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

The Royal Hotel is located in a quiet little street (Bath St) very close the the very city centre (Union Street, Belmont Street, etc.). The staff is very helpful. My room was very small and not convenient (twin bedroom ~ 70+ £). The bathroom had no shelves and was very basic (neon-lit, dubious green lino that hadn't been washed for... more

I stayed in this hotel with a colleague. Our rooms were on the top floor and when we arrived the lift was broken; we asked for help with our cases but were told that none was available. Having made two trips with the cases and headed out for dinner we returned to discover that the life had been fixed, but... more

Hotel was okay, could do with some redecoration though. Room was huge. We were on the 4th floor (room 404) and we had 3 separate rooms. Main part with bed, 28inch tv, wardrobe, chest of drawers and 3 chairs. Bathroom was also a fair size. Then we discovered that our room had an upstairs!! This has another 28inch tv and... more

As a business traveller to Aberdeen over a number of years, this was my first trip to the Royal Hotel. The location is excellent, just off Union Street and close to the rail station. The hotel itself was mixed. On the plus side, the evening meals that I had were good value and promptly served. I found the staff to... more

Although staff are very nice the hotel is not. The first room we were put in the bed tiltled towards the door as the floor had an incline on it, the second room was flat and a bit better but the bathroom had a hole in the ceiling. Although the brochure said the bar had been refurbished this was still... more

We stayed at the Royal one night and I must say the staff there are the friendliest and most helpful Ive met in a long time . We had a nice sized room with a very comfortable bed and a decent sized ensuite . Breakfast was ample and varied , it would have been nice if they had Scottish oaten... more
