Royal Athenaeum Suites 15 Union Street, Aberdeen AB11 5BU

"Stayed for a week here - generally ok but the first room I was given had a few faults so was moved to another which was fine. As others have said it can be quite noisy with the pub downstairs. Reception isn’t manned 24hrs which may or may not be an issue. On the whole fairly comfortable but there could better checks done to identify problems in the rooms before guest arrives."

"Had a room on the 4th floor, top of the building. Room was OK, spacious enough and well equipped, however, the room was very noisy, especially at night when the drunken homeless were shouting sometimes until 5am! Also, the bed and pillows were the worst we've ever experienced, uncomfortable and rock hard causing my wife and I to have several sleepless nights! Breakfast both continental and self service (we tried both) were not particularly good, with limited choice."

"Really well equipped and roomy. Better than a conventional hotel. Centrally located for Merchant Quarter. Would love to know what make mattress they use as the bed was very comfy. My room had a view all the way up Union street but couldnt see much for the dirt on the outside of windows, but that would be my only gripe"

"I stayed in these apartments only a week after they had opened in June and I was incredibly impressed! Great location right in the middle of the city and I had an amazing view of the whole of Aberdeen's main street. I was there for three nights and was delighted by how they were presented. The decor is of a really high standard and I had everything I could want at my finger tips including a very spacious living area and the kitchen was nicer than my own! The bathroom was lovely - it had quite a large bath which I loved and they even had smart TV's. I would highly recommend these apartments - they are the best I have stayed in in Aberdeen."

"Fantastic Apartments - Calm & Quiet in Aberdeen City Centre. Five star apartments and concierge service. I stayed here in June when visiting my daughter, and the apartment was stunning - they are obviously brand new and finished to a really high standard. the TV had more channels and gadgets than I knew what to do with, and the fully functional kitchen was more than I needed for 2 nights as we ate out both nights. Good for a cup of coffee in the morning, underfloor heating in the bathroom is a nice touch and the view out onto the little square with the town clock is beautiful. I was a bit worried about staying right in the centre, but was surprised by how little noise there was in both the bedroom and the lounge - got a great nights sleep both nights, and the bed has two soft pillows and two firm - which was perfect for me as I prefer a firm pillow and its often a struggle in a hotel to get the pillows arranged right! I needed to get a taxi to the airport and the young receptionist was happy to order for me for the morning, and she recommended a great place for dinner round the corner (fab fish and chips!) Will definitely be back!"
