Nice room with fantastic bus and airport links.
Pros:

Very convenient for bus links, especially to the airport. The Ember bus stop was just 1 min from the accommodation and the main route for most city buses. Was a very simple room (but description did say that) but ideal for me needing just a bed for the night before flying the next morning. Host was very kind and understanding. Prepare yourself if you have lots of heavy luggage that the room is up a curved staircase.

Cons:

Just a personal preference, the room had a very small mirror in it. Granted the bathroom had a bigger one but for travellers who might be more inclined to stay in their room, a larger mirror might be a consideration. For those wondering about the view. There was no view as room had only a skylight.

Reasonbly priced.
Pros:

Convenient to have a kitchen to cook and you can save some money compared to eating out.

Cons:

Rooms are bit old fashioned and not so super clean.

Completely unsatisfactory
Pros:

Spacious room

Cons:

The front door handle was broken and lock therefore did not work. Whenever you tried to lock the door, the handle came off! Literally anybody could have walked in off the street.
I was told the lock on my bedroom door was all that I needed!

Also, the lady "looking after" the place seemed to have friends/family in every night eating dinner. They also left rubbish on several occasions, which I had to discard of. She also took up parking space so I could physically not enter.

There was also half cooked meals and food stored in fridge, some of which smelled.

There was also a crack down my bedroom door.

Struttura trasandata e abbandonata a se stessa.
Pros:

Cucina molto fornita e possibilità di self check in

Cons:

Casa molto sporca, cucina molto unta e sporca. Le serrature sono difficili da aprire e chiudere nonostante il tutorial, molte cose rotte e trasandate. Cattivo odore all'ingresso e piano terra. Oggetti personali sporchi lasciati ovunque, in bagno, in cucina. Personale completamente assente e non disponibile a rispondere subito in caso di necessità (ci hanno cambiato camere 3 ore dopo l'arrivo perché la abbiamo trovata aperta e non ancora ripulita e cambiata)

Excellent value but needs some TLC
Pros:

Very good accommodation for the price - bedroom was clean, comfortable and secure. I was able to park on the driveway although it is only really possible for 1 or 2 cars to park outside without blocking each other in. The bathroom facilities worked well and I was provided with 2 clean towels. It was also great to have access to some basic breakfast supplies including cereal and bread. Excellent value.

Cons:

The house is quite run down and could do with some care, for example the front door handle was falling off and the internal doors were very stiff. The oven was not working and looked dirty although there was a microwave. The labelling of breakfast foods could be clearer - although cereal and bread were laid out it was not clear whether guests could use milk or jam as it was in a fridge with other personal items, some of which were significantly out of date.

My stay was bizarre.
Pros:

The location suited us. The room was fine. The shower and toilet was very nice.

Cons:

There was no key box outside to collect keys from.
The front door was open. I walked in and found my room.

I had no keys for my room. There were none in the room.
I was not given keys by the couple running the accomodation.
I forgot to ask them for keys as I assumed they would be around.

I went to leave the building to get something from my car but found I was locked in the accommodation with no keys to get out. The couple seemed to have left and locked the front door. The back door was also locked.

I had to wake up another resident who had keys to open the front door and then sleep with the front door slightly ajar all night so I would be sure to be able to get out in the morning.

Pros:

The property was very handy for the university where we were going

Cons:

Front door was "dodgy" to open as the handle was very loose. The kitchen/dining room was untidy, dirty dishes in the sink. The conservatory was a no-go zone due to laundry. The breakfast was very basic- cereal or toast but no butter.

Pros:

Das Bett ist sehr groß und bequem!

Cons:

Das Einchecken ist ein Erlebnis! Man bekommt schon eine Anleitung wie die Tür funktioniert um es zu schaffen, jedoch hatte ich trotzdem mehrfach die Türklinke in der Hand... Die Stufen im Haus sind ziemlich steil

Pleasant stay, auntie susi was very kind to show me around Aberdeen! She helped me solved the heating problems as well (
Pros:

it’s near the uni (just a 5-mins walk), hence the reason i booked this room. The room was very spacious, had a very relaxing stay!
