However, the kitchen laminate floor moved (not safe near cooker and sink) Master bedroom toilet virtually unusable. Entry stairwell stinks of cigarette’s with tabs all over floor and stairs. Nice car park but you need to leave your car to open the entry gate with deep flooded road making it a challenge. It is a fabulous location though, close...

Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen

Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent
"The room was nice and clean and bright with a great view of the train station. And the hotel was attached to the train station and Union Square which was very helpful when I arrived by train at 10:00 at night. I did have trouble finding the street entrance since I arrived so late at night - the main entrance is through the mall. The hotel is modern and much newer than most buildings in the area. It can't get any closer to the train station and bus station, and the shopping mall is a bonus."

Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lovely stay in a beautiful historic house Ardoe House is a grand and impressive building, with beautiful panelled walls and plenty of character. The staff were excellent throughout our stay—friendly, welcoming and attentive. Our Classic Room was spacious and comfortable, with an excellent shower in the bathroom. There were also plenty of plug sockets in convenient locations around the bedroom, which was a nice practical touch. The dining room is very well presented and provides a lovely setting for dinner. The lamb main course was absolutely stunning and definitely the highlight of the meal. We did, however, feel that the starters and desserts were somewhat overpriced for what was served. Outside, the grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, providing a pleasant setting around the house. The location is also very convenient, being only around 15 minutes from Aberdeen city centre while still offering the feel of a country house retreat. Overall, a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful historic property, with great staff, comfortable rooms and an excellent main course. A solid 4-star experience as advertised."

"The check-in process was disappointing because I had to ask about nearly everything. The listing stated that a parking tag would be provided if parking was included, but none was given. When I asked, I was told that parking required an additional fee, which was then added to our room. The pool also costs extra, and unfortunately, it was not worth it. We went to use the hot tub but were told we couldn’t use it because the bubbles weren’t running. The staff member who told us was not friendly or helpful. My husband and son then attempted to swim, but two lanes were reserved for lap swimming and the remaining area was being used for swim lessons. My mother-in-law, who was fully dressed and not swimming, was even told she couldn’t use her phone to take a picture. The pool hours are also very limited, especially for families. If you are checking in and want your children to swim, you’ll need to go almost immediately. Needless to say, we left after about five minutes and felt like we had completely wasted our money."
