Fronting onto a major route it was easy to access. There is a bus stop right outside, with off road parking at rear. It was very peaceful. Our room was large, bright, airy and very comfortable, with the smart tv we were able to watch a Netflix film (it was snowy February).

Great food, comfortable bed, lovely host
I thought the place I stayed in Dublin was lovely and now I find myself without a string enough positive adjective to do justice to how wonderful the Aurora Guest House is! Love the area-bus 19 stops outside the front door. Very quiet and comfortable bed for sleeping. Delicious and nutritious breakfast. Great old railway paved trail nearby for running and close to the Winter Garden at Duthie Park as well as easy brisk walk to city center. Cannot say enough good things about Pamela and how welcome she made me feel. Best guest house in which I have ever stayed!

The Aurora shines brightly in Aberdeen
The guesthouse is situated on Great Western Road, within easy access of Aberdeen city centre, either on foot or by bus. A couple of nearby hotels have restaurants providing evening meals and there is an award-winning and very popular fish and chip restaurant nearby. The Aurora's owners were very welcoming and helpful as far as offering advice about the area, bus services and so on was concerned. The breakfast room is light and airy and there's plenty of choice on offer for breakfast, including weekly specials such as smoked salmon and scrambled egg. Special dietary requirements are catered for too. My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this guesthouse to anyone needing accommodation in Aberdeen.

Best B&B I've stayed at in Aberdeen!
This was my first time staying at Aurora Guest House and would definitely return in the future! I live outside the city and from time to time need a room for an overnight stay. This is hands down the best B&B I've used in Aberdeen. You can tell the owners put great care into this place. The location is fantastic and within easy walking distance of the city centre. I was greeted on arrival into a warm, cosy reception area and offered delicious looking home bakes and tea or coffee. The room was clean, warm, cosy and quiet. Also easily the most comfortable bed I've ever had at a B&B or regular hotel - it was like being at home! There is a fantastic selection for home cooked breakfasts in the morning and mine was delicious. The service and quality along with price make Aurora a top choice in my opinion and I will definitely come back if need a room in town again.

This is a great bed and breakfast to use when in Aberdeen. Pam and David are the perfect hosts, location is very good with only a 20 minute walk or 5 minute bus ride downtown, rooms are good, breakfast is excellent and parking is free and on site. Definitely recommended.

Top quality at a reasonable price
Everything outstanding. The room was well decorated and fresh. The bathroom had top quality fittings - not the usual rickety affair that you get in most Aberdeen B&Bs. Bed was blissfully comfortable. Downstairs a lovely cosy sitting area with a fire and stack of dvds for the insomniacs. The dining area is light and cheerful with a view to the garden which grows some of the breakfast ingredients. Breakfast was worthy of a fine restaurant: a choice of two special and a generous but light full Scottish. The hosts are delightful and helpful. Private parking. All at a very good price.
