“Amazing self contained mini flat. So well thought out! It has everything you need and is only 10 minutes drive from town. Quiet, comfortable, safe and great facilities. 100% would stay here again. They should start a chain of these! People in reviews complaining about no change of towels etc clearly didn’t use or check out the laundry facilities as there are towels and bin bags etc in there so you can either swap up or wash the ones you have been using. The laundry is a great bonus. I stayed a week as a base for house-hunting in Aberdeen and it’s really a home away from home. Yes it can get hot but the advise of using the fan and propping the door open works just fine. Best value for money catered apartment that I’ve stayed in.”

“We had a wonderfully relaxing stay with Chris and Karolyn, the room was perfect and very clean - the breakfasts were exceptional, with such choice of quality food. Chris’s and Karolyn we’re so hospitable, and very accommodating with our changing schedule. I would thoroughly recommend staying at Disblair House.”

“We had a wonderful one night stay in Aberdeen. We were able to check in early, and we're upgraded to a suite as Marriot Gold members. The staff were absolutely amazing, so very friendly and helpful. Especially a shout out to Dimitrij!!”

“Great weekend at Brewdog Kennels. Was asked to pay £10 for using sofa bed but fee was waived. Just a heads up if you plan to use the sofa bed if coming to stay. Will def come back.”

“We have had many brilliant visits to the Aloft. All staff pay close attention to detail and customer service is spot on. Will be back for sure. Special mention for Katie who met us upon arrival.”

“We recently stayed at the Hilton Teca during a trip to Aberdeen to visit family. A few days prior to arriving, I received an email letting me know that we had received a complimentary room upgrade which was a pleasant unexpected surprise. On arrival, we were given such a warm welcome from the reception team members Victoria and Maria. We were told that our upgrade also included access to the exec lounge, although we were not able to use this during this trip. Our room (416) was large and clean and the giant bed was super comfortable, the view did look out on to a main road, but it was incredibly quiet, so you wouldn't even know. Each night of our stay we'd head to the bar for a night cap, all the restaurant/bar staff we met were super friendly and helpful, particularly Shane and Eilidh who took great care of us over the 3 days we stayed. Breakfast was well stocked and varied, although more vegan options would always be appreciated. The gym and spa were clean and a great space to relax. We will definitely stayed here again.”

“l always stay at the Malmaison when I am in Aberdeen, and the experience is always very pleasant. The hotel has great rooms which are nicely decorated. Nice bathrooms too. Their breakfast is good. The location is another positive and the staff are wonderful. Great value for money.”

“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.”

“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 .”

“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.”

“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 recent visit to the Ibis Aberdeen was nothing short of perfect, easily earning a 5-star review. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of genuine hospitality and warmth. The comfort of the stay was paramount. The modern, well-appointed room provided a peaceful retreat, ensuring a restful night's sleep in the comfortable bed. The hotel's commitment to providing an excellent service experience shone through in every interaction. A special and heartfelt commendation must go to Miguel and the entire Ibis Aberdeen team. Miguel, in particular, is a true asset. His presence at the hotel made me feel incredibly welcomed and valued. Tonight, Miguel truly went the extra mile, demonstrating an attentiveness and professional guest service that surpassed all expectations. The dedication and positive attitude of the rest of the team are equally notable, contributing to a consistently high-quality experience. The wholesome breakfast was a delightful start to the day. The selection was varied and fresh, but the true star was the amazing automated pancake maker! It's a fun and brilliant touch that elevates the entire breakfast experience. For anyone looking for value, comfort, and outstanding staff in the city, the Ibis Aberdeen is the absolute best hotel choice. Highly, highly recommended!”

“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.”

“From the moment I walked through the door, I couldn’t fault a single thing. And trust me, I am a self-confessed hotel snob—the kind who judges places by the fluffiness of their lobby cushions. But this hotel ticked every box… and at a price so good I briefly wondered if they’d mixed up my booking with someone far less demanding. The two young women on reception were fantastic—friendly, smiley, and so well presented I considered standing up straighter just talking to them. They chatted like we were old pals, asked about my daughter’s university visit, and answered every question without even a hint of “please go away.” Truly a credit to the hotel. Walking from reception to our ground-floor room (147), the place just kept impressing me. Everything is immaculate, fresh, and spotless. The corridors are so well lit I half expected someone to hand me a script and tell me we were filming a toothpaste advert. Our room had two double beds with duvets so comfortable I’m convinced they’re filled with clouds stolen from a Pixar movie. The pillows were perfect, and the sheets were so brilliantly white that I lay down carefully to avoid disturbing their purity. Beautiful tartan blackout blinds on both windows added a classy touch. There was tea, coffee, a microwave, a fridge cleverly tucked in the wardrobe area, and two wing-back chairs that made me feel like I should be reading a classic novel—even though all I did was stare at the TV, which has every app and channel known to mankind. Now, the bathroom. As someone who enjoys a long shower (the type where you emerge looking like a raisin), this one was an absolute triumph. I stood under that rainfall shower for a solid 20 minutes, admiring the red brick feature wall—something I’ve never seen in a shower before, but now firmly believe should be mandatory everywhere. The shower gel also smells so good I’m thinking of wearing it as a fragrance. This morning I popped back to reception because the car park was full last night. Once again, the same young lady greeted me with a smile that suggested she actually remembered who I was—a rare and powerful skill in hospitality. She helped me get my van off the street before the traffic enforcement team could appear and ruin my day. She deserves a medal… or at least an extra biscuit in the staff room. I know it’s early to say this, but I’m fully expecting breakfast to be spectacular. At this point, the only way this hotel could disappoint me is if they suddenly run out of bacon. In fact, I’m secretly hoping my daughter chooses Aberdeen University (RGU), not just for her future—but so my wife and I have an excuse to come back here every month and live our best hotel life. Overall, this hotel doesn’t just earn 5 stars—it swipes them, polishes them, and presents them back with a smile. Well done Sandman Signature this hotel and your staff are above fantastic.”

“First time at the Moxy with my son for the weekend. No words..such a brilliant experience, the staff go above and beyond for you, so friendly, so helpful, fair to say the nicest welcome and service I've ever experienced in a hotel. There was no beans by the time we got down for breakfast the first morning ( our fault leaving it to the bitter end) the manager lad made sure there were beans the next morning, just so helpful, all the staff were just amazing , cleaning team were so nice and helpful also. Brilliant time ☺️, so much so, we are coming back very soon . Thankyou guys Emma”

“The room could be done with a bigger telly... however the staff were amazing, couldn't do enough for you, especially Charlie and Ella, they made our stay feel very comfortable, a home away from home. Thanks to all the staff.”

“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.”

“As premier inns go, it is falls within the middle of the spectrum. Not bad but not amazing either - clean rooms and standard facilities do the job perfectly, with a small room for breakfast and a carvery next door. The location isn't amazing but the hotel itself is fine. Everything you'd expect from a Premier Inn, in a positive way.”

“Had a great stay here on our way back from Scotland. Rooms were large, clean and just outside the city centre so the traffic was light and quiet.”

“Lovely staff. Very accommodating..That's what makes this place nice. Change of room. Wasn't a problem. Helpful staff. Very happy with the service given so thanks goes to them.”

“On flight path but that's to be expected being so close to the airport! Met a colleague here for food only, service was great and food was decent portions and well presented”

“Excellent boutique rooms including fridge and cooking facilities.”

“Stayed here overnight prior to flying back to to the states. Staff went out of there way to make sure my wife and I had a great stay - from the dinner off room everything was perfect.”

“Lady at check in was super friendly, room was spotless and easy parking. For a airport hotel much better than most others ive stayed at.”

“Hotel was very clean and very warm. Staff are very friendly. Unfortunately there was no breakfast. I also tried their cheese and bacon burger and it was delicious. The only "negative" thing (with the burger) was the bottom of the bun had strong balsamic flavor (probably because of some sauce or balsamic). The whole atmosphere was amazing. Price was reasonable.”
