Torryburn Hotel

Having stayed at the Torryburn I can say without doubt it is one of the worst hotels I have stayed in in a long time. Being on a business trip I wanted some where convenient to the airport and not too far from my regional office. The Torryburn came up on a search and from what was said about it seemed nice after a refurbishment in 2008!
However on arriving, the conservatory looked like it had not been cleaned on the outside since it had been built, on entering the hotel there was no reception so I went into the bar to check in. An oderous smell of tobacco was evident throughout my stay, the bar/lounge area although relatively comfortable with a large screen TV, may aswell not have been there as there is a public bar on the other side of the lounge and they govern what is watched on the TV all night, not paying guests. So after 2 hours of suffering horse racing I retired to my room.
Sky TV was advertised in the bedrooms, this is a complete lie as no sky channels were available and the teresteral TV picture was terrible due to an ill fitting TV aeriel wire hanging out of the socket which I had to prop up with a wire coathanger!!
The shower in the morning just topped off my stay with water pouring out of a faulty shower connection thereby lowering the water pressure that I had to shower in.
All in all shocking, wish I had stayed at a Travelodge.

After reading the a Review i felt the need to add my comments. I stay in glasgow and work in aberdeen every couple of weeks, where my work offer the choice of accomidation. between 10-15 times i have stayed at this hotel, where i can tell you that i have always found it a very pleasent place to stay. the hotel is very clean, the staff are very friendly. and most of all the food has always been to an excelent standard. The hotel serves one of the best Aberdeen Angus Steak pies i have ever tasted. previously working as a Qualified chef i beleive the food to be some of the best ive tasted yet! The only downfall I beleive this hotel does have is the variation of room sizes it has to offer. sometimes i have found myself in a room with double and single beds + a large two seat lounge chair all with plenty of room aswel, and then other times the room i have only has a single bed with barely room for you or anything else. so always good to request room 12. Overall i feel this hotel is a great wee find and i highly recomend it to others for a short stay.
