The rooms and the bed are good. However, the shower in the washroom needs to be changed. The hot water seems to give a bit of disappointment as either the water is not so hot enough or the hot cycles are included with cold cycles of water, which comes out directly as a shower. Thank you
Great affordable room,with a small continental breakfast included . What else do you need. It was very clean room.
Very good value for money. Basic but clean. Nice and quiet inside. Only thing I would suggest is improving the water pressure in the shower. Would use again!
Was in Aberdeen for my daughters Graduation and stayed at Butlers guest house for 2 nights. Was such a cosy stay. They’ve even managed to change my dates at last minute due to my daughter mixing up her dates. Was very clean and the beds were so comfortable. Breakfast was a lovely selection of cereals and drinks. Just what we needed. Thank you.
I had the most lovely stay at the Butler's Guest House. It is only a five minute walk from the train station. The owners are so kind and friendly. I felt very welcome at all times. The room was charming and perfectly clean. The wifi was reliable and fast. During the night it was very quiet. The breakfast had everything I personally like and especially the fruit was great. When I come back to Aberdeen I will definetly stay here again and I can recommend it to everyone, who comes to Aberdeen. Especially for the price, an absolute gem.
Very good value for money. Bed very confortable, location IS good. No interaction with the host but you dont need them as everything IS well prepared. Check in IS simple and fast. Would recommend.
Very comfortable, well-appointed and clean room, good self-service breakfast, easy check in/access. An easy walk from station especially if you come out through multi-storey carpark onto College St.! Would definitely use again. Thank you
Wonderful location, comfortable room with all necessities provided in ample measure. Self service breakfast provided a wide range of cereals, teas, coffees, yoghurts, etc. All keys are electronic - it was fiddly getting the initial codes in, but once inside your room you were provided with a fob which opened both front and room doors. Chris and Ryan, who run the house, were unfailingly helpful although they do not live on site but can be contacted by phone or WhatsApp. Few hotels can rival Butlers.
In a traditional granite townhouse, this simple B&B is a 7-minute walk from Aberdeen train station and 1.4 miles from Aberdeen's beach and esplanade.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
