Hotel is absolutely fine for the price, breakfast was average at best and the room although spacious noise from music bars and the most uncomfortable bed I have slept in for a long time. If I had Not pre booked thE breakfast I would have felt short changed for the selection on show. Charging £1 per bottle for water for the room is something that Mercure could absorb within the room price. Receptionist was chatty and helpful, room was spacious and clean so overall it’s the comfort of the bed which brings the overall score down for me.

Very central. Obviously has been a nice hotel in it's hey day but is a bit outdated now. Not dirty but lack of attention to detail - dirty glasses sitting in windowsill for a day, lace curtains and bed valance not really very clean to look at. Not

Thank you for your great review.

Nice hotel in very central location

Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Lower or remove car park charges for guests.
Location: Very central with good restaurants nearby.I was very impressed by Chaophraya (Thai ) and Monsoona (Indian )
The hotel is nice and the staff are friendly.My main gripe is they charged me £40 for keeping my car in their car park over 4 days.This is signed in the car park but you have little choice but to use their car park due to the hotels location.

Dear Liam, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay at Mercure Aberdeen Caledonian Hotel. I was delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay with us especially the friendliness of the staff. In relation to the car park charges this is displayed on all of our websites however I do apoligise that you found the cost steep. Once again thank you for your comments and I hope to welcome you back to the hotel in the near future. Yours Sincerely Tina Canale-Dow Hotel Manager

Flying visit to Aberdeen

Found the hotel to be located just perfect for our stay within easy walking to all amenities, the hotel itself has a private car park at the rear which is locked overnight which is great for peace of mind but Aberdeen is renowned for its seagulls and I noticed one occupants car looked almost like an igloo curtsey of the guls. The hotel itself is clean and well run although we found the room a little to warm there's no aircon but it is an old hotel but don't be put off by this it's an all-round great hotel, breakfast was ample with a great selection of hot and cold foods but the tea wasn't up to much but I expect if you asked for a pot it would be better, overall I'd say it scores a 4.5 out of 5 and if definitely stay there again
