Appalling Experience – Booking Cancelled Twice, Price Hiked, and Refund Mess
I had an incredibly frustrating experience with Brentwood Aberdeen City Centre near Union Street. I originally booked a room well in advance, only for the hotel to cancel my reservation without warning. The same room was then immediately relisted at a higher price.
Trying to salvage my plans, I rebooked at the inflated rate — only to have that second booking cancelled just one hour before I was due to arrive. No call, no apology, just a generic cancellation email. I was left stranded, tired, and scrambling to find last-minute accommodation.
To make matters worse, the hotel said they’d issue a refund — then followed up with another email telling me to request the refund myself. That triggered even more stress, as I now had to explain the situation to Hotels.com, making it clear that I didn’t cancel anything — the hotel did. And yet, they had the nerve to try and charge me a cancellation fee.
This was hands down the most unprofessional, dishonest experience I’ve ever had with a hotel. If you value peace of mind, avoid this place at all costs.
