Un salto ad Aberdeen
Pros:

La camera era accogliente, lo staff (da remoto) molto gentile e rapido nelle risposte, la posizione ottima

Cons:

Il posto risente dei locali a livello stradale, si sentiva un po' di rumore la notte. In più, le luci di emergenza del bagno e corridoio illuminavano la stanza un po' troppo per chi necessita di buio per dormire

Central location but bad soundproofing!!! Not for those that like to sleep undisturbed at night
Pros:

Location is great. It's close to lots of restaurants, shopping stores and the bus stops.

The room was also pretty spacious, clean and comfortable

Cons:

Soundproofing is very bad. You hear people across the street in the outside bar even with the windows closed. Also, you can hear people in the rooms across from you. Mine was soo bad that I heard the person next door snoring throughout the night. They snored so loud and so bad thay it felt like they were in the room with me. Needless to say, it was a sleepless night for me.

Another issue I had was with the door. I'm sure Aberdeen is a very safe place, but the door seemed quite old, flimsy and something that could be easily broken into. I don't know if I can recommend this place to solo traveling women in particular. Nothing happened when I was there, but the door just didn't seem secure enough for me.

Lastly, given the size of the room, a small fridge would have been nice to have but it's not a deal breaker.

Unexpected comfort and great value
Pros:

This is the first time staying at a hotel like this just above a business, so I didn't entirely know what to expect. If you are looking for a very clean and comfortable room with no frills, then this is the place for you. If you don't have a car, this location seems pretty close to a lot of food and shops. Parking a car falls into the dislike category, as there is no parking, but with the two of us we were able to park in a loading area just long enough to drop off luggage then go park. Although the area around the entrance felt a little sketchy, once inside the pass code protected door, the building felt clean and safe. Aside from the parking issues, it was a great stay for the one night we were in town.

Cons:

I did not like that there is no on-site parking, and the nearest lot was about a 15 minute walk away: but that was mentioned ahead of time so I cannot fault the hotel. Also, my buddy mentioned some street noise from his room, but that is somewhat expected in a street-facing room. Entrance is almost in an alley.

Relaxing and comfortable.
Pros:

Location very central for city. we visited to attend a theatre show and was very conveniently situated, a short walk. Although central, it is in a quiet side street. Room was spacious and meticulously clean. Wide range of teas/coffees provided and a biscuit. Smart TV gave us the opportunity to watch a film late on after returning, an unexpected bonus. Finally, the shower was amazing, with luxury toiletries provided. A most comfortable stay, exceeded our expectations.

Cons:

Would have liked breakfast provided. The rooms are up two short flights of stairs, not an issue for us at all but those with mobility ossues may struggle.

Excellent, clean comfortable stay.
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable, very pleasant man greeted us and the rooms were lovely fresh and very comfortable, breakfast was lovely too

Cons:

Car parking ATM isn’t close by, due to many roads being closed for work, however this isn’t the fault of the property and would still go back and book with confidence.

Pros:

Everything was great, and I liked how the "coffee shop" breakfast included was at 9-10 instead of the usual 6.30 am that most hotels have.

Cons:

- pillows were too thick and stiff so I used the thin decorative ones
- There is only a fixe overhead shower and no bidet or a shower head... so every time you go to the toilet, if you want to wash after you have to take a full shower.

Pros:

This is my favourite place to stay in Aberdeen - it’s so cosy, right in the middle of town. Short walk from train station. Communication is excellent and nothing is too much trouble.
