Top hotels in Old Aberdeen
Ardoe House Hotel & Spa
The only issue I had was with the spa they charged me and then when I went to redeem my services they said that I was unable to beto accommodate because of an illness and would not refund my money so I would recommend that you do not pay until your services are completed just for your safety

Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa
The hotel is beautiful and modern with comfortable beds and nice rooms. The rooms do run a bit warm but the windows do crack open. Nice central location. I wouldn’t recommend the breakfast though

Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen
The room iteslf was clean, as was the bathroom. However there was hair & other small debris in the drawers in the room. A small fridge would have been helpful as the room was hot. Breakfast was good, we’d no other meals there. We paid for a late checkout yet our key cards stopped working 30 mins ...

Station Hotel Aberdeen
Clean updated room was very nice. It can be a bit noisy outside during the night with traffic but not enough to keep me from sleeping. Buffet style breakfast was lovely but a little cold even though we were there as it opened, eggs not soft either.
