- Catherine (9/5): Great facilities and perfect for a short getaway in Scotland - The room facilities were good.

We stayed on second floor -room 712 which was fab
- Pearl (8/5): - Stayed here a few times lovely apartments and good location
- Lynn (7/5): - Spacious rooms Room was very cold when we arrived , reception gave us a portable heater to use to boost heat ,
Room was above busy noisy bar which was a bit of a let down
- Fiona (9/5): -
- Leesa (8/5): -
- Caroline (7/5): - Lovely accommodation. Unfortunately our room was right next to a lane that was outside a pub / nightclub.
Rather noisy at leaving time.
- Charles (6/5): Was ok for a night. Wouldn't stay longer - The location was good.
The apartment was clean. It was too noisy until 6am.
Some of the lights did not work.
The blind didn't keep any of the street lights out so apartment never got dark.
- Natasha (7/5): Good large clean apartment with washing machine ONLY. No Dryer - Centrally located. Washing machine. Large living. How difficult it was to find. We were there in a snow storm and maps sent us on a wild goose chase that led us down a back alley. Not the residences problem. However they may need to update their location to make it easier to navigate to. I ended up having to walk the street front to work out where the entrance was. Better communication also would help.
There was a washing machine but no dryer. As we were there for only one night it made it difficult to do laundry, had to travel with damp clothing.
- GPBing (9/5): -
- Isla (7/5): Comfortable but due to location wouldn’t visit again . - Facilities clean,tidy & comfortable,spacious too. Showers did not work well and noise outside casino at 2,3,4 am was very noisy .
- Steve (8/5): Very enjoyable. - The location was very close to many bars and restaurants. Was a little noisey in the morning as it's next to a busy town road.
- mark (7/5): - Convenient A bit basic
- Ross (10/5): -
- Yessica (3/5): Viejo sucio y la recepcionista una desastre - Todo estaba muy viejo y sucio , cuando le pedà a la chica ayuda para llamar a un taxi me respondió que lo hiciera yo misma. El apartamento tenÃa goteras , moho en la cocina y el baño estaba bastante sucio .
Al menos la cama era cómoda, pero el precio me parece desorbitado para el servicio recibido
- Marion (9/5): -
- Rae (10/5): Excellent place to stay. - All. Nothing.
- Matthew (9/5): Overall a very pleasant stay in well equipped and spacious apartments. Central location is ideal. - The location on Union Street Aberdeen was ideal for our visits to The Tall Ships Race 2025.
Easy access from the main street and the apartment was spacious and well equipped! Windows looking onto Union Street needed a good clean!
Toilet flush was extremely weak!
Shower gel was watered down.
But these are minor points, but need rectifying.

- Linda (9/5): Great location for a cozy stay - Central location was great. Easy to get to everything
Nice and warm and very cozy bed Getting in you had to call a number and wait to be let it
The reception was rarely manned but they were at the end of a mobile phone
There is a loud bell clock tower across the road!
- Martyn Styles (10/5): Comfortable apartment for those that like privacy and comfort. - Online check in, requests fulfilled, just needed to sign and head to my apartment. All good, 4th stay.
- Gry (8/5): Bra leilighetshotell i Aberdeen sentrum - Beliggenheten er topp. Leiligheten er ok. Har brukt Leilighetshotellet mange ganger og vil bestille det på neste tur til Aberdeen.
- macleod (10/5): - Excellent location Nothing
- Phil (10/5): -
- Steven (7/5): Comfy but noisey - Great appartment. Well laid out and well equipped. The clock on the opposite side of the road. Forget it if you want an early night or a late lie in bed. The clock chimes every 15 minutes between 7am and 11pm.
- Kenneth (8/5): Big, comfortable and well equipped apartment. - Huge multi bedroom apartment with kitchenette and two bathrooms.
Pet friendly.
Staff were really helpful with my elderly relatives needing more than average help. Front entrance is not easy, it’s not obvious and has narrow opening with decent step up.
Its location is not as good as it once was as Aberdeen centre is suffering badly from closures.
- Kenneth (4/5): Royal athenium suits Aberdeen review - Location The apartment was rundown stains on carpet in bedroom bed was creaky and uncomfortable the furniture in living room very poor and in need of replacing the cooker light did not work kitchen doors the wrapping materials were coming off the windows were absolutely filthy could not see out hardly. We left at 7.30 am on departure couldn't wait to leave should have stayed 2 nights instead of 3.
- lynsay (10/5): -
- Gordon (7/5): -
- Ian (8/5): -
- Jade Fraser (10/5): Lovely - Great location. Lovely apartment
- Bedour (10/5): Great stay. - Everything was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming, they were always helpful and happy to help when needed. I would stay there again for sure. The location was perfect close from everything. There is nothing that I didn’t like , but just one point of improvement would be if the cleaning was a bit more thorough to avoid accumulation of dust anywhere. But overall the facility was perfect I would always come back again.
- Morgan (10/5): Amazing -
- Craig (7/5): Great location - Location Apartment was clean but tired looking
- Leighann (5/5): We didn’t pay loads so it was fair enough, had I paid the full amount I would have been very unhappy - Great location Definitely not 4 star
The kitchen cupboards were falling apart
Don’t tell you dogs are allowed, barked the night away.
- Keith (10/5): - Bed was really comfortable and the facilities where great aswell. Really clean with a great shower.
- Karen (10/5): - Beautiful apartment in excellent location. Nothing
- Stuart (6/5): - Great location Shower head and tiles were mouldy in the shower
- Umar (8/5): -
- Denise (9/5): Great apartment - The location and space. Apartment was well equipped and bright. Cleanliness fantastic. 2nd time staying in these apartments. Will stay again Could do with a little TLC. Wooden floors coming apart in places. Maybe use wooden beading yo keep flooring in space? Fridge and microwave not secured at all. Moved when opening and closing doors.
- Kara (7/5): Fantastic Location - Location is fantastic, rooms are great and staff warm and welcoming. The room I had seemed to be noisy on the Saturday night.

- Nicola (10/5): -
- George (10/5): - Location and cleanliness of the studio was very nice and warm and in a good shopping area. Parking is a problem for me as I can't be able to do the scan .on the Parking app.
- James (7/5): Clean, comfortable and welcoming - It is central great for the shops, staff were lovely and helpful I did not like that. They wasn’t a mirror next to a plug so I could do my hair and the light was quite dim but apart from the line was great.
- Ufuk (7/5): -
- Martyn (9/5): - Great location and spacious apartment
- Andy (7/5): Great location in the centre of town - Location is excellent and very nicely done apartments with great facilities Shower heads looked like they hadn't had a good scrub for a while. Mould on the top which wasn't pleasant
- Colette (10/5): -
- Ian (8/5): - Very good value on Booking.Com. Staff very nice. These are apartments created in a building which had had various uses over the years so the shapes of the units can be a bit odd. Maybe a little dated in places but very clean and quite stylish as well in some aspects. The desk is not manned all the time so you may have to make a call on mobile to get in when you first arrive. Once you have your key all good.
- Nicola (10/5): Really nothing to complain about, apartment had everything we needed. - Fine and central, clean, Nothing
- Enrico (7/5): -

- Nathan (9/5): -
- Sasha (8/5): Better than expected for that price! :-) - Big room, kitchen, high floor, comfy bed. Nice bathroom. Very friendly staff. The beds weren't made on the third day (day before we checked out). Floor smelled a bit mouldy, but luckily room was fine, just a bit cold.
