Good position but very noisy.
Reasonable hotel but no effective AC, cools if outside is above twenty. Not if the room temperature was, so very stuffy or with window open, very noisy!

The stay was good. The room was clean and the view of the harbour was nice. The lady checking us in was very helpful and nice, pointed us it the direction of the city centre and we had a good chat. The beds were a bit squeaky, but good. Only negative thing we have to say: the breakfast was a bit dull. The croissants and bread were stale and the "warm food" was lukewarm at best.

Basic accommodation staff disengaged
On arrival receptionist wasn’t very welcoming we arrived early when we did go back at the correct time there were more staff there but they seemed all occupied when we did get checked in he was polite we then put our bags in the room very small so went out for 40mins then decided to check back out again which receptionist once again wasn’t very helpful. Staff members let the hotel down.

Bathroom strange
Stayed one night at this hotel. The reception staff were lovely. The hotel was very clean. The room was small but functional.
The bathroom was very strange. It was extremely small. It was like a plastic cabin had been put in the corner of the room. However it was clean and the shower was powerful.

The Ibis is in a good city centre location next to an NCP car park. The rooms are basic but comfy, very clean with a comfy bed. Breakfast was the only disappointment with barely warm food, an over stood egg and no forks or spoons in the cutlery tray. I have stayed here before and will do again next time I visit Aberdeen.
