Very nice hotel. Cosy and inviting. Nice and helpful staff. Rooms are very clean and comfortable...The breakfast is delicious. Location is spot on, short walking distance to everything. Restaurants and shopping at your doorstep. I highly recommend this hotel if staying in Aberdeen.

Historic hotel, old but well maintained. Excellent hotel. Check in quick and easy- thank you Charlotte , clean spacious room, appears recently refurbished, very convenient central location, excellent breakfast . The large room is a welcome change from the closet size places I experienced in the Highlands. I would definately stay here again.

Historic hotel, old but well maintained. There are findings that point to the age of the building, but overall, it is still a cozy hotel, with good food and perfect location where everything is easy to access.

5 star great location easy access to and from station. Great staff friendly atmosphere clean and tidy room with no noise from other guests coming and going. Ivy (The Ivy Lodge) and secret bar (The Old Workshop) is brilliant well worth a visit.

Recent stay in 3rd floor room. The staff were fantastic the room was superb and spacious, looks to have been renovated recently. Highly recommend a stay if visiting Aberdeen. Same owners for a long time, genuinely good people and warm professional staff. Function room is outstanding of you are looking to host an event. Excellent pint of Guinness here and at Malones.

Always impressed by the Douglas Hotel. I was in an executive room last time, and a double this time. Both excellent, but the executive larger. Both rooms had quality wooden furniture, comfortable beds, good fluffy pillows, great contemporary bathrooms and a warm, cosy, home-from-home quality. A tasty breakfast completes the picture. All excellent value for money and feels like a real treat compared to the big hotel chains. Highly recommended, and I'll be back before long. Excellent location. Just 5 minutes walk from the train or bus stations, and another 5 to the centre of town, Marischal College, Provost Skene's House and the Townhouse. 15 mins to the Art Gallery, Union Terrace Gardens, His Majesty's Theatre and the Music Hall.

A short walk from the bus/train station, really close to pubs and restaurants, the staff are helpful and friendly, my apartment was clean and stylish, dispite overlooking a busy road the room was quiet and offered great views over the docks,I will be using the Douglas Hotel again for future stays in Aberdeen.
