The Albany Hotel is a real gem

The Albany is a lovely traditional hotel close to the centre of Edinburgh. The room was great with all the modern amenities and very clean. I found the customer service excellent and the price was good. I would definitely stay here again
Ian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well located hotel with friendly and helpful staff. A little worn in places, but this doesn’t affect comfort. Useful to know that this hotel does not have lift access, and also doesn’t have a breakfast option.

Simon, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were so pleased with our stay! Will definitely be back. The service was fantastic, we were able to leave our bags for a few hours after checkout, and they were really polite. The bedroom was huge with a grand bed, gorgeous windows and a quaint bathroom to suit our needs. There was even a tea and coffee area. The only comment I would make was it seemed a little outdated, the lamp was flickering and one of the towels had a small hole. But it was extremely tidy and a comfortable stay. A good price too. Again, I definitely see myself coming back.
Katherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is excellent and the rooms are well designed and comfortable. The staff are very attentive. Due to the nature of the building, temperature was varied and the water pressure in the shower was less than ideal. Aside from this, it was a perfect hotel for what i needed.

Newly renovated, but still workout the glitches.

Nice enough, but wouldn't stay here again

This is a no-frills hotel and we were expecting more for the price. I should have read more closely. A 4 story hotel with no elevator. There is no AC (which I knew) but it was uncomfortable for a July stay. We had to sleep with the window open, and they did provide room fan. No elevator was a big bummer since we were on the 4th floor. Not being able to turn off the bathroom towel warmer only made the room warmer. Power outlets at each night stand had not been upgraded but they did have USB. I have a CPAP machine, so I needed real power. They did provide a power strip upon request, so I made it work. The shower water pressure was terrible. WiFi service was inconsistent. I had to switch to using personal hot spot
Dwight, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a wonderful place to stay. There is no elevator. The staff did carry my luggage up to the fourth floor, but obviously they do not carry it down when you check out (maybe if asked?) I found the old building wonderful, but this is not a typical hotel. It is a boutique hotel. It is very close to several places to eat or drink, but off the tourist/beaten path. It is still very walkable to so many tourist places though. Any walk in Edinburgh is hilly. Know you will be walking up & down wherever you stay. It was an easy (uphill) walk to Waverly Station. The room was large for UK standards for sure. I would stay here again, even though I wish breakfast were available.

Schönes Hotel

Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstrasse. Zu Fuss ist alles gut erreichbar. Das Personal ist freundlich und immer gut gelaunt. Bei meinem zweiten Aufenthalt in Edinburgh bin ich wieder ins Albany.

Flott beliggenhet, veldig sentralt og kort vei til det meste, allikevel var det stille og rolig. Nylig oppusset. Store og romslige rom med gode senger. Masse trapper uten heis. Serverer ikke frokost, det var et savn, men det er gode frokostmuligheter i nærheten.
