This is a well managed city hotel with very good dining and exceptional staff who are both well trained and caring. Traditional feel, privately owned, refreshingly non chain and a good quality dining venue (much liked by a slightly older local demographic for a genteel get together). No one is dialling in their shift here. It’s a traditional Aberdeen building with extension providing good quality accommodation, off street parking and a convenient location for business, the hospital and leisure travellers.

Minor fault would be the intelligent lighting in the bedroom corridor which was slightly reluctant to illuminate as I left my room. I was almost down the corridor before the sensor worked. Perfect coming the other way so it’s just a minor issue.

Very friendly staff, rooms were nice and comfy enough and breakfast was very nice - though mainly the cooked options. The cooked options were delicious. The non-cooked options were a bit limited, but good enough for a basic breakfast. Location was good enough - We didnt mind a walk to the city center. But we were there for an event.

Landscaping activities were done in the morning, which is a strange time for a hotel I guess. But I think this was a one off. I prefer windows that open a bit more so I can air the room but also control the temperature a bit more (no thermosthat).

We have stayed at the Atholl om a number of occasions often to attend frequent hospital appointments. It is only a short distance from ARI which is very convenient. That said we like the Atholl for its 'old fashioned' genteelness, comfort and value for money. Staff are attentive aand helpful. Breakfast is excellent and prepared freshly on demand for cooked requirements. Dinner has a good range of offerings being quite eclectic but also providing staple Scottish dishes such as 'mince and tatties'. It is always a good sign to see it as a popular dinner destination for locals as well as residents! Rooms are comfortable and warm. Excellent parking available.

There is little we could complain about. I suppose the bedrooms might be bigger but there again that might seem like nit-picking and is not an issue given the very reasonable accommodation rate.

The Atholl is like an old friend to us. We spent our wedding night there 35 years ago and it is still our 'go to' place to stay when visiting family in Aberdeen. It is lovely to see the same staff on each visit, which I think is always the sign of good management. It is just a friendly place to stay and everyone is so helpful. The food is also great, it has a good menu choice, plus smaller portions of most dishes if you don't feel up to their usual generous plates.

Minor quibbles. Some of the bathroom fittings are now seeing signs of wear. Shower pressure is fabulous but our shower head in Room 47 was a bit loose leading to wayward spray on floor, and the bath handhold and toilet roll holder was also loose.

The staff were exceptional. Fraser at the front desk was extremely helpful for the entire duration of my stay! The location was superb, the building was grand, the room was so clean and neat, the facilities were certainly up to the mark, the breakfast was lovely, and the restaurant menu was delightful! I had the complimentary breakfast every day of my stay and the staff were just so friendly and accommodating! The free parking came in handy and the proximity to everything was so handy! Five stars all the way!!

The staff in the hotel were exceptionally helpful and friendly. It is a lovely building, and we had a good sized room with a nice bathroom. Oh so nice to have a large, heated towel rail, especially when we got soaked to the skin one day and could dry off clothes! It is a very popular eating place with local people which is testamount to the standard of the food. The breakfasts were a little disappointing, we thought the choice of mains was a bit limited for a four star hotel, but did appreciate having table service not buffet.

Aberdeen roads and traffic are terrible as is parking. We finished up using taxis but the more agile can use buses.

The Atholl was clean, comfortable and the location was perfect, with a bus stop very nearby if you wanted to leave the car and take the bus into town. Check in and out was very friendly and efficient, the staff go a long way to making this a great hotel. Nothing is too much trouble and the food is excellent with very large portions. The good thing is you can order smaller portions! We would definitely stay here again.

Nothing

The Hotel Dining area was very busy in the evening- obviously popular with the locals, but we had booked elsewhere. Staff were very polite, friendly and helpful and the Breakfast was a treat. I asked for Gluten free toast and it was no problem.

The bed was very firm, which didn't suit me. My husband thought the TV was too small, but it worked fine. The electricity in the room is not controlled by a key card that you insert as you enter and take when you leave, so the heated towel rail can get very hot if you forget to switch it off.

Very welcoming, helpful and personable staff, they were knowledgable about the area and recommended places to visit. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless and very good toiletries provided. Breakfast very good and cooked to order and we enjoyed evening meals in the restaurant. Hotel is in a very pleasant area of Aberdeen with plenty of parking space at rear of hotel

As stated breakfast was very good but would have liked to been offered porridge and perhaps a wider selection of fruit.

Great location if you’re looking for central but not in the city centre. Lovely residential area roughly half an hour from city centre. Big car park, traditional style hotel and lovely staff. It was our first time travelling with our 11 week old daughter and the staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating - fridge and nappy bin brought to room, food brought up one morning when little one feeding meant I was going to miss breakfast. Cot was available but we brought our own. Really great stay with wonderful, friendly and helpful staff.
