Matheo, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 hotel

We loved our stay here. My daughter and I were both very comfortable in the beds. The bathroom was pretty and it was nice to take a bath. We thought the location was fantastic. Check in was easy and the lady helping was was very kind and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Give it a try!

The Albany Hotel is charming, centrally located, clean with a friendly staff. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in exploring Edinburgh. It was a lovely room on a quiet street in an ideal loocation.
Max, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved that it was in a great location, both close to the airport tram and the city center. Staff was friendly and helpful with luggage.
Jerry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very poor WiFi (basement room, 106) and mobile reception. Reception required £100 pre-authorisation deposit not stated in booking terms. No bedside light - up spots above bed, felt a bit harsh. Otherwise room tidy, warm and quiet so “ok” as I got a low ish rate.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable and friendly hotel on a great location

Great location in a quiet street but close to everything you may need. The staff were very friendly and the room comfortable. I was delighted to have a bath but there was no plug! Eventually one was found for our third night. Breakfast supplies in the reception area was a nice touch. A great stay overall.
Judy, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

I can’t wrap my head around how this hotel has four stars. The condition of the bathroom in our room was poor. The toilet and other fixtures were wobbly, and there was built-up grime throughout the shower. The sink didn’t drain properly. This isn’t a housekeeping issu, this bathroom clearly needed a deep cleaning and a renovation. It feels misleading for this hotel to be marketed as clean.
Aynur, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very understated but very good quality accommodation and great value compared to other hotels in Edinburgh

Great old victorian house.
Miriam, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff, convenient location. No food but tea, coffee and snacks available and plenty of places to eat close by. Rooms were much larger than expected.
Clare, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Trrry, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was good.
TAIRA, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice area in New Town and hotel is great - our room was in the basement though which was not obvious when we made the booking
Thomas, 1-night trip

Quiet, very spacious accommodation. No breakfast service but not a problem given the location.
