Walked in to an unflushed toilet that hadnā€™t been cleaned. Was then told the pool was fully booked. There was never any mention of having to book the pool and the pool facilities were the main reason for our stay. Highly disappointed with this place. We were very excited to stay here.

Just home from a two day stay at this hotel. Overall our stay was nice. There were some really good points and some annoying points. I will start with the good: - The young guy and the young girl manning the pool were really nice and friendly and very accommodating helping us book the pool times. - The room was really nice and big and clean. - The breakfast was tasty and the restaurant was nice. The bad points: - You have to pay to park at the hotel which I found to be ludacris since we travelled there and had to park there. Even though it was only Ā£3 per night with the half price token, I have never had to pay to park at a hotel before when Iā€™ve been staying there. - One of the breakfast staff was rude when we asked if there were any more pancakes. She promptly responded by saying, ā€˜I donā€™t know you will have to ask one of my colleaguesā€™ then walked away. However the other man working the breakfast area seemed to be running around doing everything and he was really friendly. - There was a wedding on at the venue and there was so much noise through the night with people speaking loud and running through the corridors. It was not peaceful at all that night. Overall I did enjoy the stay and would come back.

Fabulous hotel. Staff were extremely polite, attentive and friendly. The whole hotel was spotless. Very comfortable bed. Spacious room which was well equipped with hairdryer, iron, ironing board, tea and coffee making facilities and even a fan. Leisure facilities fantastic. We were here for a wedding and function rooms were lovely. Food at the event was delicious and breakfast was great too. No complaints. Highly recommend.

Nice hotel but service could be better
Good hotel with warm swimming pool and steam/sauna. However you have to pay parking Ā£3/night. I booked 2 rooms and receptionist could not find one of the room due to different guess name for each room. Room with two double beds but the bed size are a bit small. Heating control knobs broken and receptionist won't help. There are great recliner chairs and coffee pod machine in room which is a plus point. Breakfast was terrible as food is not warm/ limited and no coffee machine. You also need to ask to get cook fried eggs but no one tells you that.

A very large hotel with pool and gym facilities on the southern edge of Aberdeen. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable and pool was small but clean. I did not use the bar or restaurant. The area around the hotel is uninteresting so a car is advisable. Staff helpful.
