Hotels near Vision Express Opticians - Aberdeen, Aberdeen

Stayed here over a month in July. Was a wonderful place to explore Aberdeen, Deeside and Speyside. The hotel is situated in central Aberdeen just off Union street. It’s s new property in a pedestrian area with a parking area below. Unfortunately the parking area is a) hard to get to (mapping software such as Google maps cannot find it) and b) not directly linked to the hotel ( staff can access the area outside the parking garage if access elevator access is required - just buzz the hotel and ask). Not sure at all why it was designed this way as it’s a simple change of doors to allow customer access to the hotel with a key card, and still allow staff access to their restricted areas. Customer service at the hotel was excellent in all areas: front-desk, bar staff, restaurant and housekeeping - impressive. Room was comfortable if a little compact compared to some Residence Inns. The room lacked a few cooking dishes/ items. None appeared to be available on-request. Breakfast was great with an extensive selection plus additional items available to order. Cooking is easy as easy to prepare meals & groceries are very easy to stock as there is a Marks& Spencer food hall less than 100 yards/meters away.

I was really happy with my room at Charles Hope Aberdeen and I would stay again. The room including the bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. The staff were also friendly and helpful, and the building itself is very clean and stylish. The only thing that was negative and was frustrating for me was that there was no lamp, only very bright ceiling lights, so there was no option for less bright lighting. I dislike very bright lights and especially in the evening when I want to wind down and read a book, I prefer much dimmer lighting. If I knew there was no lamp I would have bought a camping light or something. Adding a small lamp into the rooms wouldn't be expensive and it would really complete it. I enjoyed my 4 night stay anyway. Thank you.

Clean hotel with nice big rooms and great facilities, the microwave and fridge were great added extras. My husband has a weird obsession with showers so he loved the rain shower haha. The staff we dealt with were all very friendly too. We will definitely be back again.

The location is very good, you can go out to the center of Aberdeen, the hardware is similar to the ordinary three-star hotel in China, it meets the basic needs and the sanitary conditions are good. I chose the room rate without breakfast, and the extra 9.9 pound buffet breakfast is very good. If the parking lot is full, you can park in a nearby parking lot.

Stayed at The Caledonian Aberdeen as a birthday treat whilst out seeing a friend. The rooms are clean, if a little dated, but the TV is massive and has HDMI ports and Android casting. Biggest thing about this stay though was the service at the bar. The food was good and 5g4 service exceptional. Sophie was amazing. Single-handedly manning the bar and never showing any sign of stress as more and more customers arrived. Each customer was cordially greated and all were given exceptional attention throughout their bar experience. Highly recommended.

The main reason is that the sound insulation effect of the room is average, and the people next door can feel clearly when opening and closing the door and walking in the corridor. It happened that we needed to go to bed early on Friday night because we had to catch an early Saturday morning flight, and Aberdeen people like to go to bars late on that Friday night. I was disturbed by the people next door coming and going, so I didn’t sleep good. Everything else is perfect, and the hotel service staff is also very enthusiastic, answering every question. The hotel is located in the city center, 3 minutes walk from the train station, and there are many convenience stores around.

On arrival we were left waiting for nearly a hour even though we had booked online the cooked breakfast was good on the Saturday morning however on the Sunday morning it was overcooked no toast no alternative also on the Saturday morning the breakfast area was so untidy with dirty plates on nearly all vacant seats the good point was we got a great sleep on the Friday however on the Saturday about 2am we were rudely awakened by a guest shouting and screaming in the corridor

We stayed here for 2 nights as a family whilst my husband was working. The entrance to the hotel was lovely, a beautiful aroma in the air and very helpful staff on the reception. On entrance to the lifts, everything seemed clean and fresh. The rooms were large. We had a double and a single bed, and still had plenty room for a pram and our bags. The shower was powerful and hot which was lovely and fresh towels each day. There was a kettle with plenty tea/coffee to choose from. The beds were comfortable. There was a heating/air con remote however regardless of what we did, the room cooled at night time, waking our little one who likes to be snug as a bug. After night one, I left the room for it to be made up and although the room was cleaned - the bed was “thrown”together the way I could have done it myself. None of the covers were “tidied” under, making it like a fresh bed again for that evening which was disappointing. There were also a number of marks on the bathroom tiles and up on the ceiling which could have easily been sprayed and wiped down, I’m sure. Perhaps a little more attention to detail with certain things. There was an ice machine on our floor - didn’t work. However reception brought some up for us which was good. There is a lovely large bar area on entrance to the hotel. I was looking for somewhere to have a coffee on day 1 however was informed I could only have takeaway coffee as they didn’t open until noon. I found this a bit strange as there were a lot of business people with laptops who were instead sat on the couches outside the bar area when in fact, they could have had a comfortable seat with a coffee in the bar area. Maybe something to think about? It’s a shame as I had met up with a group of 6 of us plus our kids and we would have all ordered food and drink but instead had to make our way to Starbucks.

Simple but clean. It’s close to the bus station from and to the train and ferry station. Would be nice if the WiFi signal is more stable

A few minutes away from aberdeen. Be prepared to ride the bus or have a car/bike available. Hotel renovated in 2021, modern, clean interior. Spa includes a new and clean steam room and sauna at no additional cost. English breakfast & coffee were ok.
