The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city, within walking distance of shops and amenities. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it the perfect spot for a short break. The service provided was exceptional, with friendly staff who ensured a pleasant stay. However, the dining options could be improved, offering a standard range similar to chain hotels. Overall, the value for money was good, even though there was an extra charge of £50 which could be refunded later.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was great for a 1-2 night stay, although for a longer visit, I might opt for a bigger room. It was clean, and the daily service was prompt. The location overlooking the main road outside, after requesting a quiet room, was a plus.

The service was amazing, especially from Wednesday, who couldn't do enough to accommodate our requests. However, there was a situation where master keys were used to open bedroom doors, which was inconvenient. Also, making rude comments about other guests is unacceptable behavior.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with a minimalist design, ideal for a good night's sleep. The staff was lovely and helpful, although seemed busy at times. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of all city center venues. The dining experience remains adequate but could offer more vegetarian options. Overall, a convenient choice with some minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and spacious, but unfortunately, they were located next to a noisy main street, which disturbed my sleep. The breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of choices, but the room rate was higher than advertised. Being across from a bakery that caters to late-night customers from pubs and clubs meant only getting two hours of sleep before deciding to have breakfast and head home to rest.

The hotel rooms were spotless and extremely comfortable, making me already plan my next stay, possibly next weekend. The service, though helpful and attentive, had some issues with non-blue badge customers. The location was a mixed bag with noise from a nearby nightclub but also convenient for exploring the town. The dining options were okay but had some limitations in availability. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor hiccups.

The hotel rooms were comfortable and facilities clean with a good selection of hot food, but the coat hangers were not usable, which could be inconvenient for a family. The rooms were well-organized and included various amenities, making the size difference insignificant compared to similar standard rooms. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff and spotless rooms, although the bakery outside was a highlight. The location was perfect for shopping and eating, with a big breakfast included in the price. However, the dining experience fell short with limited choices. Overall, a good value hotel with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel provided rooms of a good size that were clean and comfortable. The early morning noise was a downside, but overall, it was a very acceptable place to stay for the price paid. The service was lacking in being serviceminded and experienced some disturbances. The location was central but noisy, especially due to nearby nightlife. The dining experience, although of high quality, suffered from chaos in service. Some facilities needed improvement. The pricing offered decent value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean, fresh, and modern but unfortunately, the street-facing location meant I couldn't sleep until 4.30 am due to noise from outside. The location in the center of Aberdeen city center was convenient but noisy. The dining experience had high-quality options but was lacking in variety and slow to replenish. Overall a comfortable stay with some drawbacks.
