After reading some unfavourable reviews, after we had booked the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised with our weekend in Aberdeen. Yes the hotel is situated in the midst of several bars, clubs and ... a police station, so it does get noisy at weekends. However, by keeping our windows and bathroom door closed we had two good nights sleep.Our room... More

Booked 2 rooms as my collegue and I were working in Aberdeen. I can see why you have to pay up front because if you saw the room first you would leave. Corridors were a mismatch of different threadbare carpets on uneven creaky floors. The rooms we had (204,205) had wallpaper comming off the walls, worn out carpets with sections... More

Great service, lovely breakfast and value for money, close to city centre. More

Hubby and I spent one night in this hotel. This was one night too much. Even after getting the night porter to deal with noisy occupants in the room next door. The occupants then began ringing our room. Advised reception in the morning who appeared very uninterested. However the staff in the breakfast room were very nice and friendly. We... More

Fleapit of the the old school; corridors and room had grubby walls, woodchip wallpaper, yellow ceiling(I can't decide which would be worse; that they were dumb enough to paint it yellow, or it became yellow from tobacco smoke and hasn't been repainted since smoking was banned in hotel rooms). The bathroom(and it was a bathroom, with erratic hot water supply)... More

The Royal Hotel is that sort of slightly tired but acceptable hotel with fraying carpet and industrial lino in the bathrooms but it was clean and easy reach of the train station. The receptionist was friendly enough. I booked an online deal and booked a double room for the the price of a single. I don't require romance when all... More

I will keep this review short and try not to moan too much: The Good - Great location in the City - Clean towels - Clean sheets - I'm sruggling here... free shower gel...... The Bad - Great location... too good, lots of noise outside the buiding, fights, shouting, etc (especially bad over weekends I would imagine). There is an... More

In fact I can only think of two. The room was a good size and the bed comfortable, though short. The trouble is we were aware it was comfortable for a lot of the night due to the noise from the other clientelle and outside. The hotel is not situated in the most salubrious area with several late night establishments... More

Afetr finding this hotel as one of the cheapest in Aberdeen City Centre, I was very sceptical after reading some of the reviews. BUT to be fair the downstairs bar and restaurant is nice, the 1st floor breakfast area is nice and the food was also ok. The rooms themselves is where you get the difference of an extra £30... More
