A Weekend in Aberdeen

Your search for hotels near Aberdeen station stops here. If you’re looking for somewhere budget-friendly yet stylish and conveniently located, then book into our ibis Aberdeen Centre – Quayside. 

Situated on the doorstep of Regent Quay (ideal for an evening stroll) it’s in amongst a whole host of museums, bars and shops and it’s a mere 4-minute walk to Aberdeen train station. The perfect base for a fun-filled weekend.

Aberdeen might be a city but it’s a great place for nature lovers too. Stroll along the beautiful flower beds of Seaton Park to the north of the city, drink in the Japanese styling of Johnston Gardens, take a trip to the Donmouth Local Nature Reserve or partake in some dolphin spotting at Torry Battery – a truly magical sight to behold.

Alongside the customary fish and chips, there’s plenty of amazing food in Aberdeen.

The Silver Darling and Moonfish Café both serve outstanding seafood, while 8848 has a delectable Nepali and Indian menu. Buchanan Bistro lovingly craft their dishes from locally sourced produce and Café 52 is a local’s favourite, offering a continental-style experience and a plethora of mouth-watering dishes.

Whatever your tipple, you won’t be short on places to head for a drink. Foodstory is a zero-waste café for any eco-warriors out there, and Books and Beans is a trendy coffee shop selling top food, great books, and excellent coffee.

Fancy something a little stronger? Grab a cocktail at Orchid, step back in time with speakeasy-style cocktail bar Dusk, or sample a local speciality and order a whiskey at The Tippling House.
