Quick Picks

Nearest – Jurys Inn Aberdeen

Best – Lochnagar Guest House

Cheapest – Royal Crown Guest House

Aberdeen is a harbour city in north-east Scotland. It’s sometimes referred to as the Granite City because of its unique architecture, with buildings constructed out of the granite that was quarried around the city. It’s not as commonly visited by tourists as the more popular Edinburgh and Glasgow but it’s actually easy enough to get to: there’s a nightly sleeper from London and it has its own airport. There’s a ferry terminal that is the departure point for ferries to the Orkney and Shetland islands. Aberdeen’s climate is mild because of its coastal location and it has a cosmopolitan feel owing to its universities and to the oil industry workers originating from around the world. The Aberdeen railway station is the busiest among those north of Glasgow and Edinburgh and serves trains from around Scotland, London, and even all the way to Penzance.

There are ten hotels and guesthouses with great reviews and ratings within 350 meters (around 5 minutes’ walk) of the Aberdeen railway station. The top three (3) picks are described in more detail below and all ten are summarized in the table that follows. To ensure quality, all the hotels shortlisted below have a rating of at least 8/10 at Booking.com — where only verified guests can rate and review hotels — and at least 4/5 in TripAdvisor and Google Reviews. (This is why The Station Hotel was not included in this list, as it only has a rating of 7.3 in Booking.com.)

1. Jurys Inn Aberdeen

For sheer proximity to the Aberdeen train station, it’s hard to look past Jurys Inn Aberdeen. It’s also right next to the Aberdeen bus station and the Union Square Shopping Centre. Union Street, Aberdeen’s main shopping street, is only 5 minutes away on foot, while the Aberdeen Ferry Terminal is only 10 minutes’ walk away. And because it’s right next to a mall, you won’t have a problem finding somewhere to eat that suits your tastes and price range. The only drawback with Jurys Inn seems to be that they don’t have single rooms, so if you’re travelling by yourself, staying here will cost you a bit more than if you get a single room at the other hotels and guesthouses in this list. But otherwise, this is a clean, comfortable accommodation in an excellent location.

2. Royal Crown Guest House

A previous guest refers to the Royal Crown Guest House as a hidden gem and it is indeed a great find: centrally located but on a quiet street, reasonably priced, clean and comfortable, with free parking. They have a variety of single and double/twin rooms, several of which have shared bathrooms, so if you want a room with a private bathroom, be sure to select that option when booking. Their budget single room is the cheapest among the accommodations listed here. The hosts’ friendliness and helpfulness are particularly appreciated by those travellers who have stayed with them. Pets are not allowed.

3. Lochnagar Guest House

A nice lovely guesthouse with a shared kitchen, Lochnagar Guest House is one of the best places to stay near the Aberdeen rail station. The shared kitchen has a microwave, toaster, and fridge, with lots of different food — including fresh fruit, cereal, yogurt, milk, coffee, and tea — to which guests can help themselves. They have a single room perfect for solo travellers, as well as a double room with a private bathroom and a budget double room. The latter double is only referred to as “budget” because it has a shared bathroom but it is otherwise spacious and just as comfortable. Lochnagar Guest House allows pets and one previous guest noted how much they appreciated that their pet was not only tolerated but positively welcomed.
