Top Stonehaven Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen

Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen

10/10 Excellent
"The room was nice and clean and bright with a great view of the train station. And the hotel was attached to the train station and Union Square which was very helpful when I arrived by train at 10:00 at night. I did have trouble finding the street entrance since I arrived so late at night - the main entrance is through the mall. The hotel is modern and much newer than most buildings in the area. It can't get any closer to the train station and bus station, and the shopping mall is a bonus."

Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lovely stay in a beautiful historic house Ardoe House is a grand and impressive building, with beautiful panelled walls and plenty of character. The staff were excellent throughout our stay—friendly, welcoming and attentive. Our Classic Room was spacious and comfortable, with an excellent shower in the bathroom. There were also plenty of plug sockets in convenient locations around the bedroom, which was a nice practical touch. The dining room is very well presented and provides a lovely setting for dinner. The lamb main course was absolutely stunning and definitely the highlight of the meal. We did, however, feel that the starters and desserts were somewhat overpriced for what was served. Outside, the grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, providing a pleasant setting around the house. The location is also very convenient, being only around 15 minutes from Aberdeen city centre while still offering the feel of a country house retreat. Overall, a very enjoyable stay in a beautiful historic property, with great staff, comfortable rooms and an excellent main course. A solid 4-star experience as advertised."
