A beautifully kept historic hotel full of charm, welcoming staff and good food. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Great place, comfortable bed, spacious room and helpful staff. Great food and drinks
Neville, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful facility with great and accommodating staff. My only complaint was the room we had (528) needed some TLC. The paint was terribly scuffed on some of the walls which made the room appear neglected and dirty.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great stay . Lovely meals. Good service.
Sheila, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely characteristic hotel with very professional staff. A quiet get away for those needing it to relax and recoup. A bit expensive considering there was no pool, hot tub or sauna & steam facilities but the hotel it's self is absolutely beautiful.
Paul, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

All the area around and the building inside are beautiful
Sonia Coromoto, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in room 228. Room itself was great but the hot water in bathroom was so hot it scalded my partners hands. A warning sticker may be a good idea to warn guests of this. We also bought two single spirits with mixer and bill came to £19.70 which is very expensive even by hotel prices.
Laura, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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

Absolutely stunning hotel, brought my Canadian colleague on business and he loved the authentic Scottish heritage feel of the hotel. I also appreciated the Bible in the room, something not seen often these days

We liked the peaceful setting and the staff made you feel special, very attentive but not fawning over you. The hotel had an old world charm but efficiently run with modern technology. Food and service excellent.

Service was ok. Not over the top.

4/10 Fair

Having stayed here before, and had a good experience, sadly this was the exact opposite! The corridor had a ruffled carpet which was clearly a trip hazard. The passageway smelled of dampness, and the room hadn’t been updated since the 1980’s. Room was dark, and also needs updating. Staff were friendly, but the service was slow. Food was good, but expensive!

New Years Day treat

A night of highland comfort on a snowy New Years Day! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We recently stayed at the McDonald Norwood Hotel and had a truly pleasant experience. From the moment we arrived, the lady at the front desk stood out with her warm and friendly manner. She made the check-in process smooth and welcoming, instantly making us feel comfortable after a long journey. Throughout our stay, she was more than happy to assist with anything we needed — a true asset to the hotel team. Our room was lovely, spacious, and clean, with a beautiful view of the surrounding woods. It added a peaceful touch to our stay, making it even more relaxing. Overall, the service and setting made for a wonderful visit. I would gladly return and recommend it to others looking for a quiet and friendly place to stay.
