Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The website photographs were nothing like the room we had. Rankef excellent, The room was tired, worn, and not nice. The windows were very drafty and the room was noisy all through the night til 5 in the morning. The shower door was of its hinges, the handle hanging off, and the shower tray had a full crack in ir the room needed total refurbishing.

Comfortable but dated, the serviced apartments have just enough for your stay. To enter you need to call the reception to open the nondescript and fairly poorly signed black door, which was difficult to find. Location is convenient for exploration, but being directly above BrewDog and across from the casino, I found the rowdy crowd below frequently very noisy around 3am.

Tired and shabby. Lots of things slightly broken (e.g shower and front door which was permanently open). Room shabby but acceptably clean.

The hotel was in an ideal location, easy to walk to from the train station and in the right position for all amenities for shopping and entertainment. The apartment was clean and comfortable with all essential items needed. There’s plenty of places to eat and drink and there’s Tesco extra close by if you have forgotten anything. Enjoyed our stay very much and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Hottest hotel in Aberdeen.

The hotel is very run down and many things are broken. Toilet seat broken. Aircon didn't work so asked to move and was given a fan. The room was unbearable hot.
