The Station Hotel

The location of this hotel is ideal for the city centre and minutes from the train station. Been through a well done, lovely refurbishment, giving a modern feel but in keeping with the traditional style of the hotel.

Room size. Amazing bathroom.

We stayed one night to catch the train from Aberdeen to Inverness. We had a lovely clean room, which we found comfortable with tea/coffee facilities. I found the shower a bit difficult to regulate and it may need looked at but it got the job done. I meant to say this to reception and I forgot in my hurry. The breakfast in the morning was exceptional with very fresh fruit and a lovely hot cooked breakfast with a good choice. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We liked it so much we are staying there again in November. It is right across from Union Square, bus and train stations...maybe a clue in the name! Right next to Tivoli Theatre as well. Excellent value and The Station Hotel will become a go to stay when next in Aberdeen.

This was a short notice booking, and we did request via the hotel for a ground floor room, and Nazarii on Reception accommodated us very nicely, confirming via email. He was also on Reception when we arrived and was very pleasant and helpful. Our room was very tidy and clean, and large like most of the rooms in the Station Hotel. Magdalena was the person who cleaned our room, and it is nice to know who the staff are, and a nice personal touch. We had High Tea at the hotel, which we enjoy whenever we stay. Also, we had breakfast which has a good range of foods for vegetarians if needed, as well as a full cooked breakfast. My mother enjoyed the stay and we both slept very well and did not wake up at all. Being on the ground floor, it was very peaceful and quiet.

The hotel itself was lovely and we would definitly stay again. Nice rooms. Lovely staff. However the one thing that really let things down was the breakfast. The selection is small. The trays are tiny, if there is a queue by the time your at the front it's all empty again. The hot water for the tea machine takes forever to fill 1 cup so everyone's waiting for it.. Had to keep asking for glasses/mugs/more food to come out because as soon as a tiny tray came out so many people were waiting it was gone in seconds and the stuff that was out was cold and mushy. I've stayed in lots of hotels and this hotel itself is a great location and lovely, however I wpuldnt book breakfast again I'd go elsewhere. Especially when Hotels like crown plaza food is what makes you want to rebook! If the breakfast had an overhaul it would be a brilliant hotel all round as other than this it was great.
