The 10 best hotels in Aberdeen, United Kingdom

August 6, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Experience the richness of Aberdeen’s proud history and culture — from the sound of residents’ traditional Doric accent to the sights of glittering granite buildings lining the city’s streets. Explore the cobbled roads and historic university buildings of Old Aberdeen, then take a stroll along the nearby sandy beach and watch for dolphins in the busy harbour. Afterward, find your way to the quaint fishing quarter of Footdee, and lose yourself among its tiny cottages and colourful gardens.

Faultless

Reviewed By Codsears

Business trip to attend course. Myself and a colleague in two Signature King Rooms. Hotel staff professional & friendly. Our rooms were clean, exceptionally comfortable & had a really nice modern twist. The bathrooms feature rainwater showers and an awesome bath on request. So very relaxing. Breakfast is faultless. The restaurant food is simply excellent. There was nothing we tried that wasn’t first class. Importantly, the bar and restaurant staff remain totally on point and friendly even when under pressure. I have come back from my 3 night stay totally relaxed & delighted I chose the Sandman Signature. It did not disappoint.

I stayed at the Hilton Teca recently and I have to say it is the best Hilton I have stayed at. The price compared to what you get is great value. It is a modern hotel with great amenities and room comfort. The staff are extremely helpful. I stay often here and regularly get info and help from the receptionists. Recently one of the front desk receptionists, Zaneta helped me fix an issue I had made with the receipt until it was resolved. Being a business receipt it was not easy to fix, which I appreciated the time and effort taken! Fantastic hotel to stay in and I have never had a bad stay!

External noise is a big issue

Reviewed By Stuart M

I went to Aberdeen to meet friends at an event at the Music Hall and the hotel seemed ideally placed for both the venue and the train station. However, returning after the event and despite closing the window there was shouting continuously from outside until the early hours, affecting my sleep, particularly as my return train was leaving before 10am in the morning. When I mentioned this to reception at checkout I was told quite bluntly that the local area is "party central" with late bars and clubs all very close to the hotel. Had this been mentioned anywhere within the online information I would have chosen a different location. I wouldn't choose to book to stay here again unless there were guarantees that the windows had been changed and were noise-cancelling. The rest was fine and just what I expect from a Travelodge, but not being able to sleep is a significant problem.

Good location, clean, nice staff

Reviewed By Lizzie0909

We stayed here for one night. Easy to get to from the bus station, just a 5 minute walk even with cases. Our room was a good size, as was the bathroom. Comfortable bed, complimentary tea & coffee. Breakfast was made up of a good selection of hot and cold food which was replenished regularly. The only criticism that we had was the poor choice and quality of the food served in the evening. It had either come out of the freezer or warmed up in the microwave. We had fish and chips and beef in black bean sauce with rice. Just under a tenner per meal, not worth it. We would stay here again but eat our evening meal elsewhere.
