What guests think

At Britannia Hotel Aberdeen, travellers report budget-friendly stays with friendly staff and decent-value meals, but also mixed standards, as rooms and public areas often feel dated and maintenance varies, leading to inconsistent comfort, cleanliness, and occasional noise or temperature issues.

The location suits events at P&J Live/AECC and access to the airport and hospital, with free or ample parking mentioned by some but difficulty at busy times by others. Rooms range from spacious and quiet to tired and poorly maintained, with several mentions of hard mattresses, very warm temperatures, and thin walls or mechanical noise. Breakfast and evening meals are frequently praised for value and portion sizes, though service can be disorganised and restaurant hours or queues occasionally frustrate. Overall, expect a low-cost, no-frills stay where experience depends on the room you receive.

I booked a cheap room that said it had no window so I wasn't expecting much. The building looked shabby. However there was a large, albeit busy, carpark. A busy lobby, but an efficient and friendly girl behind the desk. A long walk down many corridors to find a surprisingly nice room. Clean, spacious well supplied with a good bathroom and a window! All basic facilities but good value for money.

Internet is unavaible in the rooms only if the customer pay a fee per day. To access internet, you must stay in public areas. Reception service was horrible.

The shower was excellent. And the bed was comfortable. However, there was no toilet brush, no teaspoons, no free WiFi. Lady at the desk was curt and unwelcoming. The bedside lamp was cracked and ready to fall to pieces, half the buttons on the TV remote didn’t work. Cover missing from the tv remote .No extract in the bathroom, so everything fogs up. I understand you got what you pay for, and maybe I expected better. Won’t be going back there anytime soon.

Reception, the staff and food are spot on, however when you leave the reception area it starts going to the dogs… Got in my room, I’d booked a standard double with a window (yes that’s an option) and got in my room to find it’s unbelievably dated, dark & quite frankly a bit smelly.. The “double bed” was infact 2 single mattresses put together, the bed sheet didn’t fit the so called double bed, the duvet cover had rips in it and the duvet didn’t even fit inside the duvet cover… it was like a double duvet inside a kingsize cover, so loads just flapping about. Noticed the net curtains on the windows were absolutely filthy with black dirty bits all over them. The mattresses are most definitely of the cheapest quality of the spring kind as you can feel the springs every time you move.

We were told that dinner was available until 8pm, quickly changed to 7.30pm. We came down at 6:45pm to be told that the kitchen had closed and the chef gone home. Staff were arguing over who's job it was to tell us. In the morning after showering my husband opened his towel to find it covered in what we hope were iron stains.

I have stayed in a lot of hotels, & lots in Aberdeen in my job , but this hotel has to be one off the worsted. Not clean very dated, No toiletries in the bathroom & the shower had no handle on it . The room had a few moths flying around & no headboard on the bed. I didn't take any pictures as i was up early .

Plenty coat hangers and ironing board/iron. Breakfast was lovely. Couldn’t fault it for the price. Lovely peaceful room

Had a fire in the hotel on the 4th floor after 9.40 pm. That floor was removed from use for obvious reasons. Fire was apparently caused by faulty equipment in the store room. Booked a standard double but as given a twin single. In that room there was the smallest TV I have ever seen. I think tablets now days might be bigger. The mattresses were new but could count every spring that was poking out. Breakfast was overcooked. I was later moved to a better room thanks to the staff. This hotel needs a big time makeover and change in how it is run.

The faulty extract fan most probably on the roof over the room 201 cases the noise in the room being unacceptable and impossible to sleep. The noise levels are above comfort and healthy limits. Additionally it is anoying that hotels knows about the problem and still they accomodate people in the room. On a positive - hotel agreed to refund the night. Sadly discomfort following the high levels of noise, and lack of proper rest cannot be compansated.

I found the pillows quite hard. Sore neck noted would bring own pillow in future. Room was very warm. Even with fan on. Staff could not be more friendlier. I will be back in the near future . Food was excellent. Portion sizes very good. Originally booked through trivago and breakfast was 24 pounds but booking on site breakfast was 10 pounds. Not the hotels fault. It was quiet and other guests were very friendly.

The bed and pillow were uncomfortable. To add injury to insult, it’s on a flight path so it’s very noisy. Also we stayed for 3days and no-one changed our towels, toiletries or emptied our bin. So service was non existent. Other than that, it was too bad, just a bit dated

You gets what you pay for. This is a budget hotel, which i chose for being dog-friendly and close to P&J arena. The staff were friendly and upgraded to a bigger room for the dog; this had one negative as it looked out onto a roof covered with rubbish, which i told the front-desk should be easily cleaned. No other issues.
