Marcliffe

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at The Marcliffe Hotel for one night from Sunday, August 10 to Monday, August 11, 2025, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. This five-star hotel truly lives up to its reputation, thanks to its outstanding staff and impeccable service. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Carly at reception. As a party of four, we initially faced an issue with the hotel’s policy of allowing only two people per room. Carly went above and beyond to understand our situation and promptly secured a second room for us, ensuring our stay was comfortable and stress-free. Her professionalism and kindness made a lasting impression—thank you, Carly!🙏 The dinner at the hotel’s restaurant was a highlight of our stay. The meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and showcased the culinary expertise of the kitchen team. It was the perfect way to unwind after a long day. The next morning, we had an early flight to catch, and the staff’s thoughtfulness truly shone through. Tony, who was in charge of the front area, was incredibly accommodating and arranged for special sandwiches to be packed for our journey. These were expertly prepared by Chef Dave and Fraser in the kitchen, and we could taste the care and pride they put into their work. The sandwiches were a lifesaver and made our travel day so much more pleasant.👍👌 The hotel itself is elegant and comfortable, but it’s the exceptional service that sets it apart. We can’t recommend The Marcliffe enough and will definitely return on our next visit to Aberdeen. Thank you to Carly, Tony, Chef Dave, Fraser, and the entire team for making our short stay so special!

The breakfast was terrific! We ordered off of their menu and we customized our order to meet our specific preferences. The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. Overall, the staff was outstanding; all staff members were friendly and greeted us when we encountered them; and if you asked a question or requested service, they gladly provided it. Finally, the rooms were nicely appointed, clean and spacious.

Couldn't fault our overnight stay. staff very attentive. nothing too much trouble. Clean and tidy. We were there for our Ruby anniversary celebration with another couple. Our dinner was perfect, cocktails to start, an amazing delicious meal. Our room was very comfortable and had everything you needed. Lift available for access to rooms. Drawing room perfect for pre diner drinks with large comfortable sofas and chairs to lounge in. It is expensive but you are paying for 5star service and surroundings and it was a special occasion.

Wide choice of traditional and continental dishes for breakfast; evening menu relatively limited but the quality of the food is exceptional. Service is polite and efficient and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are very clean and comfortable.

Location was excellent, just out of the city but located in beautiful grounds. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful
