Nice place to stay.

Very comfortable and spacious room. The shower was amazing. Good intenet and tv. Walking distance to the busy section of Aberdeen, yet a quiet area. Towel warmer in the bathroom. I did like the electronic locks on the doors, no need to worry about losing a key. The staff were helpful and friendly. Only complaint would be is that breakfast was listed as starting at 8, but nothing was ready, so we were not able to partake.

The Highland Hotel (now merged with the Brentwood Hotel next door) is on Crown Street, less than ten minutes walk from Aberdeen bus and train station. It is just off Union Street which is the main central street in Aberdeen (the equivalent of Princes Street, Edinburgh - sort of!). We stayed for 3 days, breakfast included. The room, towels, and bed linen were spotless. But the whole hotel is 'tired'. There is no lift, but the reception man will carry up the cases for you. Usual tea and biscuits in the room. hairdryer, iron and board. and case stand. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, kind and cheerful. Responsive to any requests. The breakfasts were as good as in any hotel.(could be hotter at times) And they need a newer, quicker, toaster! The hotel is an excellent centre for travel in the Aberdeen area. Since 2 hotels have merged the room numbers are similar, so ensure which of the 2 hotels you are booked in at.

The hotel cancelled our stay at 21:00 in the evening, leaving a hastily garbled message that our room wasn't available due to "maintenance." Interestingly, we were actually unable to attend due to a medical emergency, and were in the process of seeing if we could get a refund (though we knew it was unlikely) when they called us, obliviously unaware of our ongoing refund request. HOWEVER, they refused ALL refund requests from expedia, lying and saying that we HAD attended, and that they can confirm we were at the hotel and used the room. All this despite the fact that THEY cancelled on us, with a voicemail to prove it. And that I wasn't within 50 miles of the place. Look through the reviews, they've done this kind of thing before - as well as the fact that the hotel is not the Highland City Center, but actually "Oyo" hotel, or possibly Brentwood? This place is clearly a scam - either they have massively fewer rooms than they claim for whatever reason, or it is a simple scam where they frequently cancel on people for monetary benefit. Expedia refused to do anything about them, continuously siding with them for some reason, but did issue a discretionary refund on their end after about 2 hours on the phone. Goes without saying, but: Avoid.

I stayed for five nights and was delighted with the quality of the room facilities, breakfast and service. This is a budget hotel, but the double room I stayed in was lovely and clean with a fabulous en suite, a nice big TV and comfortable bed. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with a great choice of cold and hot options, served buffet style. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, especially Reuben and the young woman who served breakfast. I had a fabulous stay and would definitely return whenever I need accommodation in Aberdeen. For an affordable, comfortable hotel ideally located in the city centre, this hotel is a perfect choice. I would highly recommend. Thank you to the staff team for a lovely stay!

It's says the Highland hotel but it was really was the Brentwood hotel or maybe oyo.. who knows. So confusing.. we just went to the address and Asked inside the oyo where the highland hotel was and told we were in the right place.. I asked if I could park on the street but they didn't mention they had a car park around the back.. it was pretty cheap so for one night it was okay and breakfast wasn't to bad either

Room smelled musty. Wardrobe door had been damaged and was off it's rails. Water damage to the insides of the drawers. Staining on the walls. Carpets worn and shabby. Bathroom door was badly damaged. Shower took ages to heat up, and shower head caked in limescale. No housekeeping during our stay, no A/C in the room. Beds shoddy with thin, uncomfortable mattresses, torn and stained cushions on the beds. Only plus is that the location is fairly convenient for Union Street. Avoid at all costs.

Basic accommodation. Room had marks on the wall showing that it once had a television. Breakfast coffee was sachets of Nescafé and an urn of hot water. Had a Kellogg variety box of cereal and decided to skip the rest of breakfast and find a cafe.
