Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Travelodge Aberdeen Central is lauded for its prime location near Union Street, making it a convenient choice for city explorers, although some guests cite noise disruptions. The hotel's atmosphere is typically described as clean and comfortable, yet the noise from nightlife and nearby construction can be a drawback. While the service receives a mix of reviews, highlighting both friendliness and instances of unprofessionalism, the amenities are considered adequate. However, the rooms often receive criticism for their lack of maintenance and outdated nature, leading to a divide in opinions on the hotel's overall value.

Ok, the hotel is a little tired and probably in need of a attention though over all, we had a good two night stay. The receptionist, Dominique? Was lovely, really friendly. The room was clean and for us, no distance from the entrance and reception area. The room was also really large, much bigger than your average Premier Inn/Travelodge room. The small electric heater was adequate though not quite enough for such space, though it did work effectively. The shower was in need of some maintenance (to stop the bath and shower running at the same time) however it was a lovely warm shower that was exactly what I needed. The flooring in the bathroom had a degree of ground in dirt from years of use, the bathroom really needed an upgrade. We had no noise complaints (we were at the rear of the hotel though don't expect lush views of Aberdeen from the second floor!) and the location of this hotel really is ideal for the centre of Aberdeen, furthermore it is on quite a good bus route which allows for travellers to access other areas. Lets not forget too, it is almost directly behind the train station. I would certainly stay here again though just be prepared for the fact that there is no airs and graces and that this hotel has in the past not always had the best of rep, its also about time that Travelodge invested some money in to the place. However, it does exactly what it says on the tin, gives you a good night sleep at a relatively good price. That's all you need.

A very short walk from the bus and rail station, right on the part of Union Street, which has been pedestrianised. With Covid19 restrictions the restuarant is closed and so no hot breakfast, but hopefully this is only temporary. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Two disposable beakers / glasses would have been useful in the toilet.

Whenever I need to stay over in Aberdeen, I choose Travelodge Aberdeen Central; I find it a real safe haven in the very centre of town. After a period of staying regularly in 2016-2017 I haven't needed to stay again until last night. I am delighted to stay I had another perfect experience. The staff are warm and welcoming, helpful and efficient and the rooms are spot on. The showers are incredible - brilliant water pressure meaning the bath also fills very quickly! Lovely, big, clean and comfortable bed and the room's facilities suit me perfectly.

Booked in for three nights. Room was in a poor condition with plenty of stains and signs of wear and tear. First night a fire alarm went off at around 01:30AM... guests (mostly) evacuated the building but the hotel manager was no where to be seen. Apparently some guests had seen him briefly at reception during the evacuation and he had mentioned something about a false alarm??? Guests were walking the corridors, going back to their rooms, and/or standing outside in the street waiting to hear news about the fire alarm. I had time to go back to my room on the fourth floor, grab a jumper and head back outside during the fire alarm saga. Eventually the manager came outside around 02:15AM to notify us that it was a false alarm.
I normally give people the benefit of the doubt and thought that maybe this manager is inexperienced or new.
BUT on my last day I left the “Please Refresh” sign on my door for the day (I needed fresh towels because the shower floods the floor so I used all my towels to wipe-up the water). When I returned that evening my room had not yet been attended to. I went downstairs to mention this to the manager (a different guy) - he was very short with me for some reason. He said that their cleaners were still busy and should be around shortly. I then asked to sit in their bar area to eat my takeout dinner while waiting for my room to be attended to, but he refused me entry saying that I could not bring my own food to the bar. I went back to my room to eat my dinner (expecting to be interrupted by cleaning staff). But I finished my meal without any cleaners coming to replace my shower towels. I went back down to reception and the rude manager this time said that there was an issue with a towel supplier so there was not much he could do. Frustrated, I went out for a walk - when I returned to my room I saw that someone had collected my wet towels and replaced them with a HAND TOWEL.
On the last morning of my stay I used a hand towel to dry myself after showering... I didn’t bother trying to mop up the flooded floor with that thing for them.
Clearly this is a hotel in disrepair and with disinterested ownership (or just poor management). If this is the case overall, I doubt this place will be in business much longer.

Great value for the price! The rooms are clean, up to standard, equipped with basic staff (shower gel/shampoo, soap, towels, toilet paper). The sheets and towels are really fresh. Nothing to complain about. The staff is also friendly and helpful: I needed a last-minute printout and a receptionist, Dominika, helped me out with a smile.
One of the many reasons I choose Travelodge each time I travel and definitely recommend it as well.

I chose this hotel because of its central location in Aberdeen for convenient onward travel and reasonable price.
I checked in early and was surprised to be asked for an extra £10 to do this……Silly me for not reading the small print!

Free wIFi? For 30 minutes only then you pay another extra fee.
Breakfast? Nearly £10 per adult another extra fee.

What appeared to be a great deal was reminiscent of the ploys of Ryanair to squeeze extra cash out of the customer who originally chose to book as it was cost effective but sadly the reality was far from it.

If I was writing a book about my stay here it would be on the shelf titled NON FICTION under the genre of HORROR.
The carpet which had seen better days the light blue now the confusing colour of greige as years of grime testified.
The entire bedroom is in need of a serious refurbishment as was the bathroom.

The bathroom left a lot to be desired.
There are NO walk in showers for those who have a difficulty accessing the bath with a firmly fixed overhead shower.
The shower was at too high a height for me and despite my best efforts I could not get it to budge as it was firmly stuck in place.
I therefore chose to remove the shower from the cradle and showered as best I could.
I must add don’t bother washing your hair as this hotel does not provide a hairdrier so either pack your own or forget it.

It was difficult getting a good nights sleep in the quiet room I was allocated as it was very close to the railway tracks of Aberdeen Rail Station.
If this was the level of noise in a quiet room I hate to think about the rest of this hotel.
The trains thundering past made sleep difficult so I would advise earplugs to fellow guests.

I managed to snatch some sleep to be rudely awakened by the sound of repair work going on at 23:00 hours at night.
The constant noise of the drill pushed me to get dressed and go to reception to complain.
No change of room given.
Next morning I complained to the manageress who did not care saying it was a city centre hotel and noise was expected.
Fellow travellers you have been warned.

I mainly booked this hotel for 4 nights because of its location and price. For £25 a night to be in the middle of the city centre, was ideal for me. There’s a shopping centre next door and it’s only a 5 minute walk to a bigger shopping centre and other attractions. On checking in, Michael was very friendly and chatted to me about the local restrictions and what there was to do in the area. He also booked my breakfast slot (due to Covid restrictions) which I set for 8am each day.

I would recommend booking breakfast early as it tends to get busy later on. I did find I occasionally had to wait to be seated as they seemed short staffed, and as you couldn’t serve yourself breakfast, I would recommend asking the staff for everything that you want at the start, as it’s hard to get their attention afterwards, and it did take a while to get sorted. There was a decent selection of cereals, croissants, toast, yogurts, fruit salad, juices and hot drinks. Cooked breakfasts were made to order by ticking a list, and vegetarian sausages were available. A condiment tray was brought to your table with your cutlery as well. My breakfast was complimentary so I’m not sure if it’s worth the full price.

My room itself was bigger than expected and was clean, with plenty of storage space. The bath is very shallow though so no good if you want a decent soak and I had to use a hand towel as a bath mat because these aren’t provided anymore. It could also do with charging points next to the bed. It did the job though and I suppose you get what you pay for. I didn’t hear much noise from outside but there were noisy kids staying in the same corridor as me and there was a lot of banging noises one night on my wall. Complementary tea and coffee facilities were provided and there was a decent choice of TV channels. The bed was comfortable and a fan was provided if you found the room too warm (I thought the room temperature was just right).

Overall, I’d probably stay again as the location and price was ideal.

The hotel is in a prime location for those travelling, it’s a few minutes walk to the train/bus station but also central to the trinity centre, union square and union street.

Staff were very pleasant and the room itself was very spacious.

The noise outside can be a little off putting especially boy racers between 9pm-2am! But the bed was comfy and the shower was terrific so all in all for what we paid it was definitely value for money.

Under the present circumstances, we felt that the staff had made our stay as safe as they could do. Plenty of hand sanitisers at entrances and all staff we met were very friendly and helpful. Just a shame that the cafe/bar was unable to open.

Since we have not been able to travel abroad we have been travelling around the UK and Travelodge was our hotel of choice due to cleanliness and overall value for money.
I'm afraid the Travelodge in Aberdeen was not to the standard of the other Travelodges we have stayed in. We were given room 402. The room was very musty and smelled badly of damp. The Hotel knew about this as they had left the window open to try and air it (to no avail I'm afraid). Also the carpet had been laid over a very uneven floor (settlement) which would certainly be a trip hazard for a disabled or elderly person. Since it was only for one night it wasn't worth asking to be moved. If you have to stay in this hotel please stay clear of this room or probably that whole section of the building.
