I booked this hotel as a treat for my sister for her birthday and read the reviews after booking. However, I can't fault it. We arrived and were dealt with very quickly by a friendly and efficent girl. Housekeeping were excellent and very friendly. We were given first class treatment in the dining hall on our first evening and would have gone back had we not had other plans on the second. There are some building work going on but it certainly did not get in the way of a very pleasant stay. Perhaps some former guests should rememer that if you treat others with respect you get respect back. Some of the staff were young but we all have to learn sometime - and they were all pleasant and eager to please. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Rembering that the Calley used to be one of Aberdeen's top 4 hotels, with it's "ahead of time american bar"I booked in for a few days.BIG mistake. Well, where else to minimise walking(blue badge) and on a budget? Check-in--eventually ok when adult took over. Breakfast on first morning---Bacon taken from leather sole. Pre-theatre dinner---staff don't know what days this offer is available. Room heating--non existant. request electric heater--suddenly "we're very busy", but no one to be seen. Receptionist missed important lesson at charm school. Checking out--hope your not catching a train. (get up at 6am) Standard room--grubby &net curtains grey. Comfy bed-- nice and high. Requested a smokers room, but no usual smokey smell. Eastern European room cleaner very efficient as their reputation frequently reveals. This hotel is run by a crowd of youngsters who just have'nt a clue, many of them recently just started, and no one appears to be in overall control. High staff turnover!!!

This hotel is horrendous. There is very little else that I can add to that. Unfortunately Aberdeen is unique in that hotels occupancy is unbelievably high therefore standards can be dropped and the hotels still manage to let rooms, this hotel is a prime example. In most cities this would be empty a large part of the time. In future I would rather stay in Dundee and travel than stay in this hotel Stay at your peril............

I have just returned from a bank holiday weekend break in Aberdeen and it was brilliant. The hotel is undergoing a refurbishment and we were lucky enough to get one of the newly decorated rooms on the 4th floor. They are decorated to a very high standard, very welcoming and very comfortable and i was impressed by the plasma tv in the room!! Breakfast was very nice and the service was fantastic, we ate in the hotel 2 of the nights in the restaurant and the quality of food was very high. The service we received was to a high standard and all staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a great time was had we will definalty be back and will recommend it to others.

We stayed in this hotel when we were in Aberdeen to see a concert and wanted to make a weekend out of it. Ok the location is pretty good, right slap bang in the middle of Aberdeen and you get free use of the car park. We were given a room on the first floor which was disgusting. It didnt have a proper window. Just a frosted plastic one that looked onto a plastic window over the kitchen. The carpet was stained the wallpaper was peeling off. the bed was lumpy and the furniture didnt match and was badly placed in an already odd shaped room. We thought we would just put up with it as the hotel seemed packed and went out to our concert. When we came back we soon realised we were right above the function room which was the scene of a party night so until 1 in the mornign felt like we were trying to sleep in the middle of the dancefloor. Then the rain started outside and bounced of the plastic kitchen roof outside our window which was like bullets being fired! Next morning went to the desk to complain and the girl told us that was one of the room people often asked for! I dont think so! So we got moved and i must admit it was a much better room. But we were so tired from no sleep the night before it ruined the day for us and spent half of it recovering in bed. So i would definitly not go back there!!!
