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.

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.

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

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.

This hotel has a very serious mouse problem. If you go there everyone will act surprised when you say you saw a mouse, but they've known for a long time they have this problem. They will not refund your money, I promise you this. They will see this review and they will say this is abnormal, but it's not. They will argue with you for hours about why you are wrong instead of just giving you your money back. And I stayed in three different rooms, the last one being the upgraded room they sent me to after my complaints, and in each room the toilet seat was near falling off. The third room didn't even have sheets on the bed. They threw everything they could at me in bribery and extras trying to get me to stay quiet about this. But all I wanted was my money back so I could move on. If they had just done that instead of wasting days of my trip, I would not bother to write this review. I'm sorry to the other Hotel staff members that were wonderful. This is the fault of leadership 100%.
