Hotel was ideally placed for access to the city centre. The room was clean and tidy. Shower is great. Sports Bar downstairs was lively, but not intrusive. Food was lovely, however, staff were a bit slow.

Awful Experience Never again!

Don’t stay here. Absolutely appalling experience! Was given a key to a room that wasn’t clean … Twice this happened! Eventually got us a room that wasn’t anything like we asked for. Not only that, they charged me twice for the room and when I asked for proof of refund they provided nothing. Now I have to chase up with my bank for my refund.

Cheap and cheerful

You get what you pay for I suppose. Staff all very friendly. Lively bar and restaurant downstairs if that’s your thing. My room was on the top floor above where the smokers hang out all day from the bar. Thankfully far enough away not to be bothered. Room was ok. Very tired. Stained carpet and cigarette butts all over the balcony. Floorboards unbelievably squeaky. Felt bad for my neighbours every time I moved in the room. Could hear people in next room talking, not loudly. There are only about 4 parking spaces and staff seem to use them. I got in there one out of 4 nights. Free parking in nearby streets and it’s a safe neighbourhood. I didn’t complain about anything. It was just me on the trip and have stayed in worse places. Wi-Fi worked well and the bed and bathroom were clean. Wouldn’t take my family here though.

The Hotel is geared towards the Tradie clientele. The room we stayed in had mould on the ceiling, dirty windows, stank of smoke and cheap deodoriser. The hotel and rooms look like they were decorated in the 90's and haven't had any update since. This place is ok if you want a posh Crack Den but i wouldnt stay here again or recommend it.

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.
