The room was so dated with alot of damp stains in the ceiling, stained carpet and old furniture. The photos of rooms in the website are not the rooms that you get. Definitely would not recommend or return! It was very over priced.

Hotel was very comfortable. Great hairdryer. Eveything catered for. Room and bathroom spotless. Shower was brilliant too Plenty tea, coffee provided. Convenient for where we were going. Had a fantastic nights sleep. No complaints whatsoever. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment on that. We’ll def be back next time we are in Aberdeen. And almost forgot to say the price was very competitive compared to other hotels in the area. Excellent.

The hotel was great but lots of stairs, and the bath isn't the best for me. The room and facilities and staff were fantastic but would need to be more specific regarding mobility requirements in future.

Stayed here several times over the last year and always had good service and very nice spacious refurbished modern clean rooms. That was not the case on my visit recently. Given a room at the back, with old, outdated furniture, an uncomfortable bed, bathroom old, outdated, bath panel peeling away from the side of the bath. Turned on the basin tap - no water, then bursts of piping hot water soaked me and the floor, and the water continued to run brown. I went down to reception to lodge my concerns and complaints and asked to move to another room. The duty manager assisted and did his best, but the whole process was continually interrupted by the resident maintenance man hanging around the reception, talking to other guests checking in, then started talking to me - emerging that he was drunk, loudly speaking slurring his words. The drunk maintenance man shouted at me and said there was a plumbing problem in the hotel, and had been all year and all the guests were meant to be advised of it at check-in. He also told me I shouldn't drink the water from the taps in the rooms. I was then given two bottles of water. I was moved to a newly refurbished room, but also spoke to the duty manager and advised him to deal with a drunk member of staff and his behaviour towards guests at reception. This is a Mercure/Accor chain hotel, and both the standard of room and the behaviour of staff should not be like this for paying guests.

This is a tired hotel and the room was okay but nothing special. The shower was fixed without a gooseneck and dated, and the toiletries had no element of luxury. The carpet was worn and it had seen better days. Noise and loud chatter was heard from the nearby room, not satisfactory. The bed was comfortable and extra pillows were brought up fairly quickly when requested. The breakfast was poor and substandard. The refilling of the buffet was slow and all they had for coffee was instant Nescafé, which is very much under-delivering on the Mercure brand. I recently stayed at a budget hotel and it had soya milk, catered more for dietary requirements and the bathroom was more clean and modern. The Mercure breakfast was on a par with that sort of hotel. I would not be rushing back to stay there again given the choice and range of accommodation options in Aberdeen.
