Great review (of a hotel I didn't even realise existed!) Looked decent to me and great you got the chance to catch up with your son too :) Thanks for this Roger!
There’s the legend himself! I’d love if you two both done a video together like some sort of travel challenge or something… anyway sorry to but In but both of your guys content is really good!
Hi Roger..... you've made me think....RIGHT IM GOING THERE IN A FORTNIGHT..... WOW.....£95.00 .....Not only that..... the run to Aberdeen is so beautiful ....I remember when I was working up their 30 years ago. God how different it looks now esspecialy the station..... yes Roger..... I'm going there very soon thanks to you..... what a brilliant video as well as always..... cheers mate...... Richard Turnbull in Newcastle upon Tyne
Another amazing Hotel showcase of these iconic railway hotels from the Victorian period! Keep them coming Roger! I hope you can one day cover one of the London hotels in the future!
Thanks Jett! I have done The Lankmark Hotel in London which is one of the most opulent of the BTHs: ua-cam.com/video/i6ZhEncdDnQ/v-deo.htmlsi=2sldSZuqTMq_8J0N. I recorded this before I decided to do the series, so I don’t go on about the fact it’s a BTH. Hoping to do a few other London ones soon. 😀
Stayed there a couple of years ago when I went to Kirkwall from Aberdeen Airport. Going again in July & have booked a room at The Station Hotel again. Really friendly staff & would recommend to anyone going to Aberdeen.
Spent some nights there. It used to be a big place for offshore worked overnight accommodation in the day, it was a bit rough and neglected then. Happy times.
You missed a great opportunity to visit Fittie at down by the harbour and where you may have had the best of viewing the large vessel's entering and leaving the harbour. Next time.
I've stayed in that hotel once, loved it, usually when I'm in Aberdeen I walk from Union Square to Berryden Retail Park going via the street Marischal College it's a fair walk but worth it as you come back via George Street where there's a Sainsbury's to pick Lucozade and then head through the back door of the Bon Accord
Good video Roger of Aberdeen hotel/city centre. Great that able to meet up with son as well. It's been a long time since I've been in Aberdeen but would certainly stay there! Glasgow's still the one to beat! 😊 👍
My uncle learned his trade as a chief in the old British railway hotels up and down the country he said when going for a job it was always a big tick to have on your CV
My god that’s cheaper than Premier Inn and includes the breakfast, has to be said I am surprised about the hotel.. will be interesting to see what you think of Inverness station hotel. Next time your in Aberdeen head to Old Aberdeen, a lovely area to wander around which includes Seaton Park, St Machar Cathedral and Brig o Balgownie
Am watching this video with a glass of red wine myself .. Pinotage . £4.99 a bottle from Home Bargains 😂 Still can’t tell the difference between Merlot, Malbec and all the rest but hey ho.
I am very sorry to say that I was disappointed with this hotel. First off, the shower/bathroom having a stair in it was danger ( not clearly shown ) not to say not a disable friendly hotel. Most high priced hotel rooms have a bath tub not just a shower. It was a very dark hotel ( could have been camera lighting ) and I am not talking about the room with 5 windows. I would have loved to have seen the other hotel to compare, but I am guessing it is a better hotel.
@@RogEdwardsTV I feel so sad every time I walk pass the adelphi. What a magnificent architectural masterpiece ruined by incompetent and greedy company.
Absolutely a dump. I had to push past a big huddle of smokers just to get in the front door. The earplugs are for the noisy gulls and the junkies fighting outside. Wouldn't stay there again if it was free.

Cheers, Steve. Nearly followed your example and did a hangover video. Felt as rough as, on the way home next day. 😂
Always gets messy when those two go drinking together 😂 here’s a thought Steve, you should join them next time 😂. Mrs E

Thanks Richard. Definitely worth a wander around.

Another great video! The binge watching your videos that I was doing the other day has concluded! I’m on track now
Thanks very much Ryan! 😀

The staff were very good! Enjoy your next trip. 😀
Looks fantastic, I live just outside of Aberdeen and knew this existed but never imagined it would be as nice as this 👊🏻
It's well worth a look, even if it's just for a drink. Thanks for watching.
Spent some nights there. It used to be a big place for offshore worked overnight accommodation in the day, it was a bit rough and neglected then. Happy times.
I bet the hotel can tell some stories! 😀Thanks for watching.

Hey - great tip for next time. The weather was so bad when I was there - I’ll hopefully try on a sunnier day! Thanks for watching. 😀
Thanks for such a detailed video Roger. As with Steve Marsh I wasn't aware that Aberdeen had a station hotel !
Thank Alex. Really enjoyed this one. And I guess it shows not all BTHs were built on a huge scale. 😀

Sounds like a great walk around Aberdeen. Thanks so much. 😀
That stairway would make a great setting for a murder mystery
To be solved by a Belgium detective perhaps? 😂
I've only been to Aberdeen once in 2005. I travelled on LNER from Haymarket. I went to the Maritime Museum, Marischal College, Old Aberdeen etc
Great trip! 😀
I was up and down to Aberdeen quite a bit in 2005 as I worked for Cairn Group back then, you would have been on GNER at that time though not LNER.
Big fan of Aberdeen 👏🏻😎🏴🍻🥃
Cheers, thanks. 🙏🏻
Good video Roger of Aberdeen hotel/city centre. Great that able to meet up with son as well. It's been a long time since I've been in Aberdeen but would certainly stay there! Glasgow's still the one to beat! 😊 👍
Cheer Alan. Thanks for watching.
Looks good !!! another old BTH hotel !!! Hope you do them all ...To think they were very often the best hotel in town in most places !!!
3 down 35 to go! 😂 Thanks for watching.
My uncle learned his trade as a chief in the old British railway hotels up and down the country he said when going for a job it was always a big tick to have on your CV
Definitely a badge of hobour. bet he has some stories to tell! Thanks for watching.

I definitely need to have a better wander round when the weather’s better. Hope to visit the Inverness Hotel soon. 😀
Nice Magnum sweatshirt. 🎸🤘🥃
Thanks. It’s the Tony Clarkin tribute shirt! ☺️

Nice hotel better than the Newcastle one but a bit behind york and Glasgow.
Agreed. Thanks for watching! 😀
think theres one in Perth
Yes the Radisson Blu is a British Transport Hotel. At the moment they only allow a minimum booking of 3 nights which is why I’ve not been so far. 🥲
aberdeen is the granite city rog edwards tv
Yup! 👍
I stayed there twenty years ago, it was an absolute shithole, they must have spend millions on it since then…
…and the work continues it seems. Thanks for watching. 😀
@@RogEdwardsTVI stopped in there with the offshore crowd it was a shithole but it looks good now
I'm really glad that these beautiful buildings weren't acquired by Britannia and turned into another worst hotels of the UK.
A few of the BTHs are Britannia. The Adephi in Liverpool and The Midland in Bradford (I think). 😊

I've stayed in the Station Hotel twice, never again, the place is a dump.
Thanks for watching, Peter. 😀

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. 😀
