My family and I recently dined at the Craighaar to celebrate a special occasion. A family member ordered the Lamb Chops from the selection of daily specials. She couldn't cut through them at all as the were extremely tough. I called a person who appeared to be in a Supervisory position over to tell her the problem. Her response was... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the minute we walked in the door till we left, warm welcome and friendly staff. Breakfast was of a very high quality with continental and also a cooked Scottish breakfast available and served quickly. Dinner in the hotel was very tasty and reasonably priced. We had arranged a family gathering during our stay for over... More

Spent two nights here recently while in the Stoneywood area. Hotel is tucked away in a housing estate and not easy to find without sat nav or local know how. Having said that there are a few brown tourist information signs showing the way but only when you get very close. It also situated on the flight path of Aberdeen... More

The hotel was quite an average place to stay but what made the stay was the quality of the food. Very helpful staff throughout my stay in all areas of the hotel from the front desk to all the serving staff. Such an obvious business person orientated hotel could do with providing free wifi as standard. Bathroom in my room... More

Have stayed here twice now for business. Staff are always polite and helpful and the rooms are spotless. I think they are refurbishing and I was in one of the un refurbished ones both times and both times throughout the night everytime I turned in bed the bed squeeked loudly. The food was good but I found my choices limited,... More

Very affordable and good value for money. Rooms are well decorated and have all of the usual facilities but the food and service are a must to sample. Good food well cooked and presented with staff who are very capable of looking after your every need. The hotel looks and is clean and presentable. I can't believe how little I... More

Only spent one night at the Craighaar, and it was also my first visit. I normally stay in Central Aberdeen as it has lots more to offer than Bankhead/Dyce ie. nothing. The reception, though small was fine and my room, although quite small, was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was very good. Unfortunately, I couldn't seem to turn the heating down,... More

Would just like to thank George and his staff for making our stay on Saturday 4th February another memorable one. We have been here on quite a few occasions including our wedding two years ago, so we decided to go there for my husband Dave's birthday. Met by George, he lead us through to the bar to have a drink... More

Stayed for one night in December 2011. A pleasant and friendly welcome from the guy on reception and with the formalities taken care of very quickly I went upstairs to my room. There didn't seem to be a lift. I am no fan of Aberdeen and Dyce hotels. They are invariably staffed by rude people and are over-priced. The food... More
