I've been in similar hotels before in Aberdeen that were ok, but I stayed in this hotel for 8 weeks and could not find a fault anywhere. All the staff are extremely friendly, polite and professional, from the girls in reception to the restaurant/bar staff - always making you feel welcome. The room quality/cleanliness was done to a high standard... More

Good location which is ideal for access to Alten Estate. As you would expect a lot of rig workers mid week. Big hotel with good facilities. Service good. Rooms clean and a good size with comfortable beds. Free parking which is a bonus.

Unusually for Aberdeen the hotel is staffed by friendly staff who actually make you feel welcome. I have stayed at this hotel half a dozen times during the past 6 months and each time I have felt very happy with the accommodation and service. The gym is well-equipped, the breakfast is excellent, even though the hotel is quite old now... More

We stayed on Saturday the 1st of June. The Hotel is just perfect. Very clean with big rooms, good size bathrooms, good facilities to use. Location is good, only 12 minutes from Aberdeen City Centre The staff was extremely helpful and polite. Breakfast was perfect too, a selection of European and Scottish. Very good experience!
