Staff were very friendly. Room and bed very comfortable. Very quiet. Lovely grounds. Room very clean except for a stain on the carpet and odd orange splashes, perhaps condensation on the bathroom ceiling. Notvwhat onecexpects in a 5 ☆ hotel. Breakfasts were good with an excellent choice. However there were NO labels on food on the breakfast buffet- no GF items labelled. When I asked for GF meusli they said there was none. Overall a lovely stay but this is not a 5☆ hotel. Overpriced for what it is as the room furniture is scuffed although the bathroom was of high quality. Nice to have fresh fruit and bottles of water and milk left in the room each day.

Fabulous Marcliffe.

From the second we got close to the door we were greeted like returning friends. The hotel is fabulous and whilst having that great place is very good, it is the staff who make the difference. They were awesome! We will definitely return.

The Marcliffe maintains its status as a top hotel in Aberdeen. Comfortable rooms. Breakfast is stunning. Checkout was an endurance - 15 minute wait due to reception taking calls for the restaurant. More staff on for check out would help that.

A great family hotel

A wonderful hotel, super friendly and happy to help with everything. Also very accommodating of our 6 month old baby, giving us a bigger room for the cot and also making a baby breakfast. The rooms are very comfortable.
