5-day stay for the science festival at the University of Aberdeen. Chose the Atholl because I wanted easy, free, secure parking, quiet location and a walkable distance (or not-too-expensive taxi ride) from the city centre. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very good food in the restaurant, which can get fully booked, but the same food is also available in the... More

First of all, I'll emphasise what this hotel isn't: it isn't a trendy city center hotel, nor is it somewhere that you would go to experience the nightlife. It is, however, a friendly small hotel with immaculate, individually decorated rooms and a nice location in the quiet (but upmarket) West End of Aberdeen. The staff were (without exception) friendly and... More

Our three night stay was very comfortable and relaxing. Service was excellent and the staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel has traditional furnishings and decor and its relatively small size gives it an intimate and personal feel (unlike large chain hotels). A minor negative was that the bathroom in our allocated room had adaptations for wheelchair users, so the... More

We stayed for two nights for the weekend of the 26th April 2013. The room was spacious (no 17 )although the view was poor looking out to a wall however it was clean and the maids did the room quite early each morning and gave you clean towels etc. One thing that was missing was a toilet brush seems a...

We spent one night DB&B at the Atholl hotel and found it an excellent place to stay in Aberdeen. The restaurant was busy but served large portions - beware before ordering because we were stuffed before the end and couldn't manage dessert! But the fare was excellent, traditional Scottish fare and plenty of it. Breakfast next morning was also a... More

This was given so many good reviews by friends that when we needed a weekend trip we stayed here. The staff are friendly and always busy, this seemed to be non-stop at reception. The room, food and ambiance is traditional and all done well. You can still walk to the centre, it took us around ten minutes. Nice to see... More

Stayed overnight whilst attending a function at the hotel. Great location within walking distance of the city centre. There is a bus service too which stops pretty much outside the hotel. Nice welcome and efficient check in. Hotel room lovely. Very comfortable and well laid out. Didn't eat in the hotel, except for breakfast which was excellent. I would definitely... More

I have stayed at the Atholl twice now, both on business trips.On both occasions I have found the service to be prompt and friendly, however busy they are there always seems to be someone available to answer your query. The Atholl is a bustling hotel with many of the restaurant guests being locals (which for me is always a good... More

This is one of those places you find by accident and return with intent. What a fabulous find! Very clean and well-kept, everything in working order. Amazing restaurant. Family oriented, a bit of an older crowd, but such a fine representation of Scottish values and cooking. Not one negative here.
