Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen Airport

"Recently returned from a week long holiday at this hotel. I can honestly say that this is the best hotel we've stayed at when we've visited Aberdeen. It's very handy for the 727 bus from the airport into the city centre, and is far enough away from the centre to be untroubled by the noise from pubs and clubs which has ruined our previous holidays in this city. The hotel is very close to the airport, but the soundproofing is excellent, and we weren't bothered by aircraft noise. We found all the staff to be friendly and helpful. They have a same-day laundry service, which is very handy for those people who may be staying for several days, as opposed to just one night. I am an aviation fanatic, and I decided to be a bit cheeky when I booked our stay, and asked for a room with a view of the airport. I was not disappointed! Our room overlooked the runway, and the parking area where the DHL plane is loaded and unloaded. We enjoyed watching the aircraft coming and going, and it was good for photography. The only downside to the room was that there were no drawers, so we had to keep some of our clothes in our cases, but that's only a minor issue in an otherwise brilliant stay. Also it is worth nothing that, if the hairdryer doesn't come on, you need to check the switch under the long mirror, that is the "plug" for the hairdryer. The switch sometimes gets knocked into the "off" position. That happened with us, and the girl on reception was very helpful in explaining about this plug switch! We enjoyed the breakfasts every day, the fruit compote mixed with natural yoghurt was really nice. The conveyer toaster is not great, very often the bread would come out totally uncooked and would need to be put through a few times to get it properly golden, even when the controls were turned up quite high. We had one cooked meal in the hotel - broccoli and Stilton soup on the evening we arrived, It was served with a warm petit pain, and very pleasant. This is now our go-to hotel in Aberdeen, and I definitely intend to return for another week in the future."

"Booked in for Sunday as we had a flight on Monday morning.Staff were so friendly especially at reception on our check in.Our room was spotless and very comfortable.Breakfast in the morning was excellent.Great customer service."

"Nice clean tidy hotel, parking adjacent, I get it you want to stop long stay airport parking but you shouldn’t be rinsing your guests for £10 to park ! Hotel was nice & clean, efficient check in, nice room but shame window couldn’t open even ajar as aircon was noisy throughout the night. Breakfast that was a bit of a shambles, every table bar 1 or 2 was cluttered with dirty plates & cutlery, no glasses for fruit juice, then there was no orange juice - you need to vastly improve here, this would put so many folk off, I’m a seasoned traveler and can understand but still not nice to see. Check out - well that’s where you lost another point, 8 folk queuing to check out & 1 receptionist, this is your money take opportunity and should either be better staffed or automated check out, as I was queuing 2 more folk joined the queue. Let’s see if it’s better next week"
