Mercure Aberdeen Caledonian Hotel Review | City Centre Location

In Aberdeen there are two incredible Mercure Hotels, both are very different but have their own unique charm and benefits to them. This one is the Mercure Aberdeen Caledonian Hotel which is in a city centre location and the other is the Mercure Aberdeen Ardoe Hotel & Spa, which you can read my review here and is situated in a rural location. The Caledonian is right in the centre of Aberdeen town centre and only a 20 minute drive to the airport making it a great hotel for a short break or business travellers.

The hotels main entrance is situated on Union Terrace which is a main road, so if you are arriving by car, set you sat-nav to Diamond Street which will take you to the rear entrance of the hotel and where the carpark is. The carpark is small but free to guests staying at the Mercure Hotel, just take a ticket to enter and inform the reception staff that you have parked there with your registration details. When checking out, you'll be handed a coin like token to exit. 

The location of this hotel is just perfect with views out over the Union Terrace Gardens and the Kirk of St Nicholas historic church. It's also a stones throw away from the main shopping areas of Union Street and Union Square Shopping Centre. 

The room that I stayed in was large and modern with a huge, comfortable bed and all required amenities such as free unlimited WiFi, coffee and tea making facilities, flat screen TV, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. There is a variety of different room sizes at different prices, so to get the best rate check out the Mercure Aberdeen Caledonian Hotel website here.

The hotel comprises of one restaurant and one bar which kind of merge into one. Its cosy and large with plenty of seating and perfect for a drink after work with colleges or friends. This hotel is comfortable, friendly and welcoming and incredible value for money especially for the location.
