Top Dunnottar Castle Hotel Reviews

Sandman Signature Aberdeen Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was okay. There was no bedding for the pull out couch so we had to call down to get it at 11 pm. The bed on the pull out couch/hide a bed was very uncomfortable and my 17 year old son tossed and turned all night long and got no sleep. Additionally, the coffee table in front of the couch was too heavy for me to move myself withbout the help of my son. The parking was a bit of a nightmare as there were limited spaces for a hotel with that many rooms. Someone came in the lot after I had just squeezed into the last available parking space and they had to go get the info for the overflow parking lot."
