Our accommodation is a flat with kitchen, bathroom, lounge and two bedrooms. When we arrived there was a complimentary bottle of wine on the dining table. We were shown the communal lounge and...

Stayed here for just one night on the last Saturday in May. Really nice place. Great rooms, complimentary drinks, very fairly priced honesty bar. Friendly staff, great breakfast. Clean.

Quaint and very quiet lodging off the beaten path but still within a one mile walk of the ABZ train station and within a 20min cab ride to the airport if no traffic. The rentals are more like mini-flats with bedroom, sitting room, small kitchen and bath. It appears that several separate 4 floor buildings are part of this facility... More

We were a bit tired when we arrived, but a friendly staff lead us to an apartment with two bedrooms. A bit oldfashioned, but we really didn't mind. We slept well and enjoyed the generous continental breakfast before we moved on.

The Skene offers 'serviced appartments'. What I most like about it is that everything is included which I find satisfying. Good quality internet in my room, secure parking, breakfast all included. Also there is a nice common area with tea, coffee, biscuits and papers for free. The rooms are appartments that have kitchens, living rooms, separate bedrooms. Service is always... More

This hotel was above expectation. The staff were so helpful and the apartment was roomy and comfortable. Breakfast was a big bonus with helpful waiters. Lounge had free coffee, tea and biscuits. There was an honesty bar with the first drink free. Wi-fi and free use of computer in the lounge - really could not fault it.
