Siberia Bar & Hotel in Aberdeen

Ah, Siberia Bar & Hotel – it's one of those places in Aberdeen that really grows on you once you settle in. I have to say, the staff are an absolute delight; they're so approachable and make the whole experience feel warm and personal, whether you're grabbing a drink or checking into a room. The rooms themselves are a treat – clean, snug, and packed with essentials like fluffy towels and smart TVs, all at a price that won't break the bank. And the bar? It's got this buzzing energy with great tunes and a beer garden that's ideal for a catch-up on a sunny evening. Plus, being slap bang in the city centre means you're just steps away from all the best bits, like theatres and shops. But, let's keep it real, it's not perfect. I've heard a few tales of service being a bit uneven, like one cocktail tasting different depending on who makes it, or prices varying for the same thing, which can leave you scratching your head. On the hotel side, policies can be a bit inflexible at times, and it's a shame about the small oversights, such as no kettle in the room for that much-needed cuppa or a fridge to store your snacks. Still, with its solid 4.4 rating, it's clear most folks have a good time here, and I'd say it's worth a visit if you're after a relaxed spot with a mix of pub vibes and comfortable digs – just go in expecting a bit of that real-world charm.
