Hotel has been renovated from a Victorian mansion. The rooms are very nice, tho the hallways are a bit confusing at first.

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.

First time back to Norwood Hall in many years and it has not disappointed us in any way. Staff were very attentive but not in an intrusive way at all. Very enjoyable stay.

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.

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.

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
