This hotel was only five minutes drive from the city centre and easy to find. From the outside the hotel is less than impressive, needs a good coat of paint as looks pretty drab outside. Inside, however was clean, tidy and bright. The room was spacious and clean, we had a travl cot and there was ample room for it.... more

We went to the Altens for a family wedding. I was very impressed when i saw our bedroom i thought it was lovely and felt at home straight away. The wedding reception was great and the food the hotel provided was excellent. Breakfast in the morning was fine but as we were near 10.30am which was the latest time to... more

The hotel is out of town on the edge of an industrial estate. The location is fine if your travelling on from Aberdeen but too far out for those expecting to walk into town (its about a 30 minute drive). The foyer and public areas of the hotel are all modern and clean. Oddly the hotel website has only photos... more

The hotel is not bad. It does appear to be an older hotel but most of Scotland appears to be that way. We stayed here two times during or 8 days in Scotland. For the weekend we drove done to Edinburgh then returned. The first 3 nights we were on the 3rd floor in an older unrefurbished room. I must... more

I stayed in this hotel for one night only, thankfully, with my husband who was there on business. The room was obviously not one of the refurbished ones, which we didnt realise may have been available. The bed and bedding were clean but no valances on the bases and the room definately had a strange smell. The bathroom was not... more

Good - Clean hotel. Leisure facilities at no extra cost to residents. Rooms clean, comfortable and very spacious. Bad - Hotel a bit dated, but noticed that they were spending money on bringing it up to date. Hotel lost my booking, but did their best to rectify situation. Food menu was not that great. No draught beer in bar (problems... more

After reading the last 4 quite frankly poor reviews I had to add one of my own. I could not find fault with is hotel at all! We had an executive room which was quite easily bigger than some peoples living rooms at home. To huge double beds, flat screen tv, lovely decor and a dressing room leading into the... more

I admit it was the only hotel room that my PA could find for tonight but I can see exactly why that would be the case. Its perfectly located admist its industrial neighbours and reminds me of hotels I have stayed at in Moscow. OK there is renovation work going on but that does not excuse the lack of cleanliness... more
