“Nestled in a refined area near Aberdeen's private schools, this hotel impressed me with its blend of historical architecture and modern luxury. The spacious rooms, coupled with the ease of parking and delightful staff, make it a notable choice.

Excellent Stay
kind staff needed rest lovely room
the staff at reception were lovely and very kind. my room gave me a well needed rest. i had a really nice experience at this hotel on sunday evening.
access to my room required navigating a flight of stairs this was not ideal since the lift did not reach that part of the building. carrying luggage up the stairs presented a challenge.
