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

Yujingwen, 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.
2-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.
4-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 The only comment I would make was it seemed a little outdated, the lamp was flickering and one of the towels had a small hole.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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
