Centrally located. Close to both bus and train station. Most Edfringe venues are within a 20min walk. Staff kindly facilitated a move to the sister hotel The Albany as there was a noise issue in the booked room. The staff at the albany were great and many thanks to the gentleman who helped with the move. Would def recommend.
It's not really a hotel, it's more of a room rental in Edinburgh (the hotel has no amenities whatsoever, which is fine, though just a heads up). The price was insane though that clearly just had to do with it being Fringe. The person at the front was always kind. Quiet neighborhood.
I booked 2 separate consecutive one nightâs stays. Night 1 was excellent with a nice room but a long walk up 4 or 5 floors (without an elevator). Night two was a trip down 2 floors underground and I encountered dust and various flying insects ⊠not a pleasing room. The rooms were functional and the entire place had new carpet. I didnât like being moved from the penthouse to the dungeon, but I did make 2 separate reservations and they must have run out of good rooms for my second night ⊠although I did request (twice) at check in to not be moved ⊠they just smiled and nodded ⊠and then ignored my request. In conclusion, I might stay here again but it would require me knowing what room Iâm getting and I donât think thatâs possible to know that in advance.
Other than the shower's water pressure being very low, everything was perfect. Good and clean room, comfortable bed, nice view (from fourth floor in my case), and St Andrew's Square with bus station (and Waverley train station shortly behind that) is right around the corner.
Very comfortable, spacious and modern room just a few blocks from restaurants, shops and the train. Easy check in and kind staff. Aside from having no lift (we were on the 3rd floor), it was perfect for our stay.
