Alan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
