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.

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.

Comfortable room but wet bathroom

The room and bedding are comfortable and good in general. The bathroom however is a bit messy when the shower wets the floor. Also not enough hook in bathroom. Also no view in the basement room.

Schönes Hotel

Das Hotel liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstrasse. Zu Fuss ist alles gut erreichbar. Das Personal ist freundlich und immer gut gelaunt. Bei meinem zweiten Aufenthalt in Edinburgh bin ich wieder ins Albany.

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.

Cosy et charmant

Hôtel avec beaucoup de cachet et chambre aménagée avec goût, charme de l'ancien et équipement moderne. Quartier calme à deux pas des restaurants et bars, idéalement situé.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
