Positive Reviews

Comfy, clean rooms.
Guests say that the beds are very comfy, so you should get a
good night's sleep without any aches and pains. The rooms are also kept clean
and fresh, according to guests, so it's an all-round pleasant atmosphere which
should be very adequate for a short stay.
positive:
Tea and coffee in the room.
The tea and coffee making facilities are appreciated by
guests and add a homely touch to the room - and there's nothing better than
pouring yourself a hot cuppa after a long journey, or waking yourself up with a
coffee in the morning.
positive:
Good location and parking.
Guests rate the location of Banks of Ury, since it's in the
centre of Inverurie, close to its shops and restaurants. You can walk there
from the station if you come by train, while if you're driving, there's free
onsite parking, which is a real bonus.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Minimal service.
The service is fairly minimal at this hotel, which is a pub
with rooms, so you might have to fend for yourself, even sorting out your own
check -in. Guests say that staff are only around for a few hours of the day,
and sometimes the room keys are just left behind the bar for you to pick up.
negative:
Noisy traffic.
Some guests say that it can be noisy at night, due to
passing traffic along the main road. Some rooms seem to be worse affected than
others, but it's probably worth taking some earplugs just in case you end up
with a road-facing room.
negative:
Overpriced.
You might not feel that Banks of Ury offers great value for money, since some guests say that it's overpriced for what you get. All in all, it seems to be a relatively comfortable, but pretty basic, stay which just doesn't justify the cost.
