Great suite, but the check-in desk was unstaffed when I arrived, so I spent a very irritating 20 minutes out on the street, unable to get through the locked door leading into the hotel. The phone number to call for assistance was not working on my 1 phone. They need to fix this; check-in should not be so difficult. How about a simple door code?

The property was clean and comfortable. We were close to the center of the city (on the main street) and within walking distance of train and bus station. Lots of dining options nearby.

This apartment was more than we needed for our 1 night stay but very appreciated. It was clean and had all the amenities. The vegan bakery down the street was amazing. Centrally located, we walked to the beach, to parks and restaurants.

Uninviting outside belies the nice, quiet rooms.
Slightly weird entrance that did not inspire confidence but the inside was really nice, especially my room. Receptionist was very welcoming and helpful.

Lovely little area of Aberdeen, easy access to local shops and restaurants. Taxi service was very convenient. On our last night we had people banging on our door at 3 AM but other than that it was fabulous. We would stay again

We have stayed in this location on several occasions. The serviced suites are to be recommended & we usually try to stay in the same one. The location is excellent - central & close to some of the historic architecture in the city. On previous reviews I have mentioned the state of the windows - those overlooking Union Street are absolutely filthy outside. Clean them please!!!!!

Enjoyed our stay, was nice to get away for a break. Did find someone’s perfume and clothes label in the room. The sponge we received for cleaning our dishes had already been used by someone. Considering the price for a night which I’d say is a little high you’d think every apartment would have new sponges for new residents. Considering all of this I would return to the apartments as this isn’t my first time staying with yourselves and I do love the apartments. Staff are a bonus as they were all very polite and kind.
