Wasn’t explained any information at check-in; had to ask about breakfast and check out time. Was shown to a lift to get to our room. Lots of moths in the room and not enough shampoo or shower gel for 2 people for 2 nights. Desk also had dried chocolate under one of the leaflets and dead flies on window sill. Breakfast was fine, staff at that were lovely. Drinks at the wedding were extortionate: the fact you don’t do dashes is ridiculous. Having to buy a bottle of Coke every time to go with a spirit is daylight robbery. No one at the desk for check out, I rang the bell twice. Another couple appeared to check out too (at 11am). Eventually a man came, no apology or asking how the stay was. Just took the key and said that’s fine.

Norwood Hall Hotel, Aberdeen Norwood Hall Hotel presents a striking first impression with its richly panelled interiors in the reception, bar, and restaurant areas, evoking a sense of traditional Scottish elegance. However, our stay was in the more modern wing, which offered a refreshing contrast. Our room was spacious, tastefully appointed, and exceptionally comfortable. We dined in-house and thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal of fish and chips, which was well-prepared and satisfying. Breakfast the following morning was equally impressive, with a generous selection and high-quality ingredients and excellent service. Throughout our stay, the service was consistently excellent. Norwood Hall blends classic charm with modern comfort, making it a memorable and enjoyable base for exploring Aberdeen.

Mouse running wild the dining room!

When I advised the staff there was a mouse in the dining area, the response was that there most definitely wouldn't be. Until I showed them the video! I realise that mice can get anywhere, but expected a little more understanding, when I brought it to their attention
