Our room on the first floor was above a very loud function. We were not told of the function. At 10 PM we called the front desk and they told us that they should have informed us of the function and moved us to the fourth floor. There was no working elevator and the fourth floor was 85° and there was no way to turn off the heat so we had to open the windows And then we could still hear the function from the first floor When we spoke to the staff about it, they could care less and we’re very rude

We were placed in a 1st floor above a room hosting an event. Very loud! They moved us to a 4th floor room at 10pm. They said we should have been warned. The elevator was broken at 10 PM. We had to move all of our belongings up for flights to our new room. That room was 80° and there was no way to turn down the heat. They shoukd gave refunded our room.

Excellent place to stay. Best value of the 6 places we visited in Scotland. Loved the photos in the lobby of the history of the hotel and Aberdeen. Did the bus tour around Aberdeen - very beautiful architecture everywhere. Also, live music in the hotel pub every night and we took full advantage of that.

Staff were great, as was the room (very spacious). Hotel is located in a convenient area with lots of restaurants and things to do within walking distance. My only issue was that there was some sort of benefit dinner/event being held in the event hall on the main floor, so it was very loud in our room late into the night.

We stayed for 4 nights. First night the room was cleaned next morning. The 2nd day bed linen was not changed . The 3rd day same thing no bed linen changed . Also the bathroom toilet was not cleaned and the plastic cups were taken and not replaced. Also the toilet paper was removed from the toilet hanger athough there was paper still on it and they did not replace it. Very poor housecleaning . Also resturant in the hotel messed up a dinner order and we finally recieved it 40 minutes later. It was only a ceaser salad with chicken on it. They did not charge me for the meal. Also no airconditioning, so the room was very hot. They did supply a small fan but it only helped a bit. Slept with two windows open all night but realy did not help . The only reason we booked this hotel was it was close to the train station that we arrived in . I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Because of the windows being open we heard a lot of noise frome the street. Tats what i meant by noisy. Hotel was quite inside.

Upon arrival the room was over 80 degrees. Super hot. We asked the front desk to assist and they told us they had no other fans or anything to give us. We were told by local people at the restaurant that the older hotels have issues where the upper floors get very hot. If you know this about you hotel, you should buy things to prepare for it. Install some additional fans or something. We went back down the desk twice to ask about it. They were very nice but could offer nothing to help. At one point a person even came up to the room and said "Wow it's very hot in here" but then proceeded to not be able to help. Overall not the most comfortable sleep at all for 2 days.

We did not have a good sleep as the pillows were hard and the mattress was very uncomfortable. I would suggest getting a mattress topper. We loved the double bath. Overall a good stay just ashame we didn’t get a good sleep.

Great location! Just a few things to know, you don’t control the temperature in your room the hotel does so if cremate is your preferred temp then this will work for you. No mini fridge but they supply a kettle, I bought milk for my coffee however because the room was so hot it was bad before use. Opened the window during the day to cool down the room but had to shut it at night due to the noise.

No smile, no hospitality whatsoever. Really? Where do they find these people? The staff I met in the morning was nice and polite. No complaints. The overall impression: nice rooms, breakfast is not included. Leaving is a much better experience than arriving.

We checked in at 11:30pm only to find out rooom already occupied. The room occupants (including a young child) were understandably startled and afraid. We then had to wait for staff to knock on another room door (at midnight) to find us a room. No apology was offered and the receptionist couldn’t even stop what she was doing (cutting sellotape with her teeth!) and look me in the eye and apologize. Room (119 - avoid it) had a big pink stain on the carpet and water stains on the bedside table (you can remove that with a warm iron - google it).

We never actually made it to the hotel due to Storm Babet. It was impossible to travel to Aberdeen due to red weather warnings on the travel up. Contacted hotel to see if possible to re-arrange the stay but they just didn’t engage or respond to messages. I understand that it was a non-refundable room but since it was not our choice not to attend, I was hoping for some assistance. The fact they didn’t respond to messages and when phoned we were just told to speak with where we booked it.

Have been staying at The Douglas Hotel for over 15 years. I enjoy the location (close to train station). Staff is always friendly, professional and accommodating. The breakfast offers a lot of variety and is in a nice room. Also, Malone’s offers an authentic pub atmosphere. Can’t go wrong staying here and highly recommend.

Very close to bus and train station so able to walk to property on arrival. Liked the hotel but our neighbour in next room kept banging the door shut. He also tried the door to our room at midnight on our first night. Not sure if drunk or just didn't realise it wasn't his room but woke us all up. Our door was double locked but we did get a fright. Perhaps the hotel could invest in slow closing hinges for the loud banging as the doors very heavy. The breakfast food wasn't very hot and the first morning we couldn't eat the omelette as it smelt funny. Wasn't sure if eggs were off. The staff were quick to remove when I notified them. The third morning all the breakfast was lovely so not sure if different cooks. The milk also needs put in the fridge or in something that keeps it cold as the milk for the tea on the third morning was off and we had to ask for different cup as it was floating with the bits of milk. Can I suggest using the fridge for the fruit and yogurts. If the bowls were placed elsewhere there would be room in the bottom for the jug of milk.
