About The Dunavon
Union Street and Aberdeen's city centre attractions are within easy reach of The Dunavon, on Victoria Street, making it a practical base for exploring the city on foot. Golf, fishing, horse riding and cycling can all be arranged nearby, while walking routes and a scattering of pubs and restaurants sit close at hand for evenings out.
The hotel has 22 rooms, including family and accessible options, all with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided in-room. Some guests have found the rooms in need of better upkeep, so it's worth setting expectations accordingly, though the practical extras help: room service, laundry, luggage storage and free WiFi are all available, alongside business services and meeting rooms for those travelling for work.
The on-site restaurant and bar are where The Dunavon stands out, with a varied menu that includes gluten-free choices and a Sunday roast, served by staff who are consistently described as attentive and friendly. Prices are considered fair, and the atmosphere is cosy with a modern touch. Breakfast and packed lunches are also available, along with kids' meals for families passing through.
What guests say
My friend and I have been coming here regularly for quite a while, and it used to be one of our favourite spots. The previous assistant manager was absolutely fantastic — they clearly cared about the restaurant, the staff, and the customers. The atmosphere always felt welcoming and well-run because of them. He would know us by name, if I phoned he would know our wine order and favourite table. unfortunately the experience just isn’t the same. Things feel a lot less organised and the overall atmosphere has changed. It doesn’t seem like the same level of care is being put into the place anymore, which is really disappointing for those of us who used to love coming here. I’m writing this because I genuinely hope things improve. This restaurant has so much potential and used to be a great place to visit. I’d love to see it return to the standard it had before.

Had a lovely meal there last night with a friend. Menu was very good with a special selection as well. We both selected off the specials menu and the food was lovely, Chicken curry with poppadoms and onions plus sweet and sour crispy pork with rice and even got some of the tasty onions as well

Was only in for the restaurant so cant rate the hotel. An excellent meal in a bright airy room at the back of the hotel, service was really good from all staff and the food was presented beautifully and was very tasty , I had the sausage roll and then the chilli and then the pecan pie with raspberry ice cream but honestly could have had more than 3 or 4 options of all courses as there is a good size of menu ,will definitely be back

Absolutely top notch service. We couldn't have asked for more kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was nice with a cooked option and continental buffet. The room at the front of the hotel was spacious, clean and accomodated and extra bed for one of my children.
