Anyone knopw of a good place reasonably priced to stay in Aberdeen from a Monday - Thursday? Hoping to go over soon but wont have car so need somewhere to stay close to City centre. I dont know why but Monday -Thursday are way more expensive than weekend - possibly something to do with "Oil" people there during week.

There will be 2 adults and I dont fancy staying in sons Student accomodation as I have seen what its like!!!

If you want to stay central there is a travelodge right in the city centre.

Or plenty of B&bs down crown street area still quite central.

HTH

Ok cancel that travelodge I just looked at the prices :eek:

ETA There is also a premier inn and a holiday inn
Not sure of prices tho
Will keep thinking

Haha.

ABZ is VERY expensive for hotel accommodation because of the offshore workers' demand for accommodation.

Have you tried looking at laterooms.com? If you do a search for Aberdeen city centre there might be some offers on for rooms, although to be honest it is pricey wherever you stay. The taxis are a rip- off too! :mad:

Good luck in your search! :A

Hi There

Alright - don't laugh when I suggest the youth hostel here!

It's just beside Queens Cross - the West End of Aberdeen, so needless to say, it's the nice part of town. It is across from a couple of nice bars and not too far out of town.

I agree with the other post - taxi's are ridiculous for pricing, if you let me know where you end up then I can help you with bus numbers etc.

Where about is your son's accomodation?

Thanks for all your help. Have got sorted with Royal Hotel @ £180.00 /3 nights B& B which for Aberdeen isn't bad. I stayed in Travellodge once but this time they were more expensive wthan Royal which is just across street.

Sorry you had to pay so much. Recently I put my Ma up in the Arkaig Guest House in Powis Terrace....quite reasonable and close to uni and centre of town....they have a website etc. and really nice landlords...

It was what we could afford and cheap but Ma really liked it

Maybe worth knowing for next time?

Where can I get this book? We are flying in to Prestwick and then have to get train up. However on way home we are flying direct Aberdeen to Dublin
