The 30 Best Motel in Aberdeen

“Booked this hotel because of close proximity to the theatre. Very impressed with the room. We stayed in the "Gordon Suite", which was a large room overlooking Union Terrace gardens. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable with lovely high ceilings. Check-in was very efficient. Ecxcellent location being just a short walk after the show at the theatre. Had a few drinks in the hotel bar afterwards and lovely breakfast in the morning.”

“Good place to stay if you want Aberdeen City on your doorstep. The only down side is there is no parking on site. There is a close multi storey car park that charge £10 per 24 hours within walking distance.”

“Great hotel, very efficient staff. Rachel on reception gave us a lovely welcome on arrival, she was very helpful and friendly. Beautiful breakfast, room was adequate, very clean and comfortable. I would stay here again, so I would highly recommend this hotel. Adrian”

“I had a great stay at this hotel! It’s very clean, quiet, and peaceful—perfect for a good rest. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience very pleasant. Also, the pizza here is delicious, and the Wi-Fi is super fast, which was a huge plus for me. Highly recommended!”

“This hotel is in an excellent central location, particularly if you are taking a ferry or train. It's in walking distance of a number of restaurants, pubs, and attractions. The building and decor are somewhat old-fashioned, but the hotel is clean and quite comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Luggage storage is available. Our room was quite spacious and well-appointed with a kettle, tea, coffee, cocoa, snacks, and cold water in the mini-fridge. The bed was comfortable, and linens and towels were of good quality. The shower was excellent, spacious and good water pressure. My only complaint was our bathroom's odd layout, with the toilet and sink up a step from the main floor. Hazardous in the dark when you're sleepy! Wifi was acceptable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

“Had our wedding at the Rox hotel 3rd March. The staff was absolutely amazing. They went out there way to help my wife which was staying for 2 nights. They set up the dinning area which was perfect. The food was freshly cooked and all our guests loved there meal. The hotel itself has lovely decor. Prices are fair. Rooms were of a high standard. I would recommend this hotel 100% to any one. Great setting brilliant staff good food”

“Needed somewhere close to airport for daily returning to California. Taxi was booked for 08.10 and that's exactly when it arrived. Rooms were basic with only 1 chair per room but they were clean. Would use that particular Travelodge for any future requirements.”

“Nice. Central. Reasonably priced. At the straightforward end of the market and very good at it. Just a room. No bar catering etc. Just a room. A very nice room. Very nice ensuite bathroom. No bath, but big enough for one if you want to bring your own. Surrounded by noisy bars etc but did not hear a thing all night. Obviously very well soundproofed. Lots of steps. Maybe not so good for the not so abled. But there may be a lift. I don't know as I didn't need to enquire. Super smiley receptionist. Nothing too much trouble.”

“We found the staff very friendly and helpful. Our room was basic but it was clean and had everything needed. The food was amongst the best we’ve ever eaten in a hotel of this kind. We will be back soon.”

“Very nice welcome. Nice and clean. Chris and Lesley are lovely and made me feel at home. You have full access to the kitchen, fridge, microwave etc so you can take your own food in and microwave it. DIY breakfast with cereal yogurt, fruit and toast so help yourself. Just a point for the Ladies take a hairdryer I always do as I prefer my own so it wasn't a problem.”

“The food in the restaurant is always excellent. The mussels they have at the moment are particularly good. Always very friendly service as well.”

“The hotel is surrounded by a beautiful woodland and it's not far from Aberdeen. The staff is very friendly and professional - it was a very nice surprise the wee happy birthday message in my room. The room was spacious and comfy, and the view to river was great. The restaurant has a nice ambience, and the food delicious. I truly recommend that.”

“Great for a short stay in Aberdeen! Lovely comfortable and spacious rooms. Bar area with outdoor seating to the front of the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice, cooked options as well as cereal, pastries, etc. Large car park round the back of the hotel.”

“1st Class experience. The dinner was outstanding, the staff were truly amazing, and the food was exceptional. Expensive, yes - but absolutely worth it for the ‘WOW’ factor.”

“Excellent choice for our Sunday lunch for four. Friendly welcome and well presented, tasty lunches. Especially enjoyed the Skirlie Chicken. Perhaps some training opportunities for one of the waiting staff, who delivered a three quarter filled pint of beer and also could have avoided delivering over other people’s plates. Beer was topped up and good choice of Wainwrights’s and Hobgoblin. Mains were worth the wait but 35 minutes seemed too long. All in all an excellent lunch. And sent off with a piece of Mrs Tilly’s tablet. We’ll be back.”

“Just returned home after a wonderful stay at the cove bay hotel . From start to finish it was perfect . We spent some time in the bar in the afternoon - the staff were chatty and friendly . Just what you want and the atmosphere was really enjoyable too . At tea time the service was top notch and the food was fantastic . Both our meals were great and it seemed everyone in the busy dining area were having a lovely evening . We loved our room too . We asked for one that wasn’t up too many steps and we were given one that was pretty much on the same level as all the facilities - thanks so much ! Our room was lovely and cosy even with the wind howling outside . Finally , breakfast - once again food and service was first class and we left with full bellies ! This hotel has been one of our favourite nights away and we will defo return ( soon I hope !) Thanks again to all the staff - you’re great .”

“Booked a night for my mum and dads 40th wedding anniversary and my mums 60th birthday and they had the most wonderful experience. From start to end they had a 5 star experience, the service, food, room, everything, was first class. I cannot thank you enough for providing them with such an exceptional experience.”

“1st time here for a meal with my wife, very warm welcome, attentive smiley waitress & delicious food, generous portions of battered chicken fillet & chips with BBQ sauce & a battered haddock with chips & peas. Will definitely be back. Very clean establishment.”

“While we didn’t stay here my group of 12 had a very nice dinner here. The restaurant is clean and vibrant. The food and drinks were exceptional as well.”

“Very attentive staff with super friendly service to our table of 12. Great food, Very well priced and amazing communication on the run up to our evening. Would recommend and will definitely be back.”

“Everything was fab apart from no air con in the hotel/ it wasn’t working. I would however stay here again.”

“Spacious room as well as toilet. The bath tub is so inviting but what a shame i don't have time to use it, as we only stop to rest and head again for a long journey. Comfy bed, cozy and with delicious breakfast included, nice ambience.”

“Always a good spot to enjoy the Sunday sport, have a burger and a couple of beers.”

“My wife and I got married here in 2024, we came back to celebrate our anniversary and the staff were absolutely amazing. They gave us our wedding room which made the whole stay so much more special.”

“Had a lovely meal here after the renovation. Food was very nice, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Reasonably priced given the high quality. The Coterie has a really nice atmosphere and is perfect for either a romantically or indeed a group. Some slight negatives just to give some feedback to make it 5 stars - we were there on a very hot day and the beer garden was full, I think this impacted on the staffs ability to cope with restaurant customers, there was an unusually long period just waiting for drinks to arrive. With foresight the hotel could’ve maybe had some more staff on when they know it’s likely to be really busy. Also, I wasn’t given a steak knife with my venison, it just was difficult to cut with a blunt dinner knife.”

“We had a great stay. The room was clean and had all amenities needed. The food was delicious and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The service was excellent. We would definitely recommend and stay here again in the future.”

“Came today for a late lunch, completely forgetting its fathers day and they managed to squeeze us in amongst the bookings. Staff were really lovely and you could tell they were swept off their feet but it didn't change how you were treated. Everyone was really nice and attentive and very friendly. Food was amazing, burnt my tongue which is my own fault but I couldn't help it as it was all so delicious! Obviously food came out piping hot, and cooked to perfection. Thoroughly reccomend!”

“Stayed for 1 night as we took a drive along the coast Room was very clean and the mini bar was stocked. Comfy beds and nice bathroom. We had our wiener dog with us so he was given some water and attention from the friendly staff, we even stuck his bed under the table. Good to see some old school locals having a wee pint and chit chat at the bar, rarely get to see this now without folk staring at their phones all night. Food at the bar was superb, haggis neeps and tatties lovely, also mac n cheese and other bits and bobs. Great big car park Overall a great hotel which is well kept and not far from the beach etc Only point to add would be the room doors bang quite hard and you can hear every single one each time they close, I will bring my ear plugs on my next visit.”
