Plus points are the location, cleanliness of the room and the price. Downsides are security of the building, condition of the rooms and facilities ... bit of a mixed bag.

Very dated room but clean. We had a deluxe suite with 2 double beds. The only complaint was that the room was freezing cold. Would gave been nice to have extra duvets. Room was very clean, great location. Bargain for the price. Spare duvets it the only recommendation

Room could do with some minor touch ups as showing signs of wear but generally okay and for what I paid for 10 nights I would consider value for money. Very basic but I knew that when booking and as I was working away I just needed somewhere to sleep and shower and this was perfect for that. Bed was comfortable, staff friendly on reception and room was warm and cosy. Enjoyed the stay, would stay again next time i'm working up in Aberdeen. Little co-op shop just down the road and the highstreet a couple of mins walk away so a decent location. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Rooms need to be cleaned and hotel services need massive improvements as nobody came to clean rooms since we checked in. Overall only the food was good that we had at the hotel

Nice place to stay.
Very comfortable and spacious room. The shower was amazing. Good intenet and tv. Walking distance to the busy section of Aberdeen, yet a quiet area. Towel warmer in the bathroom. I did like the electronic locks on the doors, no need to worry about losing a key. The staff were helpful and friendly. Only complaint would be is that breakfast was listed as starting at 8, but nothing was ready, so we were not able to partake.

I stayed for five nights and was delighted with the quality of the room facilities, breakfast and service. This is a budget hotel, but the double room I stayed in was lovely and clean with a fabulous en suite, a nice big TV and comfortable bed. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with a great choice of cold and hot options, served buffet style. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, especially Reuben and the young woman who served breakfast. I had a fabulous stay and would definitely return whenever I need accommodation in Aberdeen. For an affordable, comfortable hotel ideally located in the city centre, this hotel is a perfect choice. I would highly recommend. Thank you to the staff team for a lovely stay!

The Highland Hotel (now merged with the Brentwood Hotel next door) is on Crown Street, less than ten minutes walk from Aberdeen bus and train station. It is just off Union Street which is the main central street in Aberdeen (the equivalent of Princes Street, Edinburgh - sort of!). We stayed for 3 days, breakfast included. The room, towels, and bed linen were spotless. But the whole hotel is 'tired'. There is no lift, but the reception man will carry up the cases for you. Usual tea and biscuits in the room. hairdryer, iron and board. and case stand. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, kind and cheerful. Responsive to any requests. The breakfasts were as good as in any hotel.(could be hotter at times) And they need a newer, quicker, toaster! The hotel is an excellent centre for travel in the Aberdeen area. Since 2 hotels have merged the room numbers are similar, so ensure which of the 2 hotels you are booked in at.
