My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Jays Guest House! The hosts were very helpful and responsive. Spacious bathroom and fully equipped kitchen. I loved the vibe of it and felt very welcome! It was a bit far from the Aberdeen station (walking) but has a few bus stops nearby. Would definitely stay again if we make it back to Aberdeen!

A perfect stay for us spending a couple of nights in Aberdeen with our dog. Great location from city centre and beach. Hosts couldn’t do enough for you from arrival through stay to leaving. Comfortable, clean and self service kitchen works well. Lovely seating area also to chill. Thoroughly recommend at very reasonable cost.

Jays is a real gem. We had a lovely 2 night stay whilst visiting family. Great location, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable- perfect after a long journey or a busy day.Check in and very well equipped kitchen make for easy hassle free days. Everything laid out for a tasty, cold breakfast with plenty of choices and the option to self cater during the day. The lounge was very pleasant to sit in and relax.Would most definitely stay here again when we visit Aberdeen.Thank you 😀

I stayed at The Jays Guest House for 2 nights with my dog on route to Inverness..Booking was easy, price was friendly.Location ideal for near the town but not in it.. & 10mins walk from the beach!Instructions to get there & keys to your room were simple & really well delivered. The owners have done this all really well in my opinion & are both very welcoming & helpful.My room was tidy, clean, comfortable, had everything we needed..The kitchen was communal, spotless & had everything you need for self catering. The breakfast provided was fresh & lots of choice.Nothing seemed too much bother for this couple & the whole feel of the place is friendly & peaceful.In future I’ll not mess about looking for hotels to stay in Aberdeen & will phone direct to Jays guest house for the best stay I’ve had on my travels so far! Highly recommend!!!

If you're looking through the reviews and waiting for a sign to book a room— this is it. The Jays Guest House was a refreshing change from our stays at hostels and hotels. The owners are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to contact.The rooms are clean, nice, and include complimentary coffee, tea, and biscuits. They have a TV, and a closet to hang your clothes.A complimentary cold breakfast is available, and the kitchen facilities are also available to use. If you'd like to feel like you're staying in a home away from home, the Jays Guest House is perfect!

Great standard of guest house. Rooms are comfortable and you immediately feel at home here. My room was well kitted out. The owners are helpful and easy to get on with. There's not too much around the area, but it's on a major bus route straight into town. Pittodrie is right around the corner if you like your football. Buffet breakfast is available 24/7, so you don't have to worry about timings. Recommended.

My wife and I were on holiday in Aberdeen,Scotland in Aug/Sept 2024 and were booked into Jay’s Guest House for the period of 22 days.Firstly may I say what a beutiful, clean and well located house this was.From the time we booked we were kept informed as to the facilities,the layout and the lovely breakfast provided every morning.The two owners Gaurav and his wife Anna are the loveliest people you would ever want to meet.They were most accomodating and nothing was too much trouble for them.We would highly recommend this accomodation for all its wonderful attributes not to mention the very reasonable cost.

Very comfortable and very clean. Guarav, the host, made us very welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Continental breakfast was excellent and more than sufficient. Our host assisted us with our luggage, carrying it in and out of the house. Would not hesitate to recommend it.
