Carmelite Hotel, Signature Collection

We had a nice stay at this hotel. It is located in town center close to everything. Also close to the train station. Good English breakfast.

Staying for a night for business. I hope this is the worst room in the hotel as it is $hite. Small, odd shaped room and bird $hits all over the window sill I won’t stay here again Poor show Caremilte hotel

Booked a room for one night. Room had the amenities we needed, however, there was a stain on the top of the duvet that looked questionable (pictured). I was also charged twice for this room. The first member of staff I spoke to regarding this was unhelpful and rude, which was disappointing, especially considering the state of the bed. I spoke to a different member of staff the next day over the phone who was very helpful, however, and sorted out the double charge for me. Overall, I would not recommend due to having a dirty duvet and unhelpful staff when we were at the location - it soured our visit.

The place felt strange on arrival. There was a lot of randoms hanging around in the main reception area. I later realised that these were refugees/immigrants awaiting social housing and staying in temporary hotel accommodation on site. I felt uncomfortable as a solo female traveller being what appeared to be the only paying guest on the premises. That said, the staff were friendly and accommodate my request to move rooms to a room with a bath. Rooms dated but comfortable. Stayed on a room only basis.

The stay is wonderful. This small 4 star hotel offers better hotel service than many 4 star hotels and 5 star hotels, I believe. (Before migrating to Scotland from Asia, my friends thought I often go to luxury hotels in Europe for cultural tours. ) By comparing this small 4 star hotel with the “luxury” hotels I stayed in, I strongly recommend visitors to stay in this 4 star hotel if they choose to visit Aberdeen since they offer excellent hospitality. Apart from appreciating the architecture and the decorations of the stairs (attached the decorations of the stairs I loved), the room cleaning is soooo good that I failed to find any dirt in the room during a 5 night stay. (I admitted that I split the room booking into several bookings)

Clean and comfortable but has the air of a grand dame slightly past her prime. The team were friendly and I get the impression that they are making improvements all the time. Solid 6/10. Parking is easy nearby- several multi stories. Cheapest is college road£6 /24 hours.

Where do I start with the Carmelite? Parking - although it does say that there is parking, there's not - you have to park in one of the carparks either in the shopping centre or the train station. On arrival I actually though the hotel was closed as it was in darkness and the door was locked - when I eventually got in to the hotel I was met by 2 rather large security guards who didnt actually understand why i was there - a member of staff did appear and looked a but shocked when I said had a reservation - not surprised as the hotel seems to be a half way house for migrants/immigrants at the moment which is a shame as i can imagine it was a lovely place to stay in beforehand. Sleep was interrupted several times through the night by shouting coming from other rooms and kids in the corridors early in the morning. Not 100% sure if the security guards are to keep people out or to keep people in? On departure - no hotel staff around just the security guards so I just gave them the key and hot footed it out of there as quickly as possible, A real shame as like I said earlier, this hotel was probably fantastic but it just needs some care and attention and to get back to being a proper hotel - I really do think that there should be something mentioned to people before booking the situation regarding their live-in guests/inmates.

When we first arrived there was a mix up with our room (they had us down for a double room but we paid for exectutive king room), we then got the keys to room 103, as soon as we got in the room i wasnt happy. The room was not clean at all, so my husband went down to management and they apologised for the mess and moved us to a lovely clean room after that and gave us a bottle of prosecco on ice. The hotel had a wedding on so the staff were busy but the staff was friendly and the cocktails were amazing. After a stressful start, it was a lovely break away.

Perfect location for a one-night stopover due to early morning train from Aberdeen. The station is a couple of minutes' walk away (not allowing for very slow traffic lights!). The service at reception was friendly and welcoming.
