The hotel is lovely and has a wonderful history. The staff was friendly and helpful. Claire esp went above and beyond! Internet was spotty and inconsistent. The rooms were very warm and temp couldn't be adjusted easily. Location in New Town and near the tram made getting around very easy. Plenty of coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, and a mall nearby!

This hotel room went beyond my expectations, the room was very spacious and clean. The toilet was amazing including a bath and a shower which definitely made my stay even better. I was very impressed with the quality of the hotel for the price paid. It was only 10 mins walk from the train station. I will definitely recommend and I will be booking here soon again. Only thing to improve: there was no fridge and there was a missing piece in our toilet sink but none of this affected our stay

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.
