Massive room! Even the bathroom was large with an immense soaking tub!! Claire was a wonderful welcoming presence and showed us to our room. Room and bath was clean and more than ample amounts of soap, shampoo and lotion. The whole place stood out as a perfect place next to DeafAction!!

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.

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.
