Great stay! clean, lovely room well remodled in a classic building on a quiet, lovely street, centrally located. One drawback of the old charming building is that there's no elevator, so if you have top floor room be prepared to walk some stairs.

My room needed a little love (showing some age). I put a towel at the base of the unit door to block hallway noise from early risers | loud talkers in hallway (worked). Hot water took awhile on one of the mornings. Staff are top drawer. Blinds kept the light out = good sleep. No complaints really. Would stay again due to location alone.

Lovely feel to the building and rooms. I wanted quiet and convenient and got both. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. When traveling away from home, it can be lonely and strange. Not so at the Albany. Thanks to you.

Our hotel room was huge, with 20 foot ceilings, big windows and a very large bathroom with a shower and separate soaker tub. The property was close to pubs restaurants and the royal mile and castle. Staff was friendly and the room was clean with complimentary water. We loved the hotel and would stay again
