I loved the room as it was a room with a sea view, so it was just nice to sit at the window window and look out of it, the washroom was lovely and clean, all of the room was clean though and the hotel and all of the areas. I loved how there was direct bus to aberdeen city centre just in the bay area 5 minute walk from the hotel... the staff were super polite and very attentive and did a very good job at staying on top of room service. Breakfast was lovely. Dinner was lovely. The staff are very clear that they do go home at a certain time so leave us with a key to leave the premises if needs be.

“Clean rooms and good location”
Good location with own parking lot if you want to avoid staying in towns with a rented car as we did (traffic, parking, etc.). They have a lovely in-house restaurant with good choice of meals. Rooms are very clean. Breakfast was great with variety of fruits, cereals and cooked food.

“Cosy, newly decorated room with great shower. Plentiful parking and superb food.”
The room was extremely comfortable, freshly painted and newly carpeted. Very warm on a wild and wet weekend. The shower was fantastic, one of the best we have experienced. We had breakfast and dinner in the restaurant over 3 days and everything we tried was freshly and superbly cooked and beautifully served. The staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay. Parking is plentiful too.
