Top Central Aberdeen Hotel Reviews

Brentwood Aberdeen City Centre near Union Street

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. The gentleman on reception was so helpful, I can’t remember his name. Brilliant service from him."

Residence Inn by Marriott Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel, location and staff were excellent. It was just what we needed after a few days in Edinburgh and a long drive. Loved the self-service laundry facilities too. Although, they need to find ways to prevent guests leaving their clothes in for longer than needed. Breakfast was also good. I woukd definitely stay there again. Special thanks to Hayley on the front desk who came down to meet us and collected our bags, when we were trying to find parking."

Mercure Aberdeen Caledonian Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was an ideal size for me travelling alone. Perhaps a little small if two using the room. The double bed was a good size. Sockets are not conveniently located in the room so take a longer charger cable so that your phone can be charged on the bedside unit, of which, there was only one. I noticed straight away that the lighting was too dim for my needs. I have to put every one on to get to a reasonable level but it was still on the "romantic meal out" end of the brightness scale. The shower curtain was badly fitted so didn't cover the bath end, only the side as it had all the rings on one side of the ceiling mounted bar. The hotel location was perfect for the gardens across the street, His Majesty's Theatre (200m away) and Union Street main shops. I got a great deal a few days before travelling which included breakfast. Breakfast was fresh, plentiful and covered every food type you'll want from a morning meal before heading out to explore."
