Although occupancy & rates are down other brands in the city that have refurbed have done a full kit out so it would be pretty short sighted if they didn't do a full refit here especially considering the number of rooms that are currently in the pipeline. There is still an appetite to build/open hotels in Aberdeen.

Here at the moment. Refit is now well underway and it looks like a full wing is currently closed off.
Very similar to Strathclyde, I posted pictures of the rooms a few weeks back in this thread so won't bother posting pictures of here as they are almost identical tbh. One positive is the power points are in the right places here compared to Strathclyde.
Still a few things to be done - carpets, mirrors etc but yes - a massive improvement in the rooms.

Hi Chris,
Really appreciate you posting this, use it about once a year, last there in the spring and thought it desperately needed TLC.
Cheers

Yes. several.
Mediocre service and generally tired rooms, but currently quite inexpensive, especially at weekends.
Bar and restaurant are recently refurbished and offer reasonable value.
Two drinks vouchers issued at each check-in for HH Diamond (interestingly they are all valid until 31 Dec 2018, so can be "stock piled").
Reliable upgrades to deluxe rooms - which can be quite large in the original main building - for Diamond members.
Cannot comment on gym / pool / health club as have not visited recently.

The rooms were painted and the bedding/furniture replaced, however unlike the other conversions that were done at the same time the carpets and pictures etc weren’t replaced plus they done nothing about the creaky floorboards or the bathrooms so it all looks out of place.
Its about five months since I last stayed there so if the bar and restaurant have been refurbed it’s very recent.
Its bottom of the list in aberdeen for me when it comes to HH. Even the Hampton at Westhill where half the rooms get no mobile signal is above here for me.

I had to unlock them recently to re-tune because they don't have the new BBC Scotland channel tuned in.
