We stayed for 2 days in May this year. The first room we had was very small but after a word with reception we were soon moved to a better room with no problems at all. Room was clean and comfortable. The heat worked wonderfully - just turn up the radiators as we had one very wet cold day that... More

decent spot for short stay, rooms not bad but have a lot more potential if decorated better. at the price its good and well located for Edinburgh with Princes street, the castle and shops etc just a short walk away. parking at the rear, found location of our room a bit noisey with corridor traffic but would stay there again

6 ladies booked in late Friday, surprised that we got rooms with doublebeds as we had reserved two beds. The hotel did its best and we got two blankets for every room insted of one, and we were satisfied. Not quite clean, somewhat dusty all over, and the shower was not functioning very well. The rooms needed new carpets....., but... More

We stayed here for one night over the busy Easter period. The location of the hotel is great as its located centrally and we found free parking right outside the hotel after 6.30 sat and all day Sunday (charges apply weekdays) As we entered the hotel it there was a slight ashy, smoky, fishy damp smell. The reception was dark... More

We stayed here for two nights over the bank holiday in April, when we checked in just after 2pm our room was not ready (apparently fully booked the night before) so they moved us to a different room, the bathroom was so tiny you could hardly move in it with only a shower and no bath. Our room was without... More

Looking back over the reviews, I don't remember why I choose this hotel. The room and bath were large and clean, but new carpets and better linens are sorely needed. The only friendly and helpful staff were the breakfast crew - very efficient and nice. That's about all I can say that is favorable. The weather was freezing outside and... More

Upon arriving at the hotel..the receptionist set the tone for my entire stay. She appeared a little annoyed by my arrival and used such a monotone reply for everything...not a great first impression. I must stress, I had a single room which was ok, nothing more or less, but certainly not four stars..also lacking any type of literature about the... More

I had one night in the single room recently and I was very disappointed. The service was nice but the room which I get was so noisy during a night from the outside traffic and I could not sleep. The shower glass wall in bathroom was unstable and opened widely so whole water was dropped on the floor during a... More

It is 5 years since I last stayed here - then (I think) the hotel was under private ownership and really delightful. Sadly that is no longer the case - corporate ownership has not enhanced the Albany. My dinner was disappointing, the service slow and even surly. I had no expectations for a good breakfast, and I was right. Everything... More
