This hotel looks ok downstairs, very dated but clean enough. But, beyond this, it goes massively downhill. I checked in, (staying on business) and was given my room allocation, used the lift up to the 3rd floor and honestly thought it was going to get stuck! Arrived in my room and pure disgust! The stench was terrible and with a... more

Due to the limited availability of Hotels available at the last minute and weighing up our options we decided to stay here. I could go into detail about the duration of our stay for the night but my main problem was how incredibly uncomfortable the mattress was and the noise of screeching students spilling out of Liquid Nightclub. I phoned... more

In spite of claiming to have been recently revamped, this hotel is in serious need of TLC. There was secondary double glazing in our room - and it was needed because of the hordes of clubbers around until about 3 in the morning. However, we could not close the first window, so this meant the double glazing effect was rather... more

Stayed here because of bad weather offshore could not get out to oil rig. The worst hotel in aberdeen I have stayed at in 32 years of offshore travel. It sits straight accross a narrow street from a night club and is very noisy till three in the morning. Then the drunken yobs come out. The room was disgusting in... more

Stayed in this hotel for 1 night due to a weather delay offshore. The reception, bar and restaurant where ok. However the room itself was not very good. It looked tired and in need of serious decoration. The bathroom had stains on the ceiling and a hole punched in the wall. The taps on the bath where loose and the... more

Stayed at this hotel mid July 2008. Booked because of location and their own web site said that the hotel had recently been refurbished. Arrived to find the no smoking room we booked was stinking of smoke, had fittings in the bathroom coming off the walls, water marks all over the ceiling as if it had recently had a water... more

Stayed there for one night. Room was in a corner on the fourth floor, dark and with paper peeling in the bathroom, where there was lino on the floor that looked grubby even though it was clean. There was a waterproof mattress cover which was really horrid. Next morning when I contemplated a shower I discovered a bloodstain on the... more

I stayed in the Royal hotel for 1 night in Dec 07 when going to a gig in Aberdeen. The hotel has got a lot of potential and is in a great location 5 min walk from the train station and across the road from nightclubs and bars. However the hotel is in need of a revamp urgently. The rooms... more

The Royal looks rather forbidding, tucked away in a side street in the middle of Aberdeen. Inside, it could do with refurbishment : the decor and carpets are a bit worn. But in most respects the hotel functions well and has a good feel. I had a single room with a comfortable double bed, a good shower, plenty of towels... more
