“Excellent and even better”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

I stayed at the Thistle Altens in march whilst running a training course there. Attention to detail was brilliant, from a welcome phone call to check the room was okay to the minutiae in the bathroom in the way of top class toiletries. The Otium pool is a decent size for a morning swim. The lounge bar menu extensive and... More

“Best Thistle hotel in Aberdeen”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

Have stayed in all the thistle hotels in Aberdeen but this is by far the best. Very relaxing with pool, sauna, spa, complimentary gowns and slippers provided (not in other thistles unless paying out of your nose!), nice rooms and nice staff.
