Absolutely fantastic hotel and staff.

The stay was excellent, the hotel location is great, next to all the key sites and near bus and trams so very convenient, also it’s just away from the main streets so very quiet. Great rooms, very spacious and the reception members are absolutely fantastic. Had great time.

I was not impressed with my stay. The hotel is expensive, but the quality does not match the price. The room was uncomfortably hot, and the sink was leaking, which made the experience even more disappointing. Overall, I do not feel the stay was worth the cost.

Nice stay

Late booking to this hotel. Not too far from city centre, 10-15 minute walk. Hotel is within a terrace of town houses, there were lots of staircases up and down to our room. Room was big with a big bathroom. Adequate amenities. We left a note for housekeeping regarding our preference for still not sparkling water which was heeded. They also left us plenty of milk. There is no dining facilities but there are plenty of options for breakfast locally as well as lunch/dinner. Great hotel to just drop your luggage and go & explore the city.

We stayed at the Albany for 5 nights. Beautiful room. Great neighborhood close to old town and new, trains and trams. If you need more water, towels, a sewing kit or iron they will supply it. Extra bonus tea and cookies in room everyday. I will stay here again.

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

Excellent 3 night stay, I will definitely be back. The hotel is perfectly situated. Very close to the tram line to the airport (5min walk) and maybe a 10min to Waverly train station, but it’s also on a very quiet street and very close to the Royal Mile and all the sights. I have nothing negative to say. The room was spacious, the bed and bathroom were very clean and comfortable and the staff was always helpful and friendly.

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
