Residence Inn by Marriott Aberdeen

On arrival we were greeted by reception staff, they were warm, friendly and inviting and made check-in a breeze! The trip was for my fiances birthday and I had asked beforehand if they were able to make the occasion even better so as we got our keys, the reception staff wished my fiance a happy birthday and presented her with a hand written card from the manager Mark (who I'd been speaking with beforehand) and gave us a couple of drinks vouchers! We got to the room and it was very well presented, everything was clean and spotless, and had nice little touches. The kitchen was very clean and easy to use, the cutlery, pot, pan etc were also clean but we didn't use them, the bed was comfy and pillows were very good! We went down to the mini mart to grab some cans of juice and snacks and because it was my finances birthday, they gifted them to us! All in all, 10/10 for everything, such an enjoyable stay! Will definitely be coming back here again when we take trips up to Aberdeen, Thank you for everything!

The Residence Inn was like an oasis of calm in middle of Aberdeen’s busy city centre with surrounding beautiful flower beds and grassy areas. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable with a kitchenette that had everything including a dishwasher. The bed was made everyday and toiletries replaced as necessary. The hotel is pet friendly and the staff were absolutely brilliant with our dog. My daughter had been unwell during our stay and on the day of our departure Marina extended our check out time. This was really appreciated as my daughter was able to rest longer before our departure. The hotel also served breakfast which included continental and hot breakfast. An added bonus was it could be taken up to the bedroom. The location of the hotel is very central. Nearby are two popular coffee shops, an ice cream parlour, restaurant and around the corner a local supermarket. Parking is convenient at the Loch Street car park. The best place to park is level 1 over to the left through a corridor and then exit onto Gallowgate beside Marishal College. This takes you to the square where the Residence Inn is. I’ve stayed at a few hotels in Aberdeen which were good but the Residence Inn is by far the best hotel I’ve stayed in. I look forward to staying again knowing I’ll receive a warm welcome and an having an enjoyable stay.

Location was excellent, staff were very friendly, room was very clean, hotel was in quiet area - you forget your in the heart of the city centre (apart from the drunken male shouting in the early hours coming down the lane 🙄 - always one 🙄), breakfast had a good variety, baggage can be left before/after visit so you can enjoy the area without trailing this with you.

The location is excellent, being right in the city centre and a short walk to shops, restaurants etc. The room was very comfortable - very comfy bed and pillows. Everything was spotlessly clean and new looking. We didn’t make use of the kitchenette on this visit but it would be very handy on a longer stay. The breakfast buffet hot food options were limited but everything they had was good and seemed freshly cooked, and the selection of cereals etc was good.

Great hotel stay! We stayed for 1 night. The price was really good for the location. Super close to lots of restaurants and attractions to go and check out like the Art Gallery and Provost Skene’s House right next door! Breakfast was included, and all the food was great. Warm baked treats, hot foods like scrambled eggs/bacon/sausage, and also gluten free and vegan options which we didn’t try. Lots to choose from that I’m sure there’s something for everyone. If you’re the type that likes to go to the gym while on vacation, this place has an incredible gym. Dumbbells, 2 treadmills, a bike, an elliptical, and also a machine ready with cables to hit all your muscle groups. The only downside to this, is the location of the gym, which you have to go past the dining area to get to. Not much of a bother though. The lady who checked us in made the check in process feel a bit cold. Made it feel more professional like a transaction rather than a hospitable experience. She asked if either of us had a membership, and I thought I might have, so we checked, and then she said she couldn’t find my reservation, to which I said the reservation was under my spouse's name. She let out an exasperated, almost annoyed sigh. I must’ve misunderstood. We weren’t members, but we gladly signed up to it. Omar worked behind the desk overnight. He was FANTASTIC!!! He welcomed us after a day of exploring with a warm smile, and made sure we had everything we needed to make our night as comfortable as possible. He also gave us some great tips as to what to see in Aberdeen. He was extremely hospitable, gentlemanly, and very helpful. Overall, great, and if you’re in Aberdeen needing a great comfortable night stay, stay here.
