Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen

The Leonardo Hotel in Aberdeen is easily accessed if you’re travelling by public transport, bus or train. Efficient online check-in and check-out. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast - wide choice and hot plates kept topped up from the kitchen. Limited restaurant facilities but Union Square’s wealth of eateries is just a walk away.||Staying for one night only, I chose a Standard room on the 3rd Floor. Light and airy; excellent bathroom facilities (bath and shower). Open wardrobe with hangers and some drawer-space if you want to use it. Tea and coffee facilities. Blackout curtains kept out the Aberdeen sun, rising at 04:30 at this time of year. Quiet despite overlooking the bus station but I’m not here for the view! Air Con etc. very efficient. Night time lighting not great?||Enjoyed the brief stay with family very much.

Lovely central hotel. Asked for a quite room and was given a room at the end of the corridor which was just what I had asked for. Breakfast was good and the staff were very nice. Unfortunately the safe wasn't working, but we didn't request maintenance as we weren't wanting to move rooms. The coffee machine was good and everything in the fridge (pepsi, kitkats etc) was replaced daily as was the coffee and biscuits. All in all a very good stay.

I arrived at the reception after a long haul flight and asked for a room. The staff were polite and prompt. Going the extra mile, I was able to get settled in quickly and able to rest in comfort. Throughout my stay, all members of staff were very attentive and friendly. The room was clean, the water hot and all I can add now, is to say that I would highly recommend this hotel.

Stayed here for a couple of nights on a Groupon deal - 2 nights B&B with a bottle of Prosecco (which was happily exchanged for wine) - amazing deal! Lovely room with all mod cons including a fridge - water provided and a courtesy tray with biscuits and everything else you could want. The room was lovely - comfy beds and nice bathroom. The staff were really friendly and helpful. |Breakfast was nice and we ate dinner in the bar one night - it was ok. ||Our room on flor 7 had lovely views - annoyingly it was an adjoining room’ and we heard next doors tv all evening.

If I could give 10 stars then I would. 5 stars is not enough. |A massive thanks to Oggy for arranging the room upgrade and birthday surprise. It really did make my day as I wasn’t expecting it at all. Check in was friendly and informative. The room was lovely. Good views, clean and comfortable. |Bar staff were friendly and attentive. Would fully recommend staying here just for the hospitality alone not to mention how handy it is for shopping. Fantastic place, you guys rock 🤘.

I stayed at this hotel recently and found the location to be excellent — it's in a prime spot just a 2-minute walk from Aberdeen Station, and it's conveniently attached to a small shopping mall. If you're driving, there's a reasonably priced parking option right next to the station at just £6 per day. In my experience, parking availability was never an issue. The rooms are decent for the price, though it’s worth noting that not all rooms come with a safe box or fridge. The air conditioning could be improved — it wasn’t very efficient and tended to switch off automatically. Overall, this is a good option for a short stay or if you're traveling on a budget. The location and value make it worth considering despite a few minor downsides.

The hotel is right next to the train and bus station and you can enter it from the 1st floor of Union square shopping centre. Check in was 3 pm.,we arrived half an hour early and our room was ready. Room was clean and comfortable although we had a double and a single bed there was enough room. All staff especially Oggy from reception were very friendly and helpful. We had breakfast included which was good, lots of choice. If I had on complaint the coffee machine was not great. I picked a white americano but the steamed milk missed the cup so ended up having to get cold milk. However not big issue. |Union square has a large variety of restaurants to pick from and the hotel is only a 5 min walk to union street through the trinity centre. With our booking on groupon our checkout was 2pm . It also came with a bottle of Prosecco. I would definitely go back and if you are travelling to Aberdeen, give it a go.

A friendly welcome at reception. A very clean room. Good additional grab rails, hooks on door and large bath sheet in bathroom. Huge windows. Comfy beds. All needs met. Breakfast was good and food kept hot. Again, staff friendly even although busy restocking.|I found the lifts a bit quirky to operate - not a nice feeling.

Given the hotel is part of the Union Square complex that is attached to the train station, Jury's Inn are very accommodating of Cally Sleeper customers - they let me check in at 8am for no additional charge. Very pleased with that service and I would stay there again purely on that point alone. My room was of a big size. It was set up as a double and single but booked for single occupancy so tons of space. The bathroom was very noisy (plumbing?) which might bother some. Given I had checked in early, I was grateful for any room and as the noise didn't bother me, I didn't say anything. Similarly, the main light didn't work, however there were four other lights so I wasn't fussed. Room came with an iron and ironing board - the ironing board cover was far too thin (pretty common with hotels) but there were enough towels that I could pop one under the cover to plump it up. TV was adequate, tea and coffee making facilities available (and an ice machine outside the room down the corridor) but no biscuits. Shower gel, soap and shampoo all provided, but the shampoo was very harsh and I would recommend bringing your usual brand. The breakfast is glorious and this is where the hotel picks up more brownie points. For £10 you have your choice of fry up (all the usual including some excellent pork sausages), cold cuts (continental), cereal, French pastries, fruit segments/chopped watermelon, bread, tea, coffee and fruit juice. I didn't need lunch on any day. On the whole, this is a pretty average hotel, however it has a great location, great breakfast, friendly staff and really comfy beds (I had the best night's sleep in a long time). Whilst it may "only" be a three, this is where I will look to stay first next time I'm in the city.

The good: A quite good 7 story affair in the middle of town. Nice bar and restaurant. Its located in an upscale mall with lots and lots of food choices, including - seriously, a gourmet food shop - quite incredible really. Remind me to tell you sometime about Scottish oatmeal wafers topped with a sliver of 72% dark chocolate and dipped in organic cherry yogurt. Plus...its connected with the rail in Aberdeen, so getting to and from destinations near and far is as simple as a train and a bus - incredible really. Plus plus...service is ultra friendly and accommodating: gotta love those Scottish accents! The bad: Why, you might be wondering is this not a 4 or a more likely (according to my off balance grading scale) 5 star. Well, I'll tell you why: The shower curtain stinks. Yeah - its musty. Surely the staff and management of the hotel have noses? I'll stay here again, but cmon' people, get this fixed please.

Hotel looks nice enough but staff isn't very friendly and they only have really stiff pillows with no softer ones. Was tempted to rip half the stuffing out of one of them so I could get a decent nights sleep. Worst hotel I've ever been to in terms of sleeping comfortably. Very disappointed.

Stumbled upon this hotel while lost in Scotland (driving tour with Google Maps didn't go so well - Aberdeen is one confusing place to roam!) The shopping mall that's connected is great, everything to choose from. I'm told this is very much a college-town, lots of universities and people in their 20s. A few bars nearby as well. Hotel served its purpose (we needed a very last-minute place to sleep), but otherwise, it was nothing special. No WIFI in our room, I think we had to use it in the lobby. Room was fine, again, nothing special. And the hotel bar didn't really "match" the hotel. And breakfast was expensive, I recommend going to a cafe in the mall instead of eating at the hotel. Glad we had somewhere to sleep, but I probably wouldn't go back.

'Generic' sums up this six year old hotel in central Aberdeen. It's perfectly functional, but don't expect many frills or anything fabulous. The best thing about this place is its location, right on top of the Union Square shopping mall, where there's a Cineworld, 20+ restaurants open until 10pm-ish, and 40ish shops open till 8pm during the week. As with all hotels in Aberdeen it's expensive, you'd pay 30% less for the same standard of hotel in Glasgow, Manchester or Birmingham. The rooms are a good size, modern, spotlessly clean. The beds are comfy, there's extra pillows n blankets in the wardrobe, along with the obligatory ironing board. You'll also find a flat screen with 20ish free channels, there's free basic wi-fi (book online for complimentary upgrade to super fast wi-fi, perfect for Netflix!). You'll find some basic toiletries and plenty of towels in the bathroom, and the shower's great. There are no mini bars, but there are ice machines in the hallways, I'd stock up on bottled water (or booze) across the street at the Sainsbury's Local. The buffet breakfast offers a good selection (inc. haggis!), but expect to serve yourself, there's no waitress service not even for drinks. Room service is odd too, order from your room, but collect form the restaurant on the ground floor (so not really room service). This place is also handy if you're travelling by train, the stations right next door to Union Square. So all in all its ok, nothing wrong with it, a generic business mans hotel. Oh, no gym either.
