Stayed here several times over the last year and always had good service and very nice spacious refurbished modern clean rooms. That was not the case on my visit recently. Given a room at the back, with old, outdated furniture, an uncomfortable bed, bathroom old, outdated, bath panel peeling away from the side of the bath. Turned on the basin tap - no water, then bursts of piping hot water soaked me and the floor, and the water continued to run brown. I went down to reception to lodge my concerns and complaints and asked to move to another room. The duty manager assisted and did his best, but the whole process was continually interrupted by the resident maintenance man hanging around the reception, talking to other guests checking in, then started talking to me - emerging that he was drunk, loudly speaking slurring his words. The drunk maintenance man shouted at me and said there was a plumbing problem in the hotel, and had been all year and all the guests were meant to be advised of it at check-in. He also told me I shouldn't drink the water from the taps in the rooms. I was then given two bottles of water. I was moved to a newly refurbished room, but also spoke to the duty manager and advised him to deal with a drunk member of staff and his behaviour towards guests at reception. This is a Mercure/Accor chain hotel, and both the standard of room and the behaviour of staff should not be like this for paying guests.

This is a tired hotel and the room was okay but nothing special. The shower was fixed without a gooseneck and dated, and the toiletries had no element of luxury. The carpet was worn and it had seen better days. Noise and loud chatter was heard from the nearby room, not satisfactory. The bed was comfortable and extra pillows were brought up fairly quickly when requested. The breakfast was poor and substandard. The refilling of the buffet was slow and all they had for coffee was instant Nescafé, which is very much under-delivering on the Mercure brand. I recently stayed at a budget hotel and it had soya milk, catered more for dietary requirements and the bathroom was more clean and modern. The Mercure breakfast was on a par with that sort of hotel. I would not be rushing back to stay there again given the choice and range of accommodation options in Aberdeen.

So Appreciative
The premises and the neighborhood are charming, but the night staff was outstanding. My friend left her cell phone in our Edinburgh hotel. When she explained the situation to the man on Mercure Aberdeen's night desk, without asking, he was kind enough to contact the hotel in Edinburgh, ask them to look for it, and then put it aside for my friend to pick up upon our return. We were so appreciative!

Threadbare and dirty carpets, chair in the room was filthy, peeling wallpaper on walls and ceiling, one window would only open 4 inches, the other wouldn’t stay open at all which isn’t great in a room with no air conditioning, shower head fell apart. A very old and tired hotel that needs time and money spent on it. Much better available nearby for the same or similar cost. I’d give 5 stars to the person who took the photos for the website, they’re clearly very talented at showing something below par in its best light.
