As befits a high-flying business city, Aberdeen has a large choice of accommodation - much of it characterless and expensive. Many B&Bs and guest houses are strung along Bon Accord and Crown streets (served by buses #6 and #17 to and from Union Street) and the Great Western Road (buses #18, #19 and #24).
