The Chester Hotel
Stated at the hotel for 2 nights and it was fabulous! Our room, Harlow Suite, was gorgeous and included a free stocked refrigerator. Staff very attentive and courteous. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Not a huge selection, but just enough of a selection to satisfy everyone. I highly recommend this ...

Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa
We always stay at the Sandman Hotel when we're in Aberdeen as we absolutely love it! We were part of a large group staying for my 40th birthday celebration and everyone really enjoyed their stay.

Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen
While the room we had was clean and tidy, the general appearance seemed 'tired'. For example the laminate covering on the bedside table had blistered making it uneven. The bathroom was clean but the finishing needed to be redone, for example the sealant on the bath.
