May I recommend my hairy friend try Bimini Guest House (www.bimini.co.uk) which is approx. 5 min walk to the Beach Ballroom and which has single rooms for £25-£37, B&B. (5% discount for booking on-line :D )

Just tried to post and got booted out for some reason, so will try to rewrite what I'd already written.

Worth trying http://www.visitscotland.com/accommodation/?view=Standard
It's the Tourist Board's official website. The Bimini Guest House has a link to that page too. There are three B&Bs on King Street on the same stretch, 10 mins on foot from Union Street and 5 mins on foot from Old Aberdeen/University (depending on which way you walk from the Beach Ballroom they are 10 to 15 mins on foot). The Jays, Lillian Cottage and Campbells are the ones I was referring to. My parents stayed in The Jays and said that it was nice and fresh inside, but the walls in the extension at the back were a bit thin.

There is the Aberdeen City Centre Premier Lodge on West North Street and it's even closer than the B&Bs I mentioned.

www.hotelconnexions.co.uk is good for the more luxurious end of the market if you want that sometime. Used it myself in conjunction with a Times newspaper offer. They've got more hotels in Scotland as they are based in Dunblane. Don't think they've got anything as close as the ones mentioned already on offer just now though, and they base offers on 2 sharing.

Hope you get fixed up OK and have a fun night! Going before I get booted out again.
