Terrible experience
Booked last minute to stay after spending a belated Christmas Day with family. Arrived after midnight and was taken to my room, got ready for bed and the bathroom fan wouldn’t go off, contacted reception and the night porter came and it still wouldn’t go off so he agreed to move me, he tried two rooms on the same floor both fans were on and loud. I was moved to a fourth room which luckily had a switch to turn the fan off but the radiator in the bathroom and next to the bed was extremely loud, turned both off and went to sleep. Woke up at 6am to a freezing room, turned the radiator back on and got no further sleep as it was so loud. In the morning went to use the shower and found bits of hair on the bathroom floor. Spoke to the manager before leaving who apologised and said to contact hotels.com for a refund; which I did when I got home. They phoned the hotel who stated there was no issue with the fan or radiator and refused a refund, I spoke to another manager who was insistent that there was no issue (if there was no issue why would I be moved to 4 rooms in the middle of the night and give myself the stress of complaining) so the refund was denied. She also made a comment re the price that I paid which was lower than other guests, on the day I booked this wasn’t the cheapest hotel in Aberdeen but was chosen for location and regardless of what you pay, you still expect to get a decent nights sleep in the hotel you are paying to use. Only positive was the breakfast.

Good Choice for us
Staff were very good and helpful. Good breakfasts and great to have server come and take orders for a freshly cooked breakfast. It was very convenient to the P & J Live venue where the event we were going to was held. Nice bar and prices reasonable

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful with requests. The room we had was small, and the bed was also small. Everything is kind of old and needs an update. The bathroom was awful as the shower was basically over the toilet and everything was soaked by the time you finished showering (toilet, vanity, floor). The bathroom was basically never dry, and if I showered that day and I could not use the toilet in socks because it's basically just a big puddle all the time.

Quiet, Comfortable, Convenient
Perfectly located for P&J Live - less than a 5 minute walk. Stayed for two nights, very quiet and I slept very well. Breakfast was really good and so much variety. M&S Foodhall and Co-op 10 minute walk. Would recommend.

Ideal comfort stop for then P&J or airport
Great stay for Michael Macintyre. Ideal location with just a 10 minute walk away. Free parking also. Comfortable room although a bit dated, but didn’t take away from the stay. Good nights sleep dispute a couple of planes from the airport. Very good breakfast and plenty choice. Large Scottish cooked breakfast and a full contintial with fresh baked and fruit. Will return if at another event and the P&J or at the airport.

The bar and restaurant looked great and enjoyed spending time there. The location of the hotel for P&J was brilliant. Sadly they changed our check out time from noon to 10.30am on our day of departure due to the number of new guests arriving, even though I booked well in advance of my stay. We were not informed of this until we arrived. Having recently been really ill I had purposely booked a hotel I didn’t need to rush out of in the morning and that I could use my room before needing to leave for my train. Being told that they would store my luggage and I could sit in the bar was not what I had paid for.
