Brentwood Villa Bed and Breakfast

The accommodation is conveniently located near Aberdeen University and Seaton Park. Guests praised the friendly service, clean rooms, and breakfast options. Comfortable beds and thoughtful amenities were also highlighted.

I booked this hotel as it was the most convenient and economic option when visiting the University of Aberdeen (its literally right across the road). Parking is free at a nearby location (about 100m away) and was explained by the owners prior to my arrival. My single room at the front was warm but dated and rather worn, especially the bathroom which is overdue a refit. A no-frills cooked breakfast with instant coffee is offered each day, which was good value considering the budget price of the room. Other guests are mainly visiting research students so some interesting conversations over breakfast! The owner was very nice and most helpful which somewhat makes up for the tired appearance of the accommodation. Overall, this is a decent choice for visiting students and researchers on a budget - just don't set your expectations too high.

After a terrible coach journey from Sheffield I was welcomed by Steve after midnight. My breakfast order was taken and I was shown to my single room No5 on the ground floor. The room was small with single bed, hanging space, draws, hairdryer, kettle & tv. The bed was very comfortable and the curtains blocked out the light. I was woken by a rattling room door. I shoved a chair against it to stop it. I heard no road noise. The shared loo & shower room was shabby but the shower was powerful hot & clean. I had clean towels everyday. Breakfast was lovely but basic (no baked beans or sausage) cheese omelet was delicious. I had fresh orange and coffee. Steve was lovely and friendly and chatted every morning. I bought a weekly bus pass and explored Aberdeen all week from this great base and will return. With a little TLC to replace light bulbs & rusty radiators i would have given 5 stars. All in all a lovely traditional B&B
