Ardoe House Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff I encountered were excellent in their politeness and attention and by that I mean each one of them."

Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, decent beds and good value. Right next to the airport"

The Lodges At Craigendarroch Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"everything very good"

Holiday Inn Aberdeen West by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was as you'd expect for a Holiday Inn. No frills but perfectly fine and reasonably priced. Great to have free parking as it bugs me when you have to pay parking as an extra, so that ruled out many Aberdeen hotels. Breakfast had a good choice of items and staff were friendly."

Balmoral Arms

8/10 Good

"Great location"

Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Royal Deeside

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, spacious room and perfect location as a hub to explore the Highlands."

Moxy Aberdeen Airport

8/10 Good

"Good location close airport"

Cambus o'May Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staying in a single room for the night. Old fashioned hotel in a stunning location. Clean and comfortable. Shower facilities good. Very peaceful and relaxing. Had a great nights sleep. Continental breakfast was okay at best. Avoid the fruit bowl. Saw several flies hovering over it. Plus the coffee machine was erratic. When it did work, the quality of the coffee was not great. Just two minor blemishes in an otherwise enjoyable stay."

Tor Na Coille Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a hidden gem. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The breakfast included is a wonderful treat."
