A very large hotel with pool and gym facilities on the southern edge of Aberdeen. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable and pool was small but clean. I did not use the bar or restaurant. The area around the hotel is uninteresting so a car is advisable. Staff helpful.

Quick Weekend Reset
Altens Hotel in Aberdeen is now our new Family Fav. Their breakfast buffet (additional cost) is one of the better ones. Staff are fairly young but still kind. They have a separate very small kids pool which was a plus for the little one. Pool room can feel very congested and loud when busy as to be expected. Some things in the room can be updated where you can obviously see wear and tear. If Altens would love to give me an awesome discount my family would be their weekly!

It was very busy but we got pretty good service and breakfast was really good. Rooms were very comfortable. Parking however was a nightmare. The car park was full of giant potholes and they make you pay to use it! The spaces were also not outlined so it was difficult trying to park properly.

Staff excellent. Food could be slightly better. Beds are rock hard and pillows lumpy. Would have been 5 star all round except for those wee negatives. Beds don’t provide a good sleep at all. If these things sorted, it would be perfect.

Family mini break
Great sized family room with clean and comfortable beds. Staff were all helpful and friendly. Breakfast area was spotless and plenty space between tables. Wasn't a lot of space to get food and drinks in the actual buffet area as it was busy, but it was the summer holidays when we went. My son enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the sauna and steam room were good too. Not a huge pool for getting a proper swim but my son enjoyed it. Easy car journey into Aberdeen to visit all the local sights. Would stay here again as it was great value for money and a good hotel.

We enjoyed our first stay at Aberdeen Altens Hotel, the staff were all very welcoming and friendly. It’s a great location for being out of the hustle & bustle of the city centre. We got the bus into town which was great as no parking fees etc. we used the pool which was brilliant, caters for all and isn’t overcrowded. The restaurant was spacious and lovely, relaxing interior, breakfast was great, really good variety. Our room was nice, spacious and on the ground floor, only negative I have is there was a long hair on the bath tap the bath was clean so not too much of an issue, the bottom of the bathroom door was chipped all along the bottom the wood looked like it was ruined from water. The beds are on wheels so moved very easily which wasn’t ideal with a toddler, under the beds really needed a hoover as the were dusty however, the beds were clean as was the rest of the room. We stayed in room 134 and will definitely stay at the Altens again.

The hotel was ok, Shame the lifts were out of order during our stay, I wasn’t happy with them having the car park repaired while people were using it as the contractors were cutting the car park floor and dust and stones covering parked cars (not thoughtful at all)
