Aberdeen Old Castle of Slains Hotels

"Fantastic staff, so helpful, cannot do enough for you. I have stayed here multiple times and the rooms are lovely, spacious and clean. This hotel is very central. Will definitely stay here again "

"Unfortunate that our room had been previously occupied by a heavy smoker. Windows are sealed and air con doesn’t work, so air cannot move. Otherwise it would have been a nice stay. Clean bathroom, big smart tv. Clean bedding."

"Unfortunately the room I was in the shower curtain was covered in mold and stank out the room when I heated the shower up. Unable to open the windows the room was full of the smell mold and gave me a sore head and made me feel sick. Woken to the sound of someone spitting in the hall way. It’s cheap for a reason. "

"The rooms were so dusty and not properly cleaned. We had to ask for different rooms twice and each rooms were as dirty and unclean as the previous ones. Even in the reception area there were so many dirt on the floor, cobwebs at the other side of the hotel. Goodness if not I spent just a night I would have requested for a full refund. Although the staff were friendly but the uncleanliness of that place was not something to be accepted. "

"Comfortable, warm, clean room with good shower "

"The place looked quite ominous and derelict with poor signage. There were signs asking for car parking payment, although parking costs were included in the accommodation package. Reception staff did nothing to help clarify this, indeed adding to this confusion for a short while. The accommodation was not as described. Which is really my main gripe. I have nothing against under-par, or budget accommodation, but it helps forward planning, to get what is expected from a description. In our room, the floors/carpets were stained and unclean, with the previous visitors' rubbish remaining under beds and next to bed settee. I wore slippers during my stay. The toilet-paper holder was broken. Apparently there was poo on the toilet seat (my partner cleaned it before I saw it). The rail for hanging clothes was absent (broken off). The kettle switch was faulty. There were no welcome instructions, literature, teas, coffees, milks or sugars etc. On the plus side, the reception staff were pleasant enough; the bed linen and towels were clean; the shower was good; toiletries were provided, and inner curtains were clean and provided so the room was dark enough during the night. The window opened. The place was quiet. So I slept well and left as early as I could in the morning. Short drive to a nice deserted beach."
