Stayed at the Merkland several times when visiting family in the area. Used to live in Aberdeen so know the area and can honestly say that this is a comfortable home-from-home run by lovely people.  …

Good location where 5 mins walking to the Aberdeen football stadium nearby, 5 mins to Morrison supermarket, and 15-20 mins walking to Union street. Other facilities like bus stations and restaurants are nearby at King street.A cleaned room, a shared washroom, a fridge and a microwave oven is available in the room. Good for both weekly rent and monthly rent.Friendly host who gave me a lot of helpful advice about local life. Thanks to them!

Once again I have stayed at the Merkland and very enjoyable it was too. The guest house is located off of King Street, about a 10 minute walk from Union Street. There is a regular bus service nearby. …

I have enjoyed being a guest at the Merkland for several years. It's quiet and its owner, Marilyn is the best landlady ever. Great value and highly recommended!

Very helpful and considerate. During a storm on one Hogmanay a friend visiting from Germany has the windows in her rental flat smashed. Despite being officially closed for the holidays they provided both a room and a meal. Well done 10/10
