Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic. Been numerous time"

Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay!!! Really well priced"

Station Hotel Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent

"The room was better than expected and housekeeping did a great job for the duration of my stay. Staff was helpful and, because the room I was supposed to have was not ready, they did not hesitate to give me another room. The internet was reliable and stable. I did not experienced the breakfast fare as I had some gluten free fare with me, but I tried the high tea lunch when I arrived and the food was good as well a reasonably priced."

Macdonald Norwood Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Was pleasantly suprised with our stay, staff were friendly and attentive . Rooms lovely , clean and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, the French toast was a nice option. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would visit again."

Apartrooms

10/10 Excellent

"A clean and modern apartment with all you need for a short stay. You had to do a online checking and were given a code to open the door. There is no front desk. and there didn't need to be. all the information was provided and had no issue getting into the room. If I had one criticism it was the use of blinds on the smaller windows, I'd have preferred curtains like on the big windows. A couple of the blinds were bent, solved it by keeping the bathroom door open which blocked the bedroom window. But that did not distract from the stay. Easy to get to, easy to check in, clean, tidy with all you need at a good price for what you get. I'd stay again in a heartbeat."

Marcliffe

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place,definitely 5 stars. Would stay again. Loved everything about it. The food at the restaurant was the best we had in Scotland so far."

Cove Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Always a pleasant stay and the food is always good"
