About The Aberdeen Altens Hotel
Aberdeen's outskirts on Souterhead Road are home to The Aberdeen Altens Hotel, a sizeable 216-room property geared towards both business stays and family breaks. It's a practical base with free on-site parking, a lift for easy access, and porter and concierge services on hand for guests who want a bit of extra help.
Rooms are spacious and kept clean, though some are showing their age rather than feeling freshly refurbished. Facilities go well beyond the basics, with a gym, an indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room forming a well-maintained leisure setup that guests rate highly. The restaurant serves a varied menu, breakfast is included, and there's a bar for evening drinks, backed up by meeting rooms and a wedding venue for events. Free WiFi and a garden round out the offer.
Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful, which goes some way to making up for the dated decor in places. Beyond the hotel, Hazelhead Park & Pets Corner gives a nearby outdoor option, and there are pubs, bars and restaurants in the surrounding area for guests who fancy heading out.

What guests say
Stayed here for 2 nights. Rooms were nice enough, a few small aesthetic marks and damages but the rooms were cheap enough and the access to the pool/spa made it definitely worth while! Really impressed with how clean the spa area was. The rooms were also very clean and the bed was massive! Only thing that let it down was the restaurant was quite expensive for what was offered and I finally got drinks I ordered after speaking to a different waitress. The breakfast was good and lots of choice. I would stay here again.

This hotel is 20 mins taxi from the airport, has a nice pool for swimming. Large bar and restaurant area with a good choice of food and buffet breakfast in the morning. Free wifi throughout. Stayed on business. You can pre book taxis in the reception area. Friendly staff who can help with any issues. Worth a visit if your in Aberdeen.

Nice convenient hotel for business travel. Excellent restaurant and super service team. Gym and pool are old but well equipped. Young gentleman on the leisure reception was a bit rude. Overall a good stay.

Family of 2+1. Stayed for one night only. Room was clean and HUGE for the price. Staff was unbelievably welcoming and friendly. Swimming pool guy really helpful. Food was really good. Asked for a drink out of the menu. "We've got ingredients. We"ll make it for you." Absolutely amazing experience. Will be back just for the service :)
