Pros:

Das Hotel liegt wunderschön und man hat einen tollen Blick. Lunch und Dinner im Hotel sind auch super. Frühstück ist inklusive und bis auf Gemüse ist alles dabei. Das Personal ist weitestgehend super nett und zuvorkommend. Haben auch beim Koffer tragen geholfen.

Cons:

Gefühlt hat alles geklebt. Der Boden, die Tische, die Treppengeländer. Vermutlich ist es die Holzlasur, aber dennoch unangenehm.

Just what we hoped on the shore and harbor. The fresh air was wonderful.
Pros:

The location on the harbor was wonderful. Peaceful and not rushed, unlike the city center. It has beautiful views of the ocean. The continental breakfast was very nice. The staff are very pleasant and accommodating. Bonus is the pub on the first floor. It is within walking distance of Dunnotar Castle. Only possible downside is the lack of an elevator to the upper floors for the rooms. This could present a problem for mobility impaired persons.

Very welcoming and over too soon.
Pros:

Excellent harbour front location with fantastic sea view. Friendly service, tasty evening meal, lovely sea bass - not to mention the locally brewed ale. Sent on our way in the morning after an excellent breakfast.

Cons:

I'm trying to think but it was one of those stopovers that you'd like them all to be like.

Pros:

Only the position

Cons:

Our stay at THE MARINE HOTEL was simply awful. Let's start with the lack of customer service (us), as about an hour before our arrival, we messaged them via Booking.com to ask if it was still possible to have dinner at the hotel, given that we were due to arrive at 9:30 PM. We received no response. During check-in, I mentioned the request, and they confirmed they'd read the message and hadn't responded. They told us it was no longer possible to have dinner there. Second point: breakfast was included, but not available. During check-in, we asked for confirmation of breakfast times, and were told it was 9-10 AM. When we asked for assistance, given that we were supposed to leave around 7:30 AM, we were not provided with any assistance. We therefore paid for a service we didn't receive. We will be requesting a refund for this. Third point: the hotel and the room. When booking, the room was described as Deluxe, but there wasn't even a simple luggage rack inside, and there were three electrical sockets in the entire room. Fourth, the bathroom fan didn't work. When I asked for assistance or to change rooms, I was simply told that the hotel had a problem, an electrician had already been contacted, and there was nothing they could do other than apologize. This is quite serious and is related to the lack of customer service said before: they didn't inform us of the problem during check-in, leaving us to figure it out on our own. Furthermore, the bathroom fan was practically never cleaned (see picture). Finally, the hotel is just a collection of rooms above a pub. In fact, to reach the floors, you practically walk beside the pub's kitchen (photo of the stairs between the tomato boxes). A terrible experience, far from a deluxe room. So, at the end we will ask refund for breakfast paid and not avaible due their working hours and for the worst situation in the room.
