I arrived here in late January for a two seek stay. My job has recently moved to Scotland and Skene House offered temporary accommodation to enable me to look for a more permanent solution. I was staying in a 3 bedroomed furnished apartment and all-in-all it was immaculate. It offered plenty of space and even had a kitchen and a... More

After reading all these nice reviews I got quite disappointed with my stay. It is actually not a hotel, but more of a flat aparments out of the 50's, looked like a hounted mansion from the outside. But this is what the Aberdeen architecture is about. I would not stay here again if coming back to Aberdeen. Pros: Location -... More

I wrote an in depth review a number of weeks ago but for some reason it would not upload. I think it may have been because I tried to upload photo's at the same time. Anyway, quick review this time.

Stayed here for one night with our two kids. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw from the west end of Union Street. Free parking! Checked in no problem, the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The concierge took us to our apartment and showed us round the rooms. The apartment was quite old fashioned but very clean and... More

We have stayed here many times and love these apartments. They have everhthing you could need from wi-fi to washing machines - including tea, coffee in the cupboards and a pint of milk in the fridge. The staff are lovely and very helpful, the little honesty bar is great - your first drink is free but then you just fill... More

As with all the other reviews we found the Holburn Skene House experience, by and large, a very good one. It is in a very good location and the apartment was clean and very comfortable. We were combining a business trip with seeing my daughter and the price for the three night stay (including the weekend) was excellent. My wife... More

Stayed for two nights, couldn't fault the place. Spacious, very clean and comfortable suites, pleasant and really attentive staff, excellent breakfast, located two minutes from the city centre at a fraction of the cost of a small pokey corporate hotel. If you are staying in Aberdeen you would be mad not to try Skene House Holburn. More

My husband and I thoroughly recommend the Skene House Holburn. Skene House is effectively a hotel, but instead of just one room, they provide you with an entire apartment. It is excellent value for money at £61 per night booked on LateRooms. For this, we stayed in a fully furnished and equipped apartment with 2 bedrooms, received a complimentary drink... More
