We stayed here for one night after visiting the Braemar Gathering. Nice and friendly B&B located near the city centre of Aberdeen. We had a large room en-suite. Although only continental breakfast was offered, which was ok, we got a tasty porridge (our first one) John - the host - is a friendly, chatty person and especially if you are... More

Just got back from Aberdeen where we stayed 2 nights at this guest house. John, the owner is the perfect host, with always a word (or two) to say to get you chatting. Our room was lovely - clean and pleasant with an en-suite that was spotless. The complementary bottled water was a nice extra and very much appreciated. Would... More

I have stayed here a few times and am always made to feel very welcome by John and his wife. The rooms are kitted out with everything you need as are the bathrooms and it is absolutely spotless. Happy customer!

Just few words to describe Mr. John Mackay's Guest House: clean, comfortable, warm....great!!! We arrived in Aberdeen with a lot of great expectations about the city. Generally speaking, the city is not as good as we hoped, but the Aldersyde Guest House was absolutely beyond every brightest expectation. John is a real Scottish gentleman: cheerful, extremely polite, full of good... More

I stayed at Aldersyde with my girlfriend for two days - from arrival to departure everything was just 5 star! We had lovely chats with our host John - just as friendly as one can possibly imagine (not exaggerating!) He gave us really nice tips for Aberdeen and also for our tour through scotland. He even told my gf how... More

I stayed at this guest house more than two weeks... I was used most of their rooms..every thing was perfect ...clean, quiet, close to city center & very welcome people.. John is the best ...... I was recommended this place for many friends who are visiting Aberdeen and they were very pleasure to stay at this place

My sister and I stayed two nights at the Aldersyde. John was a delightful host. Our room was very comfortable, spacious with a lovely little ensuite bathroom. We enjoyed breakfasts. We were located on the middle floor and it did get a bit noisy when the upstairs tenants came home, but that didn't last long. John was kind enough to... More

Just got back from a three night stay at the Aldersyde. Perfect picture on what a three star B&B should be. John is a gracious host who likes to talk to people, so if you want to be left alone and not chat stay somewhere else. Good size room, nice bathroom (ensuite - though some rooms had private bathrooms in... More

Stayed twice in June whilst working away from home. Very welcoming. First stay was in a tiny room on the top floor, just enough room for a single bed and a walk to the door. Uses a shared shower room and toilet, but was very clean. Although small, was comfortable and clean and suitable for what I needed. Second stay... More
