The first room I was given had not been cleaned; dirty towels no pillow cases: no clean towels dirty. It was rectiy and was given a new room. This is a pleasant hotel at budget price. If you have mobility issues not good choice.

Was a good location for our golf trip. Hotel was nice, and room was clean. My room was above the smokers corner so difficult to have the window open. Hotel served food in the eveniing, but no breakfast facility available and no other optiion close by. Not a problem for us as we got breakfast at the golf courses we went to, but maybe a consideration for others

Was literally here for a night and on the outside it didn’t seem like much but the rooms although simple were just what I needed. Bathroom was really well designed and OMG the shower was perfect! Oh and the cute guy who gave me my key was a definite bonus

Revisiting early days in Aberdeen
Visiting old work colleagues and sites after having worked in Aberdeen 37 years ago. Changes to the city were to be expected. The food was was excellent as was the service and the staff in general. I chose the Malacca, although it was not the original, it had memories of my wife and I meeting at the original restaurant 47 years ago, and chose it to celebrate our 44th anniversary. The hotel lacked certain amenities, rooms were adequate and clean. However the room was noisy especially from the floor above. The view was over some back gardens. The lack of breakfast service was not too much of a problem, there being a small café a few minutes walk along Great Western Road.

Stayed for 2 nights. Hotel looks nice from the outside, parking isn’t great just space for 5 cars so it’s just your luck if you manage to get a space. The room was nice enough just basic, little storage space. Floors creaked a lot and you could hear folk in adjacent rooms, light bulbs were out in the bathroom and there was no extractor fan so when using the shower it got steamy quickly, they did have lovely toiletries which I always appreciate, they give plenty tea and coffee in the room and you can always get extra if needed. The room itself was really hot no air conditioning but was able to make use of the small balcony and kept the door open slightly overnight. The staff were nice, check in was alright no issues. There is a lovely bar and restaurant and they have pool table and darts. A nice place to stay and it was fairly comfortable.

Convenient for the city centre.
The hotel was in a gairly good location to the city centre. Only about a 15 minute walk to Union Street. There was no on site parking but you can park on the side street, close to the reception. Overall condition of the room was pretty good. The bed was a little uncomfortable, that could just be because of personal preferences. Bathroom was good but there was quite a lot of mold on the platform next to the shower.

Balcony room
Everything was very clean and we opted for a room with a balcony which is great when the sun is shining, the downside being that the room was very warm and the only form of ventilation was opening the patio doors onto the balcony. This did not detract from our stay, however, and the staff we met were very pleasant.

My room was directly above the outside smoking area of the pub down stairs. The window had a small vent that couldn’t be closed and I could smell smoke in the room it was terrible. I would never stay her again and was really disappointed.

The room was badly needing redecorated. Black mould on window seals and shower sealant. Also, as they don't do any breakfasts, at least they could provide directions to the nearest cafe, but they didn't. I would not recommend this hotel.

Poor Accommodation - expensive for what it is
Poor location, limited car parking - on street as 5 spaces at hotel were full. No wifi code offered or available. Room had a lingering odour. Blind in bedroom was broken. No hairdryer in room. Pillows were awful. On a positive towels were white and fluffy

One night business stay
This was a room only booking as the hotel does not offer breakfast. However the room was better than I expected. It was clean, warm, comfortable and provided all I needed for a one night stay. Initially I was a little concerned it might be noisy and difficult to get sleep as room was located directly above the reception and bar area but it was quiet and I did not experience any problems. Happy to stay here again.
