Leonardo Hotel Aberdeen
I had foolishly stayed at another establishment before but came back to Leonardos. It's nice and telaxing and i enjoyed a good dinner. Good access to the shopping centre and station. I was away too early for breakfast but I've had that before and there's a good choice. I'll be coming back again
