Ardenlea House Hotel B&b

Absolutely shocking they can even charge for this place. Avoid at all costs. First impressions were not good with weeds in the driveway, a skip and discarded bbq trays beside the decking. Arriving at the front door it didn’t get any better. The door was locked but inside were dirty towels and an ironing board. I had to phone the mobile number on the window to get access and was met by who I think was the owner in flip flops and a towel. He showed me to the room and after one look I said I’m not staying here. He showed me another room which was no better so I told him I couldn’t say and couldn’t believe he charged!

Charged extra (cash) on arrival due to booking 2 double rooms but they took it as 1 adult per room instead of how you'd perceive a double as 2 people per room. Was told to either pay it or leave immediately. Apparently it's in their policy, so be careful when booking as they couldn't tell us what their policy even was when questioned just kept repeating about wanting more money.. Rude staff member, just marched off quickly to the room without waiting for us to follow or without saying a word. Doors look like they've been kicked in and don't lock, an easy double push opens the door when it's 'locked'. Continental breakfast is off tasting cheerios, a measly stale croissant (if you're quick enough to get one that is) or toast. Flies covering a window of the building. Shower is powerful but either scalding or freezing and isn't much room in the cubicle at all, ventilation is also very lacking as windows don't open in the room and it doesn't get rid of shower or hot tap steam, shocking.. Bed is uncomfortable. Apparent soundproofed rooms is false advertisement, you can literally hear the next door talking and people walking around the building. TV signal drops repeatedly so don't expect to watch anything. The worst nights stay ever.

Owners children created havoc in the accommodation and this was at night time. Running around after 10 at night. Room wasn’t cleaned. Shower faulty went from warm to scalding. Never experienced anything like it in my life. Mattress was lumpy, woke up with a sore rib. Pay more money and go somewhere else.

Booked this hotel directly with the owner Asad who gave me a little discount which was kind of him. Its 2 minute walk from Train station which was perfect especially seeing how it was raining too. the place is Spotlessly clean, very comfortable and I had a cracking kip too, very quiet and the porter was very kind & helpful he even put an early breakfast on for me as I was checking out very early for a check in at the airport! Thank you Asad , definitely going back next time I'm up in Aberdeen. Top man Top gaff 👍 Col .

One night only, but no complaints really. The run was clean and had everything I needed. Breakfast was good enough, but included only cold food. £11 taxi to Bristows heliport. Very near the train station. Don't make the mistake of following your sat Nav set to 'car', as I did. From the train station it is a 2 minute walk.

The room was clean the shower was hot. You could smell that the bed linen and towels had been freshly laundered. Plus parking is just outside. It has a business lock up next door to the hotel so you can see some building rubble as you come in. Don’t let that out you off. A good place to get a nights kip:-)

Absolutely the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in an absolute dump and the worst staff I’ve ever had to deal with, nothing is as advertised the rooms I were offered were fold down settee s , the entrance is like driving through a building site/ dump/ scrapyard the manager doesn’t speak English and just dismisses you then blocks your phone number I wouldn’t let my dog stay there

Stay away from this place. Money grabbers! Luring costumers with flexibility to change days offer, once you need it they ignore you and then reply that there is no space available but to go and book again plenty of rooms. Better pay some money extra and stay in proper hotel.

AVOID THIS PLACE Terrible place to stay arrived at weekend place stinks of spicy food, no window in room to open to get rid of smell. Advertised as having central heating don’t think it works as plug in heater in the room, shower head broke morning after I arrived no one around to notify when I left at 8.30 so a family member telephoned to report this at 9 am returned that evening still broken proprietor said he was to busy to look at it , left 2 days later shower head still broken good job I could have a shower when I was out during the day didn’t even attempt breakfast, for over £50 a night this place is a joke I am amazed they have a licence to operate a B&B / guest house.
