Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were very friendly and professional and nothing was too much trouble for them. The hotel is ideally located as a base for touring or for the airport. I personally found the noise of the aeroplanes too loud as the room shook at times when they went past and that is the only reason I would not personally stay here again. The room was comfortable and spacious ...bathroom modern but the bedroom itself slightly dated. Was clean and tidy throughout. The car park is free which is always a bonus in Aberdeen. I did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food.

This hotel was ok, although the staff could have been more attentive. The food options for dinner were great, and I did find that service better than the hotel in general. The room was quite small and the 'wet room' concept never works well!

Quiet, Comfortable, Convenient

Perfectly located for P&J Live - less than a 5 minute walk. Stayed for two nights, very quiet and I slept very well. Breakfast was really good and so much variety. M&S Foodhall and Co-op 10 minute walk. Would recommend.
