Walked in to an unflushed toilet that hadn’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 £3 per night with the half price token, I have never had to pay to park at a hotel before when I’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, ‘I don’t know you will have to ask one of my colleagues’ 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.

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.
