We loved our stay at the Albany Hotel! This was our second time in Edinburgh and we loved how the Albany was small and felt very homely, as opposed to some of the more commercial chains we have stayed at. The staff were great, the room was a great size, very clean, and the bathtub was a game changer after walking around in the cold all day! We will definitely be back to stay at the Albany again.

Had a pleasant night at the hotel, for a night at the Playhouse,which was very close, check in was quick and easy and the hostess was nice a friendly, room was clean and tidy and to a good standard, 2 minor niggles I had. £100 deposit was taken upon arrival which takes 4-5 business days to be put back in your account, parking outside the hotel is priced at £5 per hour if you can find a space

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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
