2-star historical hotel with baronial architecture across from Aberdeen's train and bus stations

Union Square Shopping Centre is directly opposite, and Aberdeen Maritime Museum and His Majesty's Theatre are within walking distance. Free parking is available on side streets from 20:00 until 08:00, a rare convenience in the city centre.

Room Features

All rooms include a private bathroom, heating, and a tea/coffee maker. The hotel provides family rooms, quadruple rooms, executive single rooms, and small double rooms, catering to solo travelers, couples, and groups. Rooms are cleaned daily, and showers offer high water pressure and plenty of hot water.

Guest Policies & Safety

The hotel maintains a smoke-free and pet-free environment to ensure a tranquil atmosphere for all guests. Multilingual staff are available to assist international visitors, and entry requires a key code for added security. A £50 deposit per room is held against potential stains or damages, a policy guests should note before booking.

They facilitated a smooth and easy check-in process.

A Decent Stay

convenient location friendly staff old building many stairs
The location was convenient. It was directly across from the bus station. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. I was able to extend my stay after a night out. The reception staff were helpful during this process.
The building felt old. The windows seemed quite outdated. There was no lift and many stairs. It was difficult with a heavy bag.

friendly staff quick response spacious room lack wardrobe strong smell fresh paint
i found the staff very friendly. they responded quickly to messages, which i appreciated (since i am sometimes quiet). i loved that the location was close to the station. the room i got was quite spacious.
the lack of a proper wardrobe was inconvenient. there were not even a few hangers for the small rod tucked into the corner. additionally, the room had a very strong smell of fresh paint that didn't fade, even after leaving the window open for hours. it.
