Room very comfortable and had everything we needed. Excellent breakfast served in the morning. We had dinner one of the evenings as well and it was delicious. Highly recommend the marcliffe. Gym small but adequate. Cleanliness can be improved but also challenging in a big hotel.

Always a hit when we come here for a meal but we decided to stay on our last visit. Service was 5* from all the staff. From check in to check out. Dinning at night was amazing and breakfast could not be faulted. After our meal and several drinks we went to the "drawing room" live music was amazing and again staff very accommodating. A sauna and spa would make this hotel our go to but only services from spa available.

Generally a nice hotel but disappointing in a few areas. Breakfast and dinner were good. The grounds are pretty and well maintained. Be aware there is a large construction site next door to the hotel. While we were there the banging, drilling and trucks started at 07:00 and went on until after 17:30. It was a hot few days, but we couldn’t have the window open because of the noise. The room was a bit dated with a fairly random collection of furniture and styles ranging from the early 90s to the mid 2000’s. It would benefit from a refurb / redesign of the rooms. The bathroom had dangerously hot water and be careful not to touch the towel rail! The black mould on the tile grout in the bath was disappointing. Overall it was fine, but just a bit tired.

Staff very friendly and friendly with each other, menu very poor, food apart from lobster was very good. Dining was very expensive for what you got. Cleanliness in hotel was very good, bedroom not so, went to make a coffee only to find the kettle disgusting, the spout was even full of dried sediment. Stayed here 20 months ago and I'm afraid the hotel has gone down and the prices up. Don't think it should be classed as five star anymore. Which is a shame because it is a beautiful place.

Staff were very friendly. Room and bed very comfortable. Very quiet. Lovely grounds. Room very clean except for a stain on the carpet and odd orange splashes, perhaps condensation on the bathroom ceiling. Notvwhat onecexpects in a 5 ☆ hotel. Breakfasts were good with an excellent choice. However there were NO labels on food on the breakfast buffet- no GF items labelled. When I asked for GF meusli they said there was none. Overall a lovely stay but this is not a 5☆ hotel. Overpriced for what it is as the room furniture is scuffed although the bathroom was of high quality. Nice to have fresh fruit and bottles of water and milk left in the room each day.

Our stay at Marcliffe was wonderful and felt truly luxurious. The staff went to every length to make sure we were comfortable. While there were small mix-ups with our breakfasts, the inconvenience was quickly overshadowed by the service of having the meal delivered to our room and the delicious cooked meals. It was so special staying here, and we would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

Have stayed here below. The hotel is a little out of the centre but has large grounds with deer roaming free. The rooms like the whole place are old world classic but luxurious. Very comfortable and surprisingly quiet even though there was a corporate party elsewhere in the building we didn't hear a thing during the night. The other big highlight is the restaurant and the bar. Dinner isn't cheap but the food is delicious and the breakfast is great too. If you want a high end, old world hotel in Aberdeen this is a great choice

Great location, parking, clean with very friendly and warm staff. One point to highlight was the heat in the room. Was very hot had to open both windows and put on the fan.

Staff very friendly and friendly with each other, menu very poor, food apart from lobster was very good. Dining was very expensive for what you got. Cleanliness in hotel was very good, bedroom not so, went to make a coffee only to find the kettle disgusting, the spout was even full of dried sediment. Stayed here 20 months ago and I'm afraid the hotel has gone down and the prices up. Don't think it should be classed as five star anymore. Which is a shame because it is a beautiful place.

Have stayed here below. The hotel is a little out of the centre but has large grounds with deer roaming free. The rooms like the whole place are old world classic but luxurious. Very comfortable and surprisingly quiet even though there was a corporate party elsewhere in the building we didn't hear a thing during the night. The other big highlight is the restaurant and the bar. Dinner isn't cheap but the food is delicious and the breakfast is great too. If you want a high end, old world hotel in Aberdeen this is a great choice

Always a hit when we come here for a meal but we decided to stay on our last visit. Service was 5* from all the staff. From check in to check out. Dinning at night was amazing and breakfast could not be faulted. After our meal and several drinks we went to the "drawing room" live music was amazing and again staff very accommodating. A sauna and spa would make this hotel our go to but only services from spa available.

Generally a nice hotel but disappointing in a few areas. Breakfast and dinner were good. The grounds are pretty and well maintained. Be aware there is a large construction site next door to the hotel. While we were there the banging, drilling and trucks started at 07:00 and went on until after 17:30. It was a hot few days, but we couldn’t have the window open because of the noise. The room was a bit dated with a fairly random collection of furniture and styles ranging from the early 90s to the mid 2000’s. It would benefit from a refurb / redesign of the rooms. The bathroom had dangerously hot water and be careful not to touch the towel rail! The black mould on the tile grout in the bath was disappointing. Overall it was fine, but just a bit tired.

Great service and meals, staff excellent. Would be nice to have a menu change for dinner - none during our stay. Excellent value for the overall standard. We expect to return.

Breakfast - provide a hot flask of coffee on the buffet table so that guests coming into breakfast can pour a quick coffee into a mug to take to their table. I was gasping for a coffee as I came down for breakfast and tried to help myself to a quick coffee at the table at the bottom of the stairs in Reception but I was stopped from doing this by the doorman and propelled forwards to the dining room. I had to wait for ten minutes, still gasping for coffee, while we were seated at table, ordered from menu, ordered a cappuccino, helped myself to something from the buffet and had consumed it, all before a coffee arrived at our table! Plus, I don’t like the muesli presented in what reminds me of a toothbrush holder - the glass tumbler thing. I would prefer the muesli presented in a breakfast plate (like a small soup plate or dessert plate). The food and coffee is all delightful, a real treat, it’s a dreamy breakfast, so I’m not complaining, just giving you some feedback. When something lovely happens to me in my daily life I call it ‘A Marcliffe Moment’ - just a dreamy interlude of perfection.

Everything was great. Only the dining experience was not so pleasant. Both the dinner and breakfast staff were very unprofessional and unaware of the waiting time for food. It could be better. We have passed the feedback to the manager team. Hopefully, they can improve, as they are 5-star, not 4

Hotel was beautiful but the one thing that lets it down was the service at dinner. No-one was interested in the area I was sitting. No one told me the soup of the day or that there were 4 items unavailable until I was ordering. Couldn’t get anyone to bring the bill. Let down an otherwise lovely hotel.
