Review by hotel critic
During my recent corporate retreat at Buchan, I found it to be a practical choice for business travelers. The hotel provides essential amenities that cater to the needs of remote workers. The business center is well-equipped, offering a quiet space for meetings and work sessions. Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the premises allowed for uninterrupted connectivity. I appreciated the convenience of the on-site café, perfect for quick coffee breaks or casual discussions. The friendly staff were accommodating, addressing our needs promptly, including a minor check-in discrepancy. The bar/lounge area offered a relaxed space to unwind after a productive day, while the restaurant served a satisfying cooked breakfast that fueled our busy mornings. Although the room sizes were modest and the bathroom a bit cramped, the overall experience was convenient and comfortable, making it an appealing option for future business retreats in Ellon.
