Ellon Golf Hotel

"Hotel certainly fine, but our room (128) was terribly placed for being woken at 6am by pounding techno music and someone screaming over a PA system to motivate a gym class …. Had an early morning appointment in the vicinity and only stayed in hotel so I could get a long lie instead of waking up at 6am at home …. If you like sleeping at 6am you’d be advised to ask to stay on a higher floor or the other end… no idea where the sound was coming from but once it woke us up it was too annoying to get back to sleep! "

"Good choice of items at breakfast. Very close to bus and train stations and shopping centre "

"Lovely"

"The receptionist was far from welcoming - very matter of fact. I enquired to see if there was any cancellation with a dog friendly room - shrugged her shoulders and that was a no - not even I am sorry. Bar staff where we could take a dog was over the top - as we walked in announced to whole bar we were walking in - there was a very loud child approx 9 yrs old who he was encouraging to be even louder - we moved table. We have stayed here a few times but will not be back."

"The location is convenient, staff are super friendly and food in the restaurant is very good. But the problem is that the rooms are not at all noise proof and the temperature controls are useless. I had a sleepless night in a cold and noisy room."

"Comfortable beds and good size rooms. "

"Positives: Breakfast had a good selection. Staff were nice. Hotel was very clean. Rooms were spacious. Good central location. Less Positive but not negatives; Double bed was on the small side and the room got very warm through the night. Have stayed more than once and would definitely return."

"The Station Hotel has a very convenient location—right across from the train station / Union Square and within walking distance of the city centre. The price is reasonable, which makes it appealing for budget travellers. However, I wouldn’t stay here again. The room showed clear signs of wear and tear, particularly the bathroom door, which was falling apart at the bottom, and missing grout in many of the floor tiles. The double bed was actually two singles pushed together at different heights, which made it uncomfortable. Because of its location, the hotel was very noisy, and it seemed there was little soundproofing between the windows and the road meaning we barely slept. Staff were friendly, but the reception area had an overpowering smell. Non-smokers will also find it unpleasant that people smoke right at the main entrance. Overall, while the location and price are good, the room condition, noise, and entrance environment mean I would not return."

"Stayed solo for a week for local business and discussions. Accomodation basic but clean and suitable for someone who's main need is a bed/breakfast but probably not for anyone looking for a relax and hotel-main stay - though not really advertised as such. Beds harder generally but comfortable. Heater in room needed as it got cold but bedding more geared to heat. Owners/Employees very friendly and acommodating - probably the most commendable part. Willing to even sit down with me and chat as a solo traveller which was a lovely gesture. Really good at highlighting local sites and things to see/do which, while I didn't need, was laudable. The food is basic pub-grub but suitable for when you just need a meal and bed - there's better places around to eat out for sure but it won't cause any dramas. Topped up amenities (tea/coffee/bottled water) each day. Rooms cleaned to a standard that offers no complaint. Clearly still in development - lots of loose pallets and damaged furniture outside but off season and new management so again, makes sense. Would recommend as a local bolt-hole for visiting local family or if spending majority out of the hotel. Some work to do to make it the same worth price wise as other Hotels in the area but clear potential."
