Aberdeen House

Good stay

Cosy, comfortable and short distance from the bus station - perfect stay!

Room: was extremely small and no ventilation whatsoever. With movement restrictions all around and packed end to end. I was almost scared to hear no windows in room but had no option due to short stay. None of the 3-pin sockets in room were working. No way to charge mobile phone. I managed to charge outside in mall rather than complaining. Shelves next to TV wall mounted was hanging in air with couple of screws which were not in holes properly and was posing a dropped object hazard and I was concerned about my own safety if it would fall on me while I am sleep. Reported and owner removed this with some argument saying I leaned over it to gain access to tv 3- point socket to charge my phone. This is clearly not the case as shelf was wooden and was resting over couple of screws half inserted in lower base but no fixtures whatsoever on the top to hold the frame. Everyone’s needs and priorities are different but for me personally it was a mistake having booked this hotel as I have stayed in multiple hotel chains in Aberdeen and UK and care and hospitality here was very different and was fully missing. Obviously, I asked the shelf storage to be removed due to worry around fall over but this came at the cost of no kettle , no cups and hence no tea ,coffee making and no hot water possibility for me 😃 during my stay.

It was a wonderful experience.. will always check in whenever I’m in aberdeen

very Good

Not really a hotel at all, more like a bail hostel. It cannot be judged alongside the 'normal' hotels we have relished during this trip. We recommend you avoid it. Firstly, there are two sets of security doors to pass through. There is no reception as such, no communal areas. Just a security screen, battened shut with plywood most of the time. The staff emerge to demand ID, then tell you the codes. All a bit odd. There is no lift. We were on the second floor. The room was very spacious but - equally odd - contained a bunk bed. This despite the rather brutal leaflet in the room telling you that it was strictly adults only in the hotel. Bluntly, any hotel that doesn't welcome children is no place for me. A truly horrible experience that nearly spoiled the visit to lovely Aberdeen! Worse, the sink was blocked. Reporting it the first evening resulted in an amateur attempt to unblock, leaving the sink clagged with gunk and slime for the next two nights. There was no curtain in the bathroom, just frosting on the giant sash window facing the office block opposite. It didn't feel private. Incredibly, there was a banging on the door at 9.51 this morning, reminding us to check out! Tidying the room included neatly restacking dirty coffee cups! All very peculiar. At the risk of repeating myself, this is NOT a proper tourist-friendly hotel. Probably a hostel with the staff making a bit on the side. Or something. Will advise booking site accordingly. Give it a miss at any price is my advice.

Firstly, if you have ANY form of mobility issues, this is not the place for you. NO LIFT. We were on the 3rd floor and had 6 flights of stairs to climb. Secondly, there is NO PARKING, even though it states there is. The rooms are clean, and serviceable. But unfortunately we will not be returning.
