Brentwood Aberdeen City Centre near Union Street
Room was not clean, coke bottle under bed, clearly not vacuumed. Bed was hard and lumpy. Bathroom mirror unwashed. Door had no safety lock. It was inexpensive and served the purpose but I can’t recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and warm. The bed was comfy. The couch was a lovely touch and comfy. The little kitchen was a nice added touch to. The breakfast was everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Station Hotel Aberdeen
The room was clean although the decor is dated. Two challenges for me - only one light in the room on the wall. I had to ask for a bedside lamp. The staff was excellent at helping resolve that dilemma. The second issue was intermittent internet access.
