Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Marcliffe, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor, ideally 5th floor or above, for a quieter stay. The hotel's proximity to the North Deeside Road means that lower floors may be more prone to traffic noise.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms facing the service entrance or the rear of the hotel, as they may be more susceptible to noise from the service area and nearby commercial properties.

🪟

Best views

Rooms on the north side of the hotel (facing the Deeside Road) may offer views of the surrounding countryside, while rooms on the south side may face the hotel's rear parking area.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 5-7 are likely to be the quietest, as they are away from the main road and lift noise.

🔊 Noise notes

Be aware that the hotel's location on North Deeside Road means that some noise from traffic and nearby commercial properties may be audible in rooms, especially on lower floors.

Insider tips

Take advantage of the hotel's car park, which is free for guests, and request a parking space close to the entrance to make your stay more convenient. Ask the staff about the hotel's local knowledge and recommendations for exploring Aberdeen, as they may be able to provide valuable insights and tips for getting the most out of your stay.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
