The Jays Guest House

The property is located just outside the city centre and easy to find. Self check-in was easy. The room was comfortable and ideal for an overnight stay in Aberdeen. The host was very friendly and welcoming. we would happily stay at this location again.

Very clean, lovely breakfast and friendly hosts.

Dear Jay and Anna thank you for the thoughtful birthday gift

Good location for traveling through Aberdeen, also for sightseeing. The hosts were great communicators and gave clear instructions for check in. Contacted us after check in to make sure everything was smooth. Breakfast was good, made to order and plentiful.

Bed was a little uncomfortable but fine for a night.

We had the best stay here just now. The location is perfect, bus right outside, walking distance to the University of Aberdeen and not too far to the city centre. The room was super cozy, big bathroom and window towards the backside, the living room is very comfy to relax in. The hosts are just lovely and very accommodating. I'd definitely stay here again.

Breakfast was OK though I would have liked a greater choice of fruit and hot options. I got used to the 1-mile walk to the city centre but would have liked decent eateries in the immediate area.

The nylon bedclothes and the uncoordinated decor. A beige overall look is warmer and more welcoming than grey.

I stayed here for the tall ship festival weekend. My room was clean and tasteful furnished. I liked the good lighting in the room. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The window was tight, no draft over night. I enjoyed the breakfast very much. Easy self check in. Good communication with the friendly hosts. I felt safe in a professional house. It’s not far from the city centre and close to the beach. Would stay here again.

So quiet and peaceful.

It was great just like when we stayed there two years ago.

Very well presented & very comfortable rooms, lovely large lounge & breakfast room complete with a variety of options for breakfast.

Nothing

This guest house has a lovely lounge with TV the bedrooms clean with TV its on a convenient and very regular bus route and has a car park.

Due to its location in the house the room was a bit dark, but lighting was good and plenty of electrical sockets for recharging gadgets. Gaurav was very friendly and welcoming. Useful having a car park.

Breakfast was fine but missed a traditional Scottish breakfast. Wasn't expecting a self-service key-box until we received the video and messages before we arrived. All went smoothly and Anna did text that everything was ok but we missed the personal welcome.

Only stayed one night on a room only basis. Host was kind and helpful.

Good sleep, clean bed.

Not worth what they are charging. Property in general not cared for Room we stayed in had separate bathroom, everything very dated. Carpets need changing, look clean but a bit smelly hidden by lots of air fresheners. Place was clean but needs revamp. Owners don’t like criticism and tell you you’re rude instead of ‘I’m sorry you’re not happy…. If booking try go booking without breakfast it’s the worst we had on our road trip and they couldn’t see why we weren’t impressed.

Great

Very, very caring, nice hosts. Cosy apartment. Enjoyed stay.

The couple who owned it were friendly. They let me pay for use of laundry facilities :

It was tied. Needed an update in decor and bathrooom facilities. Also get ride of rusty soap holders in en-suite and some mould.. Also should have towels changed daily. Breakfast needs to be more varied and served on hot plates.

The decoration is a bit old fashioned but very clean and tidy. There was a couple of issues for us the bed in the room was on wheels so kept moving away from head board and also if you tried to sit on it move towards bathroom. I would suggest the wheel betaken off as one could fall when it moves or a child hurt themself. The other issues we had I asked for a toilet roll for on suit in bedroom to be told by house keeper there whet no extra given. I don’t see toilet roll as an extra it’s something that should be replaced if there none left or when asked for. Also the cooked breakfast I feel let the b&b down as it consists of scrambled egg, beans, a hash brown and toast, that’s not a cooked breakfast to me or my partner we where expecting maybe bacon or sausage and tatty scone not hash brown. On are first day when we went down for breakfast we were offered it I said no as I would not eat it and was offered nothing else in its place. The owner messaged me to ask how my stay was I explain about bed and also asked if I could have a fried egg instead which she did say yes but I feel the house keeper who was there should have ask if I wonted something else, you could help yourself to toast and cereal but over all we where very disappointed with breakfast and that is something we looked forward to when we go away is a full cooked breakfast

Very comfortable and welcoming. Walking distance to a nice pub with good food and beer. The ensuite bathroom was huge and looked like it had been renovated recently.

The staff made every effort to ensure we had all we needed, to access the room and property, and know breakfast arrangements. The room was comfortable and had an en suite that was just what we needed. We were glad of the onsite parking.

The owners and accommodations couldn't impact this at all, but we had great difficulty getting a taxi into town from the property, and getting back from town, despite calling multiple taxi companies, all were extremely busy. After being stood up by 2 taxis on our return journey, we stood for an hour in a town queue taxi hub to get back. There were no ubers working in Aberdeen. You may wish to plan well ahead if you need support with travel getting into the town.

This is a gem of a place! Visiting Aberdeen to see friends (and also needed to work too) this guest house was simply perfect for me. Great points for a fantastic stay: Very easy to understand self check in - This is by video and detailed instructions so you can't go wrong and can check in to suit your travel arrangements. Very clean everywhere - room and bed super comfy, tea making facilities in the room. Parking available at the back of the building and also plenty on street too. This was perfect for me, I was given the back door key and was able to come and go that way when I parked up and take my dog in and out that way for walks. Make your own breakfast - is perfect. There is no waste this way, there's plenty of cereals, toast, pancakes and condiments. If you are wanting to have some of your own things or something cooked you can do that as there is a fully fitted and functioning kitchen. Just bring / buy your items and keep them in the fridge and cook as needed. You can have a takeaway delivered to the guest house (or bring it back) and are welcomed to eat in the kitchen and dining room using the crockery and facilities. They have a large lounge which has comfy chairs and music to delight too in the guise of LOADS of CD's - I sat in here during a couple of evenings and enjoyed playing some CD's while I was there. The guest house is within easy walking distance of the town and also the beach. There are also buses just along the road. The beach is really lovely and one day I walked from the guest house, through the interesting cemetery across the road, through the back streets into the town. Then around the docks areas, seeing the boats and ferries that take you to the Islands. Coming back we went via Fit Dee which is a fabulous time warped experience and came back along the coast to the guest house - couldn't be better for an urban walk !

Nothing Really apart from perhaps being able to stay a few days longer :) I did try to change my plans and stay a few days longer, but Jay's is very popular so it didn't work out for me this time !

Easy to park, easy access, clear instructions, very clean

The room was a bit cold and took some time to warm up

The guest house is tidy and the households are helpful and considerable.

Location was ideal, Level of communication and clarification on arrival and booking in was exceptional. Establishment was very clean and extremely happy with the stay. Would recommend and stay again at the establishment

No Biscuits in the room, ( that's being picky and light hearted comment ). Car park was a little tight for a larger vehicle, but managed to drive in and reverse out of the car park.

Very clean and comfortable, detailed information provided for self check-in, fully equipped communal kitchen. Very convenient location for the university and Old Aberdeen. Parking.

A bit pricey for a guesthouse, but very good value for money.

Lovely room, comfy bed, warm shower & good wifi. Both Gaurav and Anna were so kind. Easy check in instructions. The location was perfect, the parking was great and generally the place was very homely with a nice lounge and eating area. Breakfast was enough too. Hosts were considerate and approachable throughout. 10/10 for sure.

Nothing.

The room was cosy and well equipped with tea, coffee, biscuits, hair dryer plenty of towels and soap etc. also local information folder. Self service breakfast with no time limits suited us very well. Communication excellent.

Not much to dislike, however, in our room the en-suite shower was quite small okay for us but would not suit a large person! Would have liked orange juice at breakfast!

Home-like atmosphere, with great hosts and cleanliness.

Price Room s comfortable.

Too fat from TECA Aberdeen maps still confuse old and new conference centre.

Breakfast. U had access to the kitchen and breakfast food. Lounge was excellent with Netflix tv available. On a bus route to town centre (10 minutes away).

The only thing missing was a tv in our room but didn’t prevent us enjoying the guest house. Usually have it on before going to bed re film etc but not a big deal
