Aberdeen got a big new kid on the hotel block when Jurys opened late ‘09. The silver-clad building's part of impressive new Union Square by the rail station. Step off train, step into hotel. Weekend guests get lowest rates; midweek, rooms offer value in a market which needed more competition. Bedrooms are fresh: modern décor, practical desk, good bathrooms; some have great views. Bar lounge a nice space to relax: plush-covered seats, sofas in metallic shades, tall windows, free wi-fi here, all-day dining, good whiskies. Restaurant is open-plan, airy. Four attractive meetings / events rooms. Jurys is an Irish company with growing Scottish presence and characteristics we applaud, recognisedby awards. Friendly staff, good management, glowing green credentials. Need to know > Of the 203 bedrooms 109 are termed ‘twins’ but have double + single beds > All rooms same rate; all have air-conditioning, flatscreen TV, hairdryer, toiletries, newspaper > Quietest / best view rooms on the higher floors with the best of all on levels 5, 6 and 7 > Nab a corner room (numbers end -02 or -03) for a bit more space plus a double window > We stayed in double room 719 which had, like many, a fine view of bustling harbour > Particularly good selection of well-planned accessible rooms with choice of shower or bath > Wi-fi free in public areas (level 0); in room it's £5hr / £10 day (cable short, bring own if poss) > In-room dining simply done – ring down your order, pick up tray; no extra charge > The restaurant offers a wide range of good meals incl. fish, curries, steaks, salads and more > Set dinner menu (3 choices per course) is £15 for 2 courses; bar lounge has all-day light meals We love… … Jurys commitment to a green agenda where the actions are bold and award-winning … The superb convenience of the hotel if arriving in Aberdeen by train … Higher-level floors (see tips above) with their views over city or harbour … Tasty, generous and often homemade food better than might be expected in budget hotel … Twin rooms with their double bed + single bed arrangement for flexibility, space
