Good Points: great room, good price
Bad Points: i disliked being made to wait ages with heavy bags while the receptionist went to get my change but instead, went to answer a phone for 10 mins then stop after that to chat to a collegue while i was standing around waiting for my change and key which she had in her hand! that was the only downfall of the hotel

Good Points: The expansive lounge where one could relax all day and evening if one wished. The friendly staff and their willingness to accomodate our needs - keep our luggage after check out time; allow us to meet up after my son's interview.
Bad Points: The building site view from our bedroom window. The high beds and slippery bedclothes.
Further Comments: Would consider staying here again. Perfect location for us/ eating arrangements were very flexible and the staff very friendly. Liked the general atomosphere and the design of the hotel. Thank you.

Good Points: The individual rooms were stylish
Bad Points: The bar area was nice but the hotel had functions on both nights and on the second night the function took over the whole bar area so it wasn't possible to use the bar without being in the middle of a function.
Further Comments: I would like to have been told that the hotel held functions at the weekend and that these would involve the use of the hotel bar. One of the reasons that I picked this hotel was because it had a nice bar and seemed to have good reception areas but on both nights our use of these was limited due to the functions. Whilst I have said I would recommend the hotel this is only because it was a nice boutique hotel in Aberdeen and there aren't really any others but I would also recommend to anyone booking that they check hat events the hotel are holding

Good Points: The public areas are very smart indeed. The room I was staying in wasn't so recently decorated but clean and comfortable nevertheless. All the staff very friendly and helpful.
Bad Points: It's not such a great area. The immediate vicinity is a poorly lit area of cobbled streets and even I didn't feel comfortable walking around after dark. The choice on the evening menu was very limited although the food was of good quality. A minor niggle - the TV reception was awful. I'd expect to at least have basic digital channels but not to have BBC1 was poor and Sky Sports2 gets tiresome very quickly.

Good Points: The Laundry Suite is a very unusual layout giving plenty of space and is very tastfully furnished. Realy liked the bath and shower!
Bad Points: The main room could do with some better lighting for shaving and for a woman to don her make up.Im being very picky here.

Good Points: Decor and furnishings in the room/bathroom were excellent.
Bad Points: Window did not shut properly due to their age/state of repair.
Further Comments: I was astounded that you have contracted window cleaners to start so early! I was woken up at half 6 by a brush thumping the window! Also, the bar prices are on the high side.
