What guests think

At ibis Aberdeen Centre – Quayside, travelers consistently praise the central, walkable location near transport and attractions, and frequently highlight friendly, helpful staff, while feedback on rooms points to compact layouts, variable noise and temperature control, and dated touches.

Rooms and bathrooms are usually clean, though a few guests noted maintenance issues like hot water or drain smells.

Parking is at a neighboring NCP with discounted rates, but spaces are tight and stressful to navigate. Expect a budget-friendly, central stay with solid service and some trade-offs.

Location was central and staff were friendly and helpful. For budget accomodation it was clean and offered everything needed, the bed was so cumfy! Breakfast offered was good and affordable with great variety. Only issue was parking, the parking station is next to Ibis which is very convenient at a reduced rate of £12 but there is no lift and corners are tight even for a small car. The parking issue was the only thing that took away from a perfect rating, BUT in fairness that is not the fault of the Ibis hotel.

The hotel doesn’t offer its own parking. They provided £2 off for parking at the nearest parkade. However, parking here is really riaky as the bays are narrow and even a small vehicle could scratch gping through it. I have seen others struggling and scartching their vehicles.It is rather very stressful.

The Ibis is in a good city centre location next to an NCP car park. The rooms are basic but comfy, very clean with a comfy bed. Breakfast was the only disappointment with barely warm food, an over stood egg and no forks or spoons in the cutlery tray. I have stayed here before and will do again next time I visit Aberdeen.

Hotel was close to Aberdeen city center, and a bus ride away from the old city and university. We only stayed for 1 night and the room and amenities were more than sufficient. We were allowed to store our luggage after checkout which was very convenient. Both check in and check out took a bit longer than usual because the front desk and the cafeteria were manned by one person, who had to both help the guests and prepare the drinks.

Really nice greeting at reception by one member of the reception. Served me my food, polite about serving me my drink even though checking others in. My first impression of the hotel and staff was therefore very positive. I was totally let down by the second receptionist who took over and was rude dismissive because he was checking in a customer. I was prepared to wait for him too be done but the attractive female new arrival seemed to deprive him of his manners.

During our recent stay, the ibis hotel where we had a reservation was actually overbooked, however the reception team were spectacular. They had already booked us a new room at another property, the Park Inn by Radisson, which wasn't too far away. They arranged for a taxi to take us over almost immediately and provided us with a complimentary breakfast the following morning. We are very grateful for the time, care and consideration the staff took to compensate us for the oversight on the booking system. Thank you!

The Ibis is well-situated if you need to catch a bus or train from the Union Square area, or if you’d like to go shopping at Union Square or Bon Accord; it’s also within walking distance to the University of Aberdeen. The Maritime Museum is literally across the street, as is bowling, pool, and a movie theatre if you have time! Staff were friendly upon check in and out, and were more than willing to help with printing off a last minute copy of a conference paper I needed. Breakfast was good as well; I would definitely stay here again.

We came in by train…..could see the hotel from the train station and with a late arrival and limited taxis we walked the well lit streets 5 minutes to the hotel. The location is super…..close to the core of the city. We were one block from the information Center….one block to numerous restaurants. Across the street from an amazing museum…..and free to boot. The neighborhood felt safe….but we are it night hawks. Used the restaurant for breakfast….not included in price. The buffet however not too fresh and for 15 pounds a person we used only once. Lots of other choices within a block. The hotel is cashless which was new for us. When using the bar for the occasional drink we had to pay after each order….no tab allowed. I guess this system works…..we just need to get over the concept.
