Stayed at another Skene House about 2 years ago. Had a positive experience there - but my company started using other hotels in Aberdeen. Went on a solo business trip a couple of weeks ago - and decided to go back to Skene...and really glad I did. Service was just fantastic. Everyone was so happy to help all the time... More

We stayed at Skene House Holburn, as part of a tour of the UK. Our suite was best described as "dated" a real blast from the past. We found the staff a little grim and the porter reluctantly carried our bags up several flights of stairs to our rooms. All in all greatly over priced for dated accommodation and poor... More

I stayed here for only one night while passing through town. Location - just 2 blocks from Union Street. Did not expect such a room with all the facilities. It's practically like home with a living hall, a kitchen with all the faciltiies like washing machine, dryer, microwave, all dishes and even washing liquid etc and not forgetting the bedroom... More

The apartments here are like being in a home away from home. Very spacious and great location. It's quite nice to have shops around the corner so you can stock the kitchen, and also a luxury to be able to do your laundry mid-trip in your own washer/dryer. Our apartment was on the third floor which made for spectacular views,... More

We visit Aberdeen regularly and I have to say this is the best accommodation we have stayed in. It is ideal for Union Street and hardly a walk to any facilities. Staff were very friendly, the accommodation first class. It was my husbands birthday and we appreciated the touches from the hotel to celebrate this. Would use the accommodation again.

This was the second time we have stayed in these apartments, and I wouldn't stay anwhere else now when visiting Aberdeen. The apartment we had was very spacious with all you need for your stay, right down to milk in the fridge and washing machine tablets. It's lovely to have a seperate lounge to relax in rather than both squeezing... More

Staff helpful, took bags and gave advice as to how to get to places. Room clean and well kitted out, some nice touches like complimentary drink and snacks. We had the continental breakfast which was better than in most places, again staff could not be more helpful. In terms of value for money this place is very good value indeed.... More

We are eight golfers from Norway and we stayed at Skene House Holburn from april 4th to 7th. We can recommend this hotel to everyone. It is very clean and the breakfast was excellent. Service is superb and tanks a lot to Liz who organized all golf and transport for us. Kaare Ingve Monsen
