4/10 Poor

This is not a hotel nothing but beds and costs as much as a professional hotel sorry but never again
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Jihane, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was perfect for our one-night stay in Edinburgh. We easily walked to the Royal Mile and appreciated how spacious the room itself was. Would definitely stay here again!
Cassia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great character property steps away from the City Centre and Edinburgh Waverly Station. Friendly and helpful staff went out of their way to make my stay a pleasant one.

Beautiful room and amazing service
Izaak, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

In a quiet seemingly residential area but just a short walk from a busy intersection where one can pick up the tram to the airport! So, one can also get the tram FROM the airport and walk a short distance to the hotel.
Frances, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everything was ok
Walter, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

A really well done conversion into a hotel. The lobby was clean and modern the staff was reserved but friendly. Great touches, but a little impersonal.
Christopher, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very comfortable, with everything required for a weekend stay EXCEPT we would have liked a full length mirror in our room. The reception staff were lovely, & 1 gentleman in particular was extremely helpful, which we really appreciated.

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

Douglas, 2-night trip

8/10 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

8/10 Good

The aesthetic of the rooms was very nice. The property is odd in that it a conversion of several rowhouses, so you had to go up and down various stairs to access the rooms. My only complaint is the lack of amenities. There is no laundry service, no iron in the room, and the bathrooms are very tiny. I am over 6 ft. tall, and the sink was halfway up my thighs. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They will hold your room key (old fashioned solid metal key, and you had to manually lock your room door when you left for the day.
