“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

I stayed at the Jays on two occasions in February/March 2013 as I had important job interviews which were being held nearby. It was recommended to me by a friend. Its central location meant that getting to and from places in Aberdeen was easy. There is a small Tesco 2 minutes down the road, a good pub serving well priced... More

Thanks you George and Alice for such a wonderful stay. My very elderly mother ( 93) stayed much of the time in her room but had a pleasant view, flat screen TV, comfy chair and a nice chat with the cleaner while we got on with what we had to do in Aberdeen. There is close proximity to the city... More

I stayed two nights, no fuss, or drama. A clean, friendly and well run guest house. Comfortable bed, free internet, great shower and a breakfast that will leave you not needing a lunch. A small Tesco’s 2 minutes easy walk away, a few pubs around and an Indian take-away 3 minutes up the road……… Only one small niggle, No hot... More

Hi Thank you for the review of your stay at The Jays Guest House and that you enjoyed the facilities and breakfast provided. We do not allow hot food in our bedrooms, because before long the aroma of stale food, would soon permeate the whole house. We do of course allow any other food or beverages to be consumed within...

“Stay in Jays Guesthouse, whilst on visit to Robert Gordon Uni.”

I stayed in The Jays Guesthouse while I was in Aberdeen for a university interview. I was made very welcome after a long journey and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. There is a bus stop close by, and the bus only takes a few minutes to get into city centre. The room was comfortable and cosy and the breakfast ext morning... More

“visiting Aberdeen and its University”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 February 2013

Excellent service and a very homely feeling in the Guesthouse. Personal service excellent when I forgot to take breakfast in time, due to a wonderful walk at the seaside! The location is perfect: very close to the campus, to the seaside - in short: the beste in Aberdeen! Hans Schaeffer

“Excellent Hosts, and good location to Uni”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2013

If you don't already know, Aberdeen is a city where finding accommodation is a major undertaking at the best of times, booking a B&B even month or more in advance is impossible, and where an non-prebooked taxi between 4-8 is a miracle - all these things thanks to the booming oil & gas industry, and its annual swelling student population...

Hi Lillia Thank you for taking the time to give us a review, but I feel I have to reply to some of your observations. The Jays is our HOME and as such is decorated to our tastes. We have attempted to create a homely atmosphere and not a sterile one that is sometimes present in other establishments that try... More

I believe I got the last available bed in Aberdeen (due to a cancellation) but luck was with me on that day. The welcome I received from George and Alice was outstanding. The Scottish media want to have a look at The Jays Guest House before they print their negative remarks. The Jays Guest House is homely and spotlessly clean,... More
