The hotel is in an excellent location just off Union Street with lots of little cafes and different shops around it. The staff are very friendly and helpful, whilst the room is clean and comfortable. A gluten free breakfast included in the price is an added bonus!

The staff at check in insist the email on the booking page is not mine and then aggressively want my card on file without explanation! I understand this is standard but he needs to explain everything to a customer, besides I believe leaving cc details is no longer a practice!

We stayed in the Holiday Inn for 4 nights from Tuesday 30th of December 2025 to Saturday 3rd of January 2026. We weren't impress with the incidental pre-payment as we felt unwelcome by this. This is not a British standard. It is an imported Americanism which is not wanted. Overall, it was a good night stay in the Holiday Inn, Aberdeen. The hotel is in the city centre, walkable to the shops and lots of restaurants to choose from. The staff were presents, good service. Tanya
