I had a quick overnighter at the Great Western. Seems to be a good and conveniently located hotel. I was able to park (fee free!). Just a 10 minute walk to Aberdeen High Street. The room was clean, had a comfortable bed and good heating. I was in and out with no issues.

Balcony room

Everything was very clean and we opted for a room with a balcony which is great when the sun is shining, the downside being that the room was very warm and the only form of ventilation was opening the patio doors onto the balcony. This did not detract from our stay, however, and the staff we met were very pleasant.

One night business stay

This was a room only booking as the hotel does not offer breakfast. However the room was better than I expected. It was clean, warm, comfortable and provided all I needed for a one night stay. Initially I was a little concerned it might be noisy and difficult to get sleep as room was located directly above the reception and bar area but it was quiet and I did not experience any problems. Happy to stay here again.

Convenient for the city centre.

The hotel was in a gairly good location to the city centre. Only about a 15 minute walk to Union Street. There was no on site parking but you can park on the side street, close to the reception. Overall condition of the room was pretty good. The bed was a little uncomfortable, that could just be because of personal preferences. Bathroom was good but there was quite a lot of mold on the platform next to the shower.

Revisiting early days in Aberdeen

Visiting old work colleagues and sites after having worked in Aberdeen 37 years ago. Changes to the city were to be expected. The food was was excellent as was the service and the staff in general. I chose the Malacca, although it was not the original, it had memories of my wife and I meeting at the original restaurant 47 years ago, and chose it to celebrate our 44th anniversary. The hotel lacked certain amenities, rooms were adequate and clean. However the room was noisy especially from the floor above. The view was over some back gardens. The lack of breakfast service was not too much of a problem, there being a small café a few minutes walk along Great Western Road.

Stayed for 2 nights. Hotel looks nice from the outside, parking isn’t great just space for 5 cars so it’s just your luck if you manage to get a space. The room was nice enough just basic, little storage space. Floors creaked a lot and you could hear folk in adjacent rooms, light bulbs were out in the bathroom and there was no extractor fan so when using the shower it got steamy quickly, they did have lovely toiletries which I always appreciate, they give plenty tea and coffee in the room and you can always get extra if needed. The room itself was really hot no air conditioning but was able to make use of the small balcony and kept the door open slightly overnight. The staff were nice, check in was alright no issues. There is a lovely bar and restaurant and they have pool table and darts. A nice place to stay and it was fairly comfortable.

Reception is secured by a keypad, which we were not informed of code,and bell.which we tried more than twice with no response but eventually allowed entry by another customer. Bar patrons were smoking next to reception which was disgusting as we had to stand in a smoky atmosphere before we got entry. On entry again bell to summon receptionist and again a wait. Advertised car parking. Very limited 6 spaces for 25 plus rooms and know 1 was taken by staff but suspect more were staff so really no parking for patrons. Room was clean and tidy and bed clean and comfortable but toilet seat was not secure and slid all over the place. Only mirror was in bathroom which caused problems especially with my wife as she uses a mirror most mornings to dry and style hair and apply makeup which I think would apply to most women. We decided to choose the=is hotel as it was here that we met and definetely not up to the high standard of The Struan Hotel as it was then. Summing up were very disappointed as we could have paid the same for a hotel with breakfast included and better kept facilities and more hospitable.
