Hotels in Aberdeen
Aberdeen has a clear centre along Union Street, so choosing a hotel mostly comes down to two things: how close you want to be to the station, and how quiet you want the street outside to be.
Start with Union Street
Union Street is the main thoroughfare of central Aberdeen, and hotels on it or just off it are the easiest to reach on foot from the railway station. That convenience is the reason to choose the area. This is a working centre, so expect shops and offices by day and a calmer street once they close, with the evening bustle concentrated in particular pockets rather than along the whole length.

The West End for a calmer street
West of the centre, the streets around Albyn Place and Queen's Road are largely residential or given over to offices. A hotel here usually sits on a quieter road than one on Union Street, which suits anyone who would like an unremarkable arrival and a short taxi ride back to the station when the evening ends.

Near the harbour
Aberdeen's harbour lies just east of the centre and is a working port. Accommodation close to it tends to be used by people travelling for work, so reception staff are accustomed to guests arriving at all sorts of hours. The walk to the centre is manageable in dry weather, but you may prefer a taxi after dark or in rain.

Arriving without fuss
Before you book, ring and ask three plain questions. Is reception staffed in the evening? Does the lift reach the rooms directly, or do you pass the bar? Can you have a room away from the lift? Hotels normally want the booker's details at the desk, so settle payment and paperwork first, before anyone joins you. Then nobody needs to stop at the front desk on the way in.

Frequently asked questions
The station sits on the edge of the centre, and plenty of central hotels sit within minutes of it on foot, or a brief taxi ride away. Look at the route on a map before booking, particularly if you are carrying luggage.
For an early start or a late return it helps to arrange a licensed firm beforehand, and most hotel desks will call one for you if you ask.
