Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen
The room iteslf was clean, as was the bathroom. However there was hair & other small debris in the drawers in the room. A small fridge would have been helpful as the room was hot. Breakfast was good, we’d no other meals there. We paid for a late checkout yet our key cards stopped working 30 mins ...

Station Hotel Aberdeen
Clean updated room was very nice. It can be a bit noisy outside during the night with traffic but not enough to keep me from sleeping. Buffet style breakfast was lovely but a little cold even though we were there as it opened, eggs not soft either.

Rox Hotel Aberdeen by Compass Hospitality
Really good location, 3 minutes walk from NCP Shiprow. Quick easy check in. My room was larger than I expected and quite comfortable. Only thing I’d comment on was that the mugs had some coffee stains on them, but it’s such a small thing.
