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.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Old Aberdeen hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Old Aberdeen hotel?

Hotel prices in Old Aberdeen often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

"Yes it is an older hotel and the rebrand is still in progress. The price reflects this, we booked 2 rooms for just over £40 each for a night in August. The rooms were quiet and the beds were clean and comfortable. TV channels were a bit hit and miss - one only had BBC and the other the only access was via the apps ( I-player, netflix etc). It looks like it is an area set for redevelopment, house building programme across the road."

Top Old Aberdeen Hotel Reviews

The Aberdeen Dyce Hotel

8/10 Good

"The was clean with air-conditioning. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The location was convenient with parking at discounted price. The breakfast was good and the dinner, fantastic. I recommend the hotel."

Courtyard by Marriott Aberdeen Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Courtyard Marriott is a beautifully decorated and furnished hotel. The quality of all the accessories, ie towels, toiletries, tea and coffee making utensils were of an exceptionally high standard. The room was spotless and very comfortable with stylish furniture and a large screen television. Ample storage and large walk in shower added to our comfortable stay. Staff were friendly and went above and beyond to be helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast with a great choice of cereals, fruit, cheese, ham and traditional hot breakfast. Definitely recommend."

Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Pros:The front desk staff were very helpful. The room was well appointed and very clean. The onsite restaurant was very good and our server (Jay) was fantastic. Cons: The room we had was, unfortunately out one and into another fire door that was very difficult to navigate with luggage. The spa was not well staffed and we were unable to book anything for our stay. I suggest you check very early after booking if you want to use the spa/massage services."
