Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so helpful, food and drink very good Would stay again"

Village Hotel Aberdeen

4/10 Poor

"My stay was for 16 nights for work, I discovered on my third night that the HVAC was not working in my room. I reported this to reception and was informed that they were aware of this and assured me that maintenance would be sorting it the next day, and I was supplied with a fan and a heater - given that the there are only 1 spare power sockets I had to juggle the kettle, fan, heater and charging laptop, phones, ipads etc. After further 3 days I requested a room I requested a room change and was assured that the HVAC was working in the new room. Needless to say it wasn't and I had the daily pleasure of having my hopes dashed that I would have AC that night. Sleep with the window open??? When the weather was good, smokers gather along the front of the hotel and the rooms above inevitably fill with cigarette fumes and with no HVAC to clear the room one, when the weather was bad, I spend the nights opening and closing the window to avoid window banging or rain being blown onto the window sill. I understand that the HVAC repair would take time, but once it was obvious that it wasn't being repaired, why move me to a different room with the same problem - I've spent 96 nights at the Village hotel this year, I'm going to look for alternatives after my next (already booked) stay."

Carmelite Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Quite possibly the worst hotel room we have ever had! On entering the room the disgusting smell hit us- almost like stale tobacco. We had to spray perfume/body spray to tolerate the smell. When we put down the roller blind there was graffiti on it. The sink in the bathroom was leaking onto the floor. The floor of the room was running off, walk uphill to get to the toilet, run down the hill to get to the bed! Thankfully, we only had one night booked, checked in late and checked out early. We told the member of staff when we checked out, he apologised saying hopefully it would be better next time - there will not be a next time, will not return."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Old Aberdeen?

The best time to visit Old Aberdeen is during the late spring and summer months, specifically from May to September, when the weather is generally mildest and the days are longer.

During this period, you'll experience the most pleasant conditions for exploring the university campus and its historic buildings, such as King's College and its iconic Crown Tower, or taking a stroll through the Cruickshank Botanic Garden. The longer daylight hours also mean more time to enjoy outdoor activities and the city's green spaces.

For those interested in cultural events and a lively option, August is particularly good as it often coincides with various festivals and events in the wider Aberdeen area, making it a great time for couples to enjoy the local scene. The university grounds are also less crowded with students, offering a more relaxed experience.

Solo travellers who appreciate mild weather and fewer crowds might prefer May or early June.
