Great Western Hotel Aberdeen

The bed wasn’t comfortable and the bathroom although it looked clean there was a lot of mold

room was a bit cold and could do with an upgrade

Nothing

The room was very tired. No chair at table. Distinct lack of electrical sockets, left with a dangerous extension lead, which we got replaced. Wardrobe shelving very dusty.

The location

The main entrance to the reception is also the smoking area for the bar so when me and my son checked in we had to make our way through a lot of smokers to get to the reception - not a great start. The reception is not manned so we had to wait a long time for a member of staff to check us in. The room was tiny, literally just big enough for a double bed, with the windows high up so you couldn’t look out of them it felt very much like a prison cell. Although the room was clean(ish) the carpet was covered in strange stains which made me feel abit sick as they looked like shit. The room/bathroom was extremely dated. The hotel was very very hot - no air con so we had to keep our windows open all night, however the smoking area was directly below us so all the smoke would travel up into our room so the room smelled like cigarettes all night. The walls are so thin you can hear every conversation being had in the rooms around you this got worse at night once people were sleeping as we could hear loud snoring all night. As the hotel has a lively bar in it, it is extremely noisey until midnight. Then after last orders, there’s a lot of doors slamming etc with people going back to their rooms - the loud noises didn’t stop until after 1am. The toilet didn’t flush very well and the temperature of the shower was very hard to regulate! The hotel doesn’t offer a breakfast which I thought was very strange, especially for a hotel that has a restaurant. The off- street parking they offer is terrible and doesn’t feel safe, I in fact preferred to park my car on the street on this occasion.

Geen ontbijt helaas en ook geen schoonmaak/ schone handdoeken bij een verblijf van 2 nachten. Dat was matig.

Wallpaper hanging off the wall
No coat hangers
Noise from bar until 01.30

The room was very dark with a lack of mirrors. Could do with a full length mirror somewhere for drying and styling hair.
No breakfast.

The set up was odd . Seems like the bar and restaurant are the main business and the rooms are just an add on.
No staff around in the morning and no breakfast available

Nothing

all good

To start with it has a very small car park. There was no receptionist as such just a lady from the bar came to check us in and she didn’t know how to work the computer so took a while to actually get checked in. Once in the room the floors were so creaky. We were on the second floor so nobody above us but felt sorry for anybody below us as you couldn’t help but make a noise when you walked across the floor! The room itself was very basic and we hadn’t paid cheap for it either! The bed was small and so was the quilt. There were two pillows each but they were flatter than a pancake!! The toilet seat kept moving anytime you sat down. There was no fridge and hardly any supplies in the room. There is no breakfast served at the hotel despite them doing evening meals. The staff in the bar were lovely but that was about the only good bit about this hotel. Safe to say I won’t be staying here again unfortunately!!!

Unfortunately while we were staying the fire alarm went off at 4am.......but safety first we were all out. Thankfully it was a false alarm and got back to bed for a few hours. Staff were great.
