Aberdeen Cathedral of St. Machar Hotels

"Smelled of perfume trying to hide fish smell and mildew smell as soon as you walk into the hotel. Overwhelming fish smell from the restaurant. The elevator and all of the carpet smelled like someone was walking around constantly spraying cologne. Had a headache the entire time. The room was clean however they put us in a room with a slanted ceiling my husband who is 6 foot three had to sit down to use the toilet to urinate because the toilet was on the wall that was slanted. It is in an excellent location and the outside of the building is beautiful. I do not recommend the restaurant. We ordered fish and chips and a pizza. The pizza tasted like it was frozen from the convenience store. The fish and chips were decent, but not great. We did enjoy the afternoon, high tea but it wasn’t spectacular just decent. Never got down to breakfast just because the smell was very offputting. "

"This was the perfect hotel to stay in while in Aberdeen. The staff were very helpful with any questions we had. The location is ideal to seeing the city, while also within walking distance to the train station. The continental breakfast was better than other hotel breakfasts that required payment. Overall, can't recommend this hotel enough for travelers."

"Perfect stay, we had a great view from our room so made note of the room number for the future - slightly dated decor, but everything was clean and in perfect working order :)"

"Had issue with room allocation initially at check-in but resolved."

"Nice staff, good restaurant"

"My only issue with the room is that it was too dark to see well to do my hair. The only mirror is on the wardrobe door and it’s right beside the room door where there’s no lights. Otherwise I had a lovely stay. "

"The hotel part of the property is closed with only the bar open. The business was sold 3 months ago. The new owner seems nice. When we arrived we were politely informed that there was no room for us or anyone else. We booked 5 months ago and no one told us that we had been cancelled 3 months ago. "

"Unfortunately, my experience was far from what was advertised. The condition of the hotel did not match the images presented online, which I found to be misleading. Upon entering my room, I was very concerned to find that the bedding had visible burn marks, consistent with cigarette damage. No headboard for the single beds. In addition, there were both dead and live moths present on and around the bed, which is completely unacceptable from a hygiene standpoint. The overall cleanliness of the room was also poor. Thread bare carpet, marks & stain in the bath. There was a noticeable build-up of dust on the skirting boards and along the tops of the windows. Furthermore, the room had a very strong smell of bleach, which made the environment uncomfortable and raised concerns about how the room had been maintained. I did raise this with reception, and brought him proof of its condition. Advised I would like a refund he said I would need to take it up with my booking agents and he would authorise this. This experience fell significantly below the standard I would expect and has caused considerable dissatisfaction. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter "

"Excellent as usual.great hosts and good breakfast."
