Aberdeen - Red light district...
I stayed in this hotel in Aberdeen - I forget it's name, but I'll post it up if required.

On the outside, it looked nice, well finished, etc - until I went up to the 1st floor (and beyond).

There were no lifts that you would ACTUALLY want to use, the whole hotel smelt of Brut, the doors didn't fit, the views were all of scaffolding, the background noise was just there, the beds were old, smelly and I chose to not think about it too much, the showers were full of mould, the water temperature was erratic at best and I'm fairly sure I got bitten by bed bugs.

Oh, and it was in the red light district - whenever you walked there, you were ALWAYS asked for business - not to mention that there was always "ladies of the night" in the bar.

And let's not talk about the food.....

I stayed there a few times, but eventually refused to again as I just always felt dirty there.....

****shudders****

Edit - I've just re-looked this hotel up on www.tripadvisor.com and it hasn't improved....

shocked
as an aberdeen native i thought the red light district was down by the harbour (the working bit of the harbour with warehouses and silos and docks etc) whereas any hotels i could think of in guild street (along from bus and train stations) wouldn't be subject to street hookers ... so what was the hotel?
