Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was generally pleasant. The rooms were nice and clean but a bit small for a 'Double' room. Only having one chair was not ideal, and there wasn't enough space to fit another anyway. The cleanliness and modernity of the rooms, however, were impressive, and the place was very quiet, which I appreciated.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room, while not large, was adequate and nicely updated, with a wonderful bathroom. It was clean, and the bed was comfy. The service was exceptional, the staff was helpful and polite, giving us valuable local recommendations. The location was good, with ample parking, and the view of the sea was lovely. The dining experience was a highlight, especially in the morning with a water view. Overall, a cozy and welcoming hotel with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were cozy and well-appointed, although slightly smaller than expected. The bed, although comfortable, could have been larger. The wallpaper in some areas could use an upgrade, but the bathroom was excellent. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff, especially the evening manager. The location suited my business needs and had a good atmosphere. The dining experience was excellent with high-quality products and a beautiful view over the Bay. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor improvements needed.
I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location was fantastic, close to Aberdeen city center and offering a sweet and fun area to walk around. The rooms, although showing a bit of wear and tear, were decent with a lovely window facing the street. The service was amazing, with helpful staff and a welcoming atmosphere. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with dinner being amazing but breakfast a bit disjointed. Overall, a great choice if you're looking for good quality accommodation outside the usual chains.
The hotel room was very comfortable with a big walk-in shower that felt heavenly, although there was some noise before 7 am. Ideally, a sea view would have been perfect.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although clean and spacious enough, were a bit dated but still comfortable. I appreciated being moved to the new wing to enjoy my stay. The location, overlooking the sea during an excellent vegetarian breakfast, was a highlight but was slightly marred by the view of the neighboring wall. Dining was a pleasant experience with delicious cooked-to-order meals, although a lesson in improving variety could be learned. Overall, the hotel has its charm and some improvements could make it even better.
