Great review (of a hotel I didn't even realise existed!) Looked decent to me and great you got the chance to catch up with your son too :) Thanks for this Roger!

Thanks Jett! I have done The Lankmark Hotel in London which is one of the most opulent of the BTHs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2e9mXikmMl3pLMsi=2sldSZuqTMq_8J0N. I recorded this before I decided to do the series, so I don’t go on about the fact it’s a BTH. Hoping to do a few other London ones soon. 😀

I was up and down to Aberdeen quite a bit in 2005 as I worked for Cairn Group back then, you would have been on GNER at that time though not LNER.

I've stayed in that hotel once, loved it, usually when I'm in Aberdeen I walk from Union Square to Berryden Retail Park going via the street Marischal College it's a fair walk but worth it as you come back via George Street where there's a Sainsbury's to pick Lucozade and then head through the back door of the Bon Accord

My god that’s cheaper than Premier Inn and includes the breakfast, has to be said I am surprised about the hotel.. will be interesting to see what you think of Inverness station hotel. Next time your in Aberdeen head to Old Aberdeen, a lovely area to wander around which includes Seaton Park, St Machar Cathedral and Brig o Balgownie

I am very sorry to say that I was disappointed with this hotel. First off, the shower/bathroom having a stair in it was danger ( not clearly shown ) not to say not a disable friendly hotel. Most high priced hotel rooms have a bath tub not just a shower. It was a very dark hotel ( could have been camera lighting ) and I am not talking about the room with 5 windows. I would have loved to have seen the other hotel to compare, but I am guessing it is a better hotel.
