A very large hotel with pool and gym facilities on the southern edge of Aberdeen. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable and pool was small but clean. I did not use the bar or restaurant. The area around the hotel is uninteresting so a car is advisable. Staff helpful.

Quick Weekend Reset

Altens Hotel in Aberdeen is now our new Family Fav. Their breakfast buffet (additional cost) is one of the better ones. Staff are fairly young but still kind. They have a separate very small kids pool which was a plus for the little one. Pool room can feel very congested and loud when busy as to be expected. Some things in the room can be updated where you can obviously see wear and tear. If Altens would love to give me an awesome discount my family would be their weekly!

It was very busy but we got pretty good service and breakfast was really good. Rooms were very comfortable. Parking however was a nightmare. The car park was full of giant potholes and they make you pay to use it! The spaces were also not outlined so it was difficult trying to park properly.

Staff excellent. Food could be slightly better. Beds are rock hard and pillows lumpy. Would have been 5 star all round except for those wee negatives. Beds don’t provide a good sleep at all. If these things sorted, it would be perfect.

Family mini break

Great sized family room with clean and comfortable beds. Staff were all helpful and friendly. Breakfast area was spotless and plenty space between tables. Wasn't a lot of space to get food and drinks in the actual buffet area as it was busy, but it was the summer holidays when we went. My son enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the sauna and steam room were good too. Not a huge pool for getting a proper swim but my son enjoyed it. Easy car journey into Aberdeen to visit all the local sights. Would stay here again as it was great value for money and a good hotel.
