Room was moth ridden, and somewhat of a downgrade from previous stays. Cheap prison soap, tired room and very much a B&B vibe, which is a poor show for the price. Clearly got the cheap seats this time around. Late check and early start so simply hid my bags in the bathroom and hope the moths don’t get in. All in a bit of a disappointment. Have stayed in worse, but paid a lot less for it, and not in Europe… If I was staying for a wedding or as more than an overnighter, I’d be wanting a refund.

Wasn’t explained any information at check-in; had to ask about breakfast and check out time. Was shown to a lift to get to our room. Lots of moths in the room and not enough shampoo or shower gel for 2 people for 2 nights. Desk also had dried chocolate under one of the leaflets and dead flies on window sill. Breakfast was fine, staff at that were lovely. Drinks at the wedding were extortionate: the fact you don’t do dashes is ridiculous. Having to buy a bottle of Coke every time to go with a spirit is daylight robbery. No one at the desk for check out, I rang the bell twice. Another couple appeared to check out too (at 11am). Eventually a man came, no apology or asking how the stay was. Just took the key and said that’s fine.

Norwood Hall Hotel, Aberdeen Norwood Hall Hotel presents a striking first impression with its richly panelled interiors in the reception, bar, and restaurant areas, evoking a sense of traditional Scottish elegance. However, our stay was in the more modern wing, which offered a refreshing contrast. Our room was spacious, tastefully appointed, and exceptionally comfortable. We dined in-house and thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal of fish and chips, which was well-prepared and satisfying. Breakfast the following morning was equally impressive, with a generous selection and high-quality ingredients and excellent service. Throughout our stay, the service was consistently excellent. Norwood Hall blends classic charm with modern comfort, making it a memorable and enjoyable base for exploring Aberdeen.
