Good Points: Comfortable with all necessary facilities
Bad Points: In flightpath for Aberdeen Airport. Bathroom had a few faults which didn't affect our stay but it may discourage others.
Further Comments: This hotel is recommended. Staff were very helpful and service was excellent. Restaurant and Bar Meals were both of high quality as was the breakfast. Restaurant meal prices may be a little high for some guests but were well worth the cost.

Good Points: Spacious, comfortable room, inexpensive.
Further Comments: Convenient location close to the airport but only a short car or bus journey to the city. I had a very comfortable and well-equipped room, which was extremely quiet despite the proximity to the airport. Excellent value for money.

Good Points: The room was probably the best for the money that my wife and I have ever stayed in.
Bad Points: The pillows were a bit on the thin side though I'm sure if we had asked that failing would have been rectified
Further Comments: From a previous review that I read on line I expected to hear quite a bit of aircraft noise, but I can honestly say my wife and didn't notice anything excessive. The tariff was about the same as we usually pay for a Hotel stay. The accommodation far exceeded our expectations, clean and very well appointed with a good firm bed that ensured a sound sleep for the two nights we were there. We dined both nights in the Bar and the food was reasonably priced and of excellent quality. As you would expect for a City with it's fishing links, the fish was excellent and the chef cooks a mean chili con carne and hot spicy Lamb pasanda. Very tasty On the second night we discovered why we had been placed at the far away end of the Hotel. A wedding reception was taking place and the Hotel Staff had thoughtfully placed us well away from where the function was taking place, which was very thoughtful of them

Good Points: The fact that we (mother and two daughters) could all share the same suite
Bad Points: Daughter who was in the sofa bed found it a little uncomfortable
Further Comments: Pleasant overnight stay - although we did hear a couple of noisy planes first thing in the morning. Good check in and check out. Breakfast was first class with good service and choice of menu. Apart from breakfast we did not dine in hotel. Everything very clean and all in all would book again if staying in Aberdeen.
