad

This was a nice hotel, quite traditional and it made a nice change from the usual cheaper hotels with no personality! The front desk team were really helpful and friendly. I paid for the upgrade and although my room was nice, it was really small but had a large shower room that was lovely. Bit chilly though - could have done with a heater in the bathroom. Stormy weather meant the bathroom window leaked and resulted in my toiletries being soaked so I had to ask for spare towels from reception.

The hotel is conveniently close to the train station in Aberdeen city centre, with a car park at the back. I had trouble knowing which car park to park in as it was dark when i arrived, there is no lighting and signage non existent. Car parking bays are not marked out and as the car park is a strange shape it was difficult to determine how to park. Unbeknown to me there is a £10 per night additional charge to park, this in my opinion for the condition of the car park is unacceptable. I believe they have another car park and the one I parked in is an overflow car park. However this first car park which does have marked bays and lighting was full. It is a small car park and very tight to maneuver as i discovered when i ventured to see if there was a space.
The hotel foyer and reception area is welcoming, staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant area looked pleasant. The room we had was very tired looking with a large window that at first I thought was open because the draught and noise was so bad. The windows are clearly very old and inefficient. The hotel did provide earplugs in the room, but if like me you can't use them, this is not the hotel for you.
The shower in our room was cold unless you turned the water flow right up.
Breakfast at a weekend isn't served until 7.30am but as we needed to leave at 7am we had to leave on empty stomachs.
I would not recommend this hotel unless youre happy with cheap and cheerful and are can sleep in noisy environments.

So noisy ! Have not been able to sleep any night of our stay , on our final night they have music from downstairs blaring till past midnight , every night people shouting running through the halls and banging doors and walls throughout the night , really not happy , came with a baby and really wouldn’t recommend for families as his routine is totally disrupted and none of us can sleep

For the top price we paid we were very disappointed in the shower pressure. Water only dribbling out and took a long time to heat up!! Would have scored higher otherwise.
