My two sons (7 and 11) and I went to Aberdeen for one day and needed a relatively cheap and cherry place to spend the night. The OYO Brentwood hotel provided what we needed.

The staff were very helpful and friendly and called taxis, gave us directions and assisted us. On the day of our departure, the gentleman who I presume to be the manager very kindly carried some of our luggage towards the bus station, using a shortcut that saved us spending money on taxi.

But like others have said, it is not the best hotel in Aberdeen. It was clean, but some things could be improved on. The room where we stayed in had a leaking toilet which I didn't notice on time. It wasn't a lot and the room did not get flooded, but it was there. I hope they get it glued/sealed again. Plus there were a few stains in the bath tub that I couldn't wash off. There were also some stains on some (not all) of the towels we were given, two out of four.  I believe we could have exchanged them for cleaner ones, but thankfully we went with ours, so didn't bother.

That said, we did like some features of the room. The beds (a double and a single) were comfortable and pleasant to sleep in, the lights worked, shower and water worked fine. The room had a nice wardrobe with an ironing stand+iron. 

My oldest son who is 11 wasn't particularly thrilled, but for the price and short duration of our trip, I thought it was alright. It probably should be called a guest house rather a hotel. 

In this season of Covid, where the hospitality industry has been badly affected, I must commend the staff for staying open and offering very cheap rates. I really hope they can make the necessary improvement to attract more guests. 
Best wishes OYO Brentwood Aberdeen!

Very helpful staff, cheap and cherry place worth the price.

Booked in and managed to get a space in the hotel car park- there are only about 20 spaces for 50 plus rooms ! The room was quite small but clean and well equipped. There is no restaurant or bar in the hotel as they are currently closed. Had a bit of an issue as my key was not opening the door properly and on Saturday I accidentally left my key in my room. The hotels master key wouldn’t open my door either so they had to call out a locksmith. This was sorted by the staff quite quickly though. Good value hotel but a little dated. A little bit of money spent on the place would go a long way

Average

I've stayed in the Brentwood  many time over the years and it was a nice place to stay and not to expensive. However since OYO is running the hotel things have gone downhill. When we checked in we were sent next door to what was another adjoining hotel formerly the Highland Hotel they seem to be running both hotels as one. The room was dated and could have done with redecoration but it was clean. The bed was comfortable but the duvet was very thin so it was quite cold and the room was cold. The shower was OK but the extractor fan was noisy.  On the plus side the hotel is within easy walking distance on the main shopping street and the shopping centres and a short distance along the road there is a small shop that stays open late and you can buy sandwiches/snacks and get something for breakfast as there are no meals available in the hotel.

Cheap but if you can afford it would be better to pay a bit more for a better room in a better hotel.

Made a reservation over a month ago for night of 3rd December. Booking confirmed by last-minute.com, arrived at Hotel, no room reservation. Hotel has allocated all rooms to Home Office Asylum Seekers. No warning given by hotel or booking site.

Avoid like the plague

If you are reading this review you will already have ready all the other poor reviews....other guests are not lying!  This hotel is absolutely shocking, filthy beyond belief.  Such a disappointment.

This hotel is a very well known hotel for people from the Northern Isles.  This is not the hotel I remember.  It is the Brentwood hotel plus the Highland guest house next door merged together under the new owners OYO.  Staff are not friendly, absolutely nothing explained to us upon checking we were told to "go to the building next door"  This instantly got me concerned as this was the old Highland guest house.  We entered the family room, which looked nothing like the pictures online.  

The bin had not been emptied, there were hairs all through the bed clothes which had obviously not been changed.  The piech of material that hotels place at the bottom of their beds for decoration was covered in someone's blood.   We were so tired from the boat journey to Aberdeen and angry that we had faced up to that we just dumped our bags and left the room to go shopping and tried to not think about it because it was only for one night.

The next morning however when we tried to have a shower in the again dirty bathroom which had absolutely no soap for washing your hands with, there was no hot water after running the shower for a few minutes.  A call was made to reception about the issue I was told that this is normal and the water would turn hot after a few minutes, after 8 minutes the water was barely warm.  We couldn't wait to leave, a massive disappointment from what used to be a fantastic hotel........Never again!!!!

Absolutely Shocking.  Do not stay!

Best thing about this hotel is the check in. 
Toilet had urine in it already,making me doubt that it had been cleaned. Shower never had hot water but the bath did strangely. Not too bad, nothing you can't deal with. Until you see the broken bathroom light ,damp roof, and shoddy repairs to the toilet.
Also had dried in vomit on the carpet and various make up stains /lipstick and very dusty and scruffy. Couldn't wait to leave. Have emailed them and messaged the number provided, with no response, so left a review through the booking app I used,which has been deleted. And for almost £60 pounds a night, it's was ridiculous.

Filthy and unhygenic

Husband booked 3 rooms for a family get together. My poor family who arrived before us were horrified. The rooms were not together, in fact further apart would have been impossible. One was an attic room that only a 5 foot dwarf could stand up in, no heat and no water. The other warmer but in the same vein. Our "luxury" room was cleanest, but with blood on the bathroom walls and bedroom ceiling. The halllways smelt varyingly of vomit and damp. 
The staff were genuinely friendly & helpful. The owners should be banned from advertising this as anything else than a dosshouse.

Friendly staff, uninhabitable filth

Checked in with overwhelming stench of damp only positive has a car park frantically looking for somewhere to stay should have read the reviews a major mistake. Been staying in Aberdeen for years stayed hear lots of times while on business but made a massive mistake coming back.

Long established hotel not fit for inhabitance

Me, my heavily pregnant partner and my two very young boys (3 and 1) turned up after a drive from Inverness.

Firstly it took an age to get checked in, the receptionist was nice as a person but she couldn't work the door lock to get into the other side of the building locking her and us outside at 10pm in the pouring rain. She had to phone a GUESTS room to come let us in, not once but this happened twice! 
I felt sorry for the GUEST (but thanks for saving us)

The Hotel was appalling, the reception looks great, the photos of the rooms look fantastic but we didn't get what we booked. We wanted a luxury room with a place to sit with two king beds and got mushed into a twin double room that was smaller than what we wanted.

The bathroom was nice and clean but the shower screen kep moving so I turned the bathroom into a small snorkelling site unintentionally.

The actually room and amenities: Well, here lies the problems.
There was broken glass on the bed and broken beside lights still in the sockets, almost electrocuting my child when i tried to switch it on not noticing. The child safety tie on the windows to stop it from opening was snapped and the frayed metal was left attached to the window sill. It didn't fee COVID safe at all as there were bags and other items left in the room from previous guests.

There was a fantastic water feature in the hallway unintentionally of course as it's was a severe leaky roof! with rain water literally pouring down it. the carpets were boggy, there we pulling apart causing trip hazards.

Overall a very very poor experience!

Easily the worst hotel in Aberdeen

Basically if you are a old shuffling alcoholic or a teen / mid 20s that can't afford anywhere els this place is for you. I travel for a living and iv seen every hotel from supreme to bad, but the Brentwood in Aberdeen is on another level. The kind of hotel I checked out at 7am rather than be there any longer.... McDonalds on a Sunday was more inviting than my drab, dark room. 
shower : no pressure / absolutely no heat
windows: opened but had 4 seagulls trying to get in as they where trapped in a small court yard so had to sleep in blistering heat
walls: supper thin, I head a man vomit in the hallway at 5am, I had to step over it to leave. when leaving I brought it up with reception and they just laughed. 
security: overnight there is one receptionist that docent care and my door got tried twice during the night. 
just don't go! spend that extra £20 / £30 and sleep in a clean and safe environment. 

also the receptionist wanted us to pay in cash or transfer the money into a random personal account or our rooms would be cancelled. we should have seen that massive red flag from the get go
