I loved this guesthouse. Stayed for one night while in Aberdeen on a work trip. The guesthouse is about a 15 minute walk from the rail station. Close to union square shopping centre and union street. The room I stayed in had its own bathroom which was great. Nice and cosy, got an ironing board upon request, and the breakfast in the morning is served as a full hot breakfast. The dining arrangements are on three big dining tables so I'm guessing when it's busy, you might have to dine with strangers, but I think that adds to the guesthouse experience.

Lovely hosts, friendly and helpful. It was a small room and ensuite but very well and thoughtfully equiped with nice touches such as robes and cosmetic tissues, cotton balls, plus kettle, tea amd coffee.Breakfast was beautifully presented. It was within walking distance of town for restaurants and bars but far enough away to not get the noise.We'd stay here again if visiting Aberdeen.
