Moderate
Pros:

Very spacious and clean comfortable room.

Cons:

I think the staff needs more training to be a bit more efficient when dealing with customers.
Not saying all but some definitely need some training on how to approach and accommodate customers and not have them waiting for a long period time before assisting them.
Make sure that the room temperature is comfortable before the guests arrive.
My room was freezing.

Grim. Never to be repeated. Sad, as previously stayed and eaten many times. New management hopeless.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything
Bedroom(114)was in a noisy and busy location and vehicle were parked facing and right outside the window -very poor value for money. Dinner was poor with food cold and undercooked. Breakfast the same . In the Lounge are after dinner there was a drunk shouting and swearing profanities and no intervention by staff

An exceptional stay in a beautiful Hotel
Pros:

We travelled to Aberdeen for a long weekend at this fabulous Hotel. There was a very welcoming Reception, and the hotel boasts a Lounge with roaring open fire and 2 restaurants. On arriving at the Hotel, the check in was simple and we had our bags taken up to our room. The room itself was faultless … beautiful décor, large comfy bed and large bathroom with walk in shower. There was complimentary fruit, biscuit and luxury tea/coffee/hot chocolate plus milk and water in a fridge. We had a meal in the Skylark restaurant on our first evening and the service/food was second to none. There was a varied menu which was well presented, and the service of the staff was exceptional. There is another restaurant – the Conservatory – which we did not use but the menu here was less varied but still exceptional. We had our breakfast on the Conservatory Restaurant and there was a wide variety of continental food, juices, cereal and toast. There were also breakfast items that could be made to order, and these were delicious and very well presents. Again, the staff waiting on the tables were faultless and attended to whatever you required. The hotel itself is in its own grounds on the outskirts of Aberdeen very close to main roads/bypass for accessibility. We ventured into Aberdeen by Taxi and was only a 10 min ride. There is a spa onsite also, but we did not use this facility. On the whole an exceptional experience and we will definitely be back.

Cons:

Everything was exceptional from start to finish
