Moxy Aberdeen Airport

Moxy Aberdeen Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms good size and very clean, was at the side with the heliport and couldn’t hear a thing unless we opened the window. Comfy beds had a great sleep. Staff very attentive and polite. Made cocktails that weren’t on the menu a plus from my wife. Breakfast a slight let down some of the pastries were like they had sat all day would be better to have them more covered. Cooked breakfast was good only gripe again the sausages were ok but very herby, the bacon was just cooked and no more but tasty all the same. Another small issue was the temperature of the white it was look warm even with the dial turned fully past the stop. Overall The hotel has a good vibe about it which we enjoyed, overall great stay and will stay again. Would recommend."
