Cafe Bardot

Very poor service and bad quality for expensive price, would definetely recommend not to go. Toilets are bigger than the dancefloor...

Cafe Bardot

Worst pub in Aberdeen for me. The barmaid asked security people to get me out because I wanted a plastic straw (I'm not kidding, I wanted one for a magic trick)...
I hope that was not because I was the only foreigner in our group of people (which represented easily a third of the people in this shit hole). There's plenty of other good pubs anyway around!

New Look Retailers Ltd.

i give the stars for the clothes but these other reveiws are correct. there is a woman mayby in her thirties who is just so rude. she hasnt actually been rude to myself but i have heard her on three occasions talking rudely to customers. once she actually said F*** sake as she walked away from the customer. why on earth is she still in a job with the public?????

Odeon Aberdeen

Dear Odeon,

I went out last night with friends to see Ted. I'd not been to the cinema for a long time so I thought I'd treat myself and the fiancé to a film.
Firstly, £21 for 2 tickets and a medium 7UP! I don't know who you expect to get into your cinemas but they must have more money than sense as this is ludicrous. I could go onto Play or Amazon and buy myself about 12 DVD's for that price!

Secondly, the place was dead. I can only attribute this to your insane ticket prices. There were more staff than paying customers. "You'll have been served quickly then" you may ask. Well, no. There were 4 staff behind the counter, 2 of whom I can only assume we're there to play with a cloth and talk about pointless crap with their teenage colleagues whilst watching 4 people becoming more and more irate in the queue. Even more annoying was, despite the plethora of school-drop-out 'staff' that were milling about trying to look busy and achieving the square root of nothing, no-one came into our screen so we had to pull the doors shut ourselves. Trivial you may think but, hey, I shelled out £20 for the 'cinema experience' so I expect to actually get it.

Thirdly, I think it's ever so nice of Odeon to give their cinema goers 2 movies for the price of one because, whenever there was a part in Ted that has little or no dialogue, we were all treated to the wall shaking sound of Batman being played in the next screen but, come on, why not charge half as much and we could SEE both rather than watching one and hearing two.

Your little advert about piracy killing film was the final straw though. Between us in the group we paid you over £45 so four of us could get the 'cinema experience.' Considering the way the country is don't you think this is excessive? Especially when I could go out, by a DVD, buy a lot of 7UP, buy everyone food and have change for the same price, AND I could watch the DVD over and over to my hearts content. I know that I wouldn't get the whole 'experience' but I'm sure I could pay a spotty teenager to ignore me and leave my lounge door open so I at least feel little like I'm in an Odeon.

If you want to see more people in your cinemas and actually put a dent in film piracy you should really try and cut your prices, hire decent staff and forget the 600% profit margins on your food and drink.

You are putting plenty of nails into the cinema coffin Odeon. I won't be back in a hurry.

The Staging Post

I have horrible experience with this place. I paid for room for 2 on Tuesday evening so We should have a place to sleep till Tuesday morning next week but only in theory.
We work in Aberdeen but had a free weekend so we went home. When we came back turns out our stuff is in cold and stink caravan. Owner didn't pick up our calls. He wrote message we paid from Monday !?? till Sunday and he couldn't contact with us. We spoke throught the phone on Friday and Saturday but apparently it's not a contact for him.
It's cheap but if you want be sure your staff is in the same place you left it and you have a place to sleep, don't take it. We had to look for a room after 10h of work. it's not worth it.
BEWARE
pub doesn't look as good as they describe. you get for you pay. not family place

Philip King Tailoring Ltd.

The man that works in this shop is both rude and abnoxious. I ordered a tie from him and forgot to go and collect it while organising things for my wedding (I got another tie elsewhere). He called me and was extremely rude about it and hung up on me despite me apologising. I called him back and he continued to be rude. I would not advise anyone making dealings with this shop.

Homeguard Leasing Ltd.

I leased from these criminals as a student. Another family member and I spent an entire weekend cleaning and scrubbing my flat before I left. The place was gleaming. Homeguard claimed to have ordered a cleaning firm to clean the place after I left. This cost, suspiciously, the exact same amount as my deposit. This was not returned to me. I would encourage you not to lease with this company- you will not see your deposit again. If you are already in a contract, then I would encourage you to default from your last rent payment and ask that they keep the deposit to cover the last month.

New Look Retailers Ltd.

I agree with Jenny S. The place is run by a bunch of lovely young girls but the older - well wouldn't say she was older - older than the others though is obtuse and rude. I don't go somewhere to spend money then be treated like dirt. Wouldn't be so bad but she needs to tidy herself up.
