14 November 2009 I found the service from reception onwards to be excellent in every respect - lovely clean room and very attentive staff who went out of their way to enhance our stay. The breakfast was superior and the service could not be faulted. We had two rooms with a cot in each (one baby and a 2 year... more

This was our second stay here - The room we were allocated this time was warm, comfortable and clean albeit extremely unusual in that there was no door to the bathroom i.e. open plan bedroom / bathroom. It would be a good idea for staff to ask guests if they would be comfortable with such a lay out as it... more

On arrival we were charged twice for our room (credit card) after being assured that the first transaction (wrong amount) was cancelled. We then were given the wrong type room which we were immediately upgraded to what we had paid for. The room we eventually settled in was big spacious and had a big bathroom. The decor is dated but... more

Simpsons is in the centre of Aberdeen and therefore the sunny decor is just a tad out of place, more suited to the Riviera perhaps. Room was spacious and well firnished and most importantly clean. The bright green furniture and orange wallpaper were a bit bright and the gold lame shower curtain was bizarre. The loo was very dark and... more

While dining at Simpson's Hotel with my girlfriend, we were to find out what paying way over the odds for an average meal meant. My girlfriend had the goat's cheese lasagne while I had the Sea Bass. On taking one look at my girlfriends dish all I could see was about 20 small mushrooms swimming in a white runny sauce.... more

Stayed overnight and enjoyed a beautiful meal. The corridors were admittedly dated in their decor but only cause of the Mediterranean style. However we had a lovely newly decorated room, which was really pleasant and had a good feel to it. The Restaurant is really something and the food was beautiful. The steak was perfect and the dessert was very... more

Coming in, I expected a warm welcome by the resteraunt manager, but we were ignored and moved on by to our table - not the best start! With hardly any choice from the menu, I opted for the "Goats Cheese Lasange". When it arrived at the table, it looked like a five year olds attempt at cooking. I couldn't even... more

Avoid the food. Ate there once and spent that evening vomiting and feeling very unwell. Called to complain and the phone was hung up in my ear. E-mailed complaint and did not receive a reply. Food at the time was very average. My duck was dry and over-cooked. Stingy with the vegetables. Took an age for main to arrive and... more

I have been staying here for the last few years when in Aberdeen on business. Unfortunately this appears to be the hotel of choice for my company. Although the hotel has a good reputation it has various area's that I see as shortcomings. A previous reviewer mentioned the rooms below the reception as being noisy. This is also the case... more
