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.

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

It is a wonderful place to stay. There is no elevator. The staff did carry my luggage up to the fourth floor, but obviously they do not carry it down when you check out (maybe if asked?) I found the old building wonderful, but this is not a typical hotel. It is a boutique hotel. It is very close to several places to eat or drink, but off the tourist/beaten path. It is still very walkable to so many tourist places though. Any walk in Edinburgh is hilly. Know you will be walking up & down wherever you stay. It was an easy (uphill) walk to Waverly Station. The room was large for UK standards for sure. I would stay here again, even though I wish breakfast were available.
