I loved my 12-day stay at the Thistle. My previous stays in Aberdeen were the Hilton Treetops, the Royal Hotel and the Brentwood Hotel. Thistle Altens is by far the best. Rooms were recently refurbished in different, very elegant, styles. The only downsides are the location - convenient when working in the Altens industrial estate, but far from the city... more

I booked a business trip for 3 nights 4 days in Aberdeen City Centre. Unfortunately as per usual Hotel accommodation within Aberdeen is scarce. My first choice was fully booked and I was provided alternative accommodation at this hotel. After reading some of the reviews on this web site I decided to book a hire car as well, which was... more

I stayed here for a work event and was lucky to get a refurbished room. A nice size room with a huge bed, dressing gown & slippers. The pool & jacuzzi were clean and everything worked. Didn't eat in much, but breakfasts were good and the potato wedges were excellent. more

The hotel is a fairly good quality and I believe they are upgrading many rooms. Ours was still original but was comfortable and very clean. We were wrongly given a standard double room but should've been a superior 2x double beds but soon rectified when I returned to Reception. Simple mistake I think. The bathroom was adequate with a bath... more

Welcoming reception staff who are knowledgable and friendly, Room was nice, large and comfortable. Restuarant was nice and food cooked and presented well. Staff were friendly and were attentive. No complaints about this hotel at all. If you dont have a car with you then there is a bus stop outside the hotel for easy access to city centre (20... more

Was a bit worried after reading the negative reviews before I went, but neednt have worried. The hotel is perhaps a bit frayed round the edges and looks from the outside like a bunker from Hitler's Atlantic Wall, but dont be put off by the appearance. Found the rooms to be spotless and facilities were excellent. the lifts certainly have... more

The Thistle in Altens is of a good standard and is clean throughout. It's nothing amazing but it is much more reasonably priced than other hotels in Aberdeen. It's located a little out of the way for the city centre but was ideal for where I was working. You will need to use a car or taxi's in order to... more

We visit Aberdeen regularly to visit our sons who are at university. We've stayed in various hotels, travelodges and travelinns in the city and have to say this is the best value hotel we've been to. We paid less than £40 for the night which is considerably cheaper than the travelinn and we were able to have a swim in... more

Fantastic value for a weekend break with swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and executive room. 2 doubles and a single in our family room and loads of space. Paid £44 per night. Drink and food expensive but you dont have to use the bar or restaraunt. Highly recommended if you dont mind the distance from the town center. more

A ghastly overpriced place with rude/offhand girls on reception after an interminable wait in the check in queue.Room was dirty with sinister stains on bed covers and carpet. All the lights and pictures etc. were at crazy angles, some lights didn't work. One bed was missing a valance. Bathroom had more hair on the floor from a previous occupant that... more
