Where my company squeezes all their employes traveling abroad. So naturally, this is a place we hit up pretty often for a meal and drinks. The building is gorgeous, an old church turned historical hotel and excellent restaurant. There is a granite bar, well I guess that is not that impressive considering the whole city is made of the stuff. Anyway, still an awesome place for a drink. A small dinning area behind the bar, and another dinning area/lounge as well. Two cask ales. This place is on the CAMRA beer guide. Usually Ossian and Tim Taylor. Both in immaculate condition. The service is always friendly and knowledgeable. Some good whiskeys as well. The food is very good, traditional Scottish fare. If you want to know what good Aberdeen beef is, come here. One of the best steaks, and prime rib I have had. The curry is also excellent. Like most places around they will do special dinners for Mothers Day, Christmas, ext. I have not been, but those always sound amazing. All freshly prepared and locally sourced. There are about 30 rooms, and very nice ones at that. Certainly as good of a place to stay as any. Lets see, historical building with lots of character, Real Ale, good food, yep this is a place for me.

This is the first time I've ever been shown to my hotel room, opened the door, and been faced with…read morefive additional doors, each one leading to a different room in our massive, two bedroom suite. For only about US $200 a night (average, April prices, booked through hotels.com) it was all ours for two nights. Full kitchen, living room, full bath, and two bedrooms. There was a washer/dryer combo unit in our kitchen, tea and coffee on the boil all day long downstairs, and free washing soap for the laundry. Continental breakfast in the mornings was somewhere between decent and decadent, depending on your view. I ordered gluten-free toast and got about four servings worth. Ordered tea and got a pot big enough for 2-4 people. Only complaint is the beds are quite small. If you are used to sharing a double bed with your spouse it might not be so bad, but when you are used to a King size bed, expect it to feel a little cramped.

Booking was easy online and 10 minutes later I was checked in. The staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly and I was offered to wait in the lounge with a cup of tea whilst I waited for someone to carry my bags to my room. I didn't realise there are actually a whole bunch of apartments adjacent to each other, also some scattered across the road. I was staying towards the back of the apartments on the second level (no elevators) so the assistance was appreciated. The accommodation itself was more than enough for one person. The executive apartment featured a bedroom, bathroom, lounge room and small kitchen with everything you'd need to create a home cooked meal. Given the late hour and duration of my stay I don't think I got to truly appreciate the space available, but nonetheless was impressed. Bed was comfortable and the blackout curtains are effective. I've given one less star because the walls are thin, and as I was falling asleep I could hear people trudging up the stairs, getting into the room above mine and I fell asleep to the sound of their muffled conversation. Breakfast is included and is a decent spread. Ample space in the dining room too. Overall a good experience, just might ask for a top floor apartment next time.

It's a short…read morewalk to Union Street and all the shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, and bars you could want. The rooms are modern and clean. The only real gripe I can come up with for the room was it was hard to find electrical outlets. There's not one in the bathroom, there's a couple in the hall that are a tight fit because of the shelf, and the rest are along the floor. To get to the one under the desk I had to crawl under the desk. A power outlet or two on the desk would be nice. There's not any room service, but there's a restaurant on site with limited hours. Even during these hours it seemed sometimes hard to find someone in the restaurant. There's so many great restaurants in the area. Check out Nargile and Paldino. Next time I'm in Aberdeen, I'll gladly stat here again.

Alright, so I might've lied about the simple tastes. Regardless, Hilton Garden Inn at Aberdeen City Centre was an excellent place to stay for my trip to the Granite City. Clean, nice staff, comfy bed. My room had a rain shower which was awesome and a HUGE bathtub which came in handy when escaping the mid-50 degree weather of July (who knew those words would ever leave my mouth, err, fingers...). The restaurant on site has a buffet breakfast every morning which is very fresh and tasty. The location is also close to the hustle of Union Street and not too terribly far from Union Square, which seems to be the transpo hub for northeast Scotland. For the money, there is not a better place to stay in Aberdeen City Centre.

Staff is very friendly and helpful (and very discreet). Hotel is placed not far from centrum (5-10minutes by car, 15-20 minutes by bus). There is a park around so calm and privacy are matter of course. And they have a private parking lot. Rooms are big and clean with comfortable beds, armchairs, wardrobes, tv, safe and bathroom. It´s very luxury (at least those better ones). There is one restaurant, bar and library where you can drink or eat too if you want. It´s also perfect for private meetings. And there are also two big rooms for wedding receptions. Conferences usually take place in a separate building which is also located in the area of hotel park. Local meals are like a balm for the soul. It´s delicious, it looks perfect and together with interiors it really feels royal. And it doesn´t matter if it´s breakfast, lunch, dinner or just dessert with coffee. I was a biggest friend with a bartenders, obviously. Very good choice of whiskey. And when you drink in an that awesome bar, sitting in an armchair, you really feel like a lord at some private club in 19th century.
Holiday Inn Express Hotel Aberdeen City Centre
This for sure is not the worst hotel I have ever stayed out, but dont expect much…read more You get a clean bed and a clean room and that is about it. The first room we got felt like a dorm room, very small, two twin beds, small desk, no closet. The heater was broken so they had two plug in heaters. Two minutes after plugging those in the room smelled like it was on fire. The maid decided to walk right in even with the do not disturb sign on the door. The next day they decided to call since the do not disturb sign was up. What part of do not disturb dont they understand. This is an oilfield town and this is an oilfield dormitory. If you come in expecting this you wont be surprised. At the very least the room was clean and the staff were friendly although not super helpful. Wifi was in and out the enter week. I paid $75USD for internet for the week only to get really slow internet that only worked 50% of the time.
Rooms are good. Breakfast is complementary, served between 6:30 and 10:30 during weekends and 6:30…read moreto 9:30 during other days. The bathroom comes with the world smallest wash basin that has the most ridiculously fast tap. So if you thought of washing your face you might end up taking a shower due to jet force water stream that comes out of it. Apart from that things are looking good. If you plan on staying here during the weekend be aware that there could be a lot of drunk clubbers around the area. So if you are a light sleeper, get a pair of ear plugs.

So I decided to suprise her, I arrived at hers in the Friday, she lives just outside Aberdeen. On the Saturday I suprised her again and told her to pack an overnight bag as we were going somewhere. Her husband drove us and her mum to the malmasion where I had booked her in for a girls night in. When we arrived she was like "no way malmasion this will cost a fortune" well for £84 each we got our room, mal munchies brought to our room, a cocktail and a cooked breakfast. Our room was lovely and had a great view of the city. The bathroom was so big that it actually echoed.. What was great about doing this was that we didn't have to wander about Aberdeen in the cold rain and wind to different bars or worry about how we were gong to get home. We brought along champagne for the room and relaxed in the room having a good catch up. Then our mal munchies arrived. We didn't know what to expect but it was lovely. Lots of small taster dishes which included, scallops, prawns, giant pumpkin ravioli, chips, potatoes, chicken, pineapple and chilli, crab and a creame Brulae to finish. After this wee got ready and headed down to the brasserie bar. The bar had lots of little areas so you can get some privacy if you want. It was cosy and very Scottish feeling with the decor, including sporan tie backs for the curtains. We enjoyed lots of different cocktails and when we were fine we headed back to our room. In the morning we didn't have to check out till 12pm. And breakfast was on till 11am so we got ready at our own pace and headed for breakfast. We'd had the full breakfast and you could help yourself to anything from the continental breakfast to. We then checked out. We all really enjoyed our stay here and all the staff could not have been more pleasant or helpful. They also have a spa but we didn't use this.

Excellent food all around from breakfast to room service, to the dining in the evening. Couldn't recommend the restaurant enough or the multiple dining area options. And most importantly; the staff and people that run Banchory are second to none. The service was amazing at every level! So very attentive, respectful, incredibly friendly, helpful, personable, and knowledgable. We had our wedding reception at Banchory and Scott and his team accommodated every request throughout the week and always went above and beyond.

I only paid about $220 from Thursday night to Monday morning in Mid June for a queen size bedroom. The bedroom is decently comfortable. There is a bus number 3 to downtown that makes the hotel is convenient. The bus takes about 30-45 mins from the hotel to downtown. The down side of this hotel is that there are not a lot of restaurant around except Burger King and IKEA cafe. But the price of food in restaurant is not expensive as entrees on average is £15-30.

Here's a wee list of my rooms attributes: Comfy beds, free WiFi, in room safety deposit box, iron and ironing boards, oodles of storage, non-fogging bathroom mirror great bath shower and products, flat screen TV, room service, nespresso machine and kettle, shortbread and highland spring water, dressing gown, slippers and more. They thought of everything! There's a swimming pool too and a friendly if expensive bar, and a restaurant that I didn't try. Plenty of free parking. Hey there's even an IKEA across the roundabout if you get bored. Only downside for me came at breakfast which was decent enough, but one of the staff members was excessively dour, coffee was slow to arrive and our used plates were sometimes left to stack up. All in all we had a great stay and I would definitely recommend a stay if the out of town location suits. Vegetarians note they offer veggie sausages on the breakfast buffet menu but presume you have to make a point of asking for them to be cooked to order.

Unfortunately it has gone down hill and there are nicer places in Westhill to eat. The restaurant used to do blackboards full of specials but now there is a printed menu that does not change regularly. Food is average priced but not good value. Food is usually of a resonable standard but service is not great. There always seems to be a lot of staff on and the food takes an age to come out. However, they have recently introduced a set menu (currently 2 courses for £9) - this goes some way to providing better value meals but the set menu is not extensive. I would pay more and eat at other places in Westhill until the service is sorted. Not bad if you are staying in the hotel, it is raining and you get a spot by the real fire, otherwise there is better places to go to in the area.
