My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for a family of 4, although a bit far from the reception. The key issue I had, probably due to my own mistake, was a bit frustrating. The service was fantastic, especially thanks to the very helpful receptionist, Cerys. The location was convenient for my business trip and allowed me to attend the Stonehaven Fireballs event. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some chaos in the buffet line, but the food quality was impressive.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The rooms were beautifully presented, clean, and very comfortable, but we were surrounded by younger children and had noise disruptions from a nearby birthday party. The service was friendly and efficient overall, making our time enjoyable, despite some language barriers. The location was selected for business convenience, being close to our destination, but lacked charm being in an industrial area. Dining offered a good variety, although we faced challenges with cold breakfast options. The facilities were adequate but had minor issues we encountered during our stay.

The hotel is a 5-minute taxi or 10-minute bus ride from the city center, great for relaxing. However, being outside of the Aberdeen CBD meant a bit of a distance from the city center.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was clean and cozy, but being an executive double, it felt quite small. The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff, although I wished they could go a bit beyond standard service.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though it would have been better if there were mini fridges in each room and a larger smoking area with seats. The location was convenient for my family, close to the town center, although taxis were difficult to get at times.
