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.

The hotel is located in a nice quiet historic neighborhood. Although there was a problem with noise from a nearby bar, the stillness of the village during the week made for a peaceful stay. Being close to Dunnottar Castle and having easy access to Aberdeen by bus within 20 minutes was convenient.

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.
