“The Albany - What a cozy little hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

Got to The Albany late on April 23, 2012 with a bad cold and no sleep from a 12 hour plane ride. The night front desk person, Gail, immediately sent me to my room to get some rest. I had a single small cozy attic room with a view of St. Andrews University and a warm shower. The next morning... More

“Good night's sleep, awful shower”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012 NEW

The Albany hotel is a pretty good "Value" hotel in st-andrews, with quirky staff, and clean comfortable rooms. The single room (8) I stayed in was a litle on the wee side, but I was more than comfortable. The only bad things I could say are there was no trouser press for my suit, as a business traveller, this is... More

Thank you for your review. We are very sorry that the facilities did not meet your expectations and we are looking into this now to ensure that the shower problem is rectified and there are no further issues. We are sorry about the trouser press - most of our rooms no longer have a press as we now offer guests... More

“My stay at Albany, St. Andrews.”

The room was extremely clean and very cozy. I loved every bit of it. The staff at the reception always smiled and was more than ready to help with all my queries. The breakfast was great. Wish I could stay longer. Will come bask soon. More

“Wedding April 2012”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

We got married in St Andrews at the end of April and all the wedding party stayed at the Albany. We were looking for a small hotel that is reasonably priced and it fitted the bill exactly. We cannot praise the service they provided highly enough. From the first time we visited, as potential guests, the staff did all they... More

“Wendy B”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

The Albany is located in a central but quiet part of St Andrews. Restaurants, the Byre Theatre and shops are all within a few minutes walk. Being an old Georgian building there are the usual creaking floorboards. All the staff were friendly and helpful. An excellent breakfast was served in the garden restaurant (only open for breakfast) - plenty of... More

“Sound base for St Andrews”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

The Albany is more like a superior B & B than a hotel, but it is clean, pleasant and ideally located in a quiet but central area of town. We had the excellent garden suite, which gave us an adjoining bedroom to our two children, who slept in a large lounge/bedroom. There is indeed access to a small, pleasant garden,... More

Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your time in The Garden Suite, yes it is ideally suited to families and there is plenty of space for children! Unfortunately, after trying to bleed the radiators several times we eventually had to call out a plumber as the problem was beyond our control to fix. We apologise for... More

“Never Again!”

The night I stayed was a bad day for the housekeeper! The first room they gave me hadn't been cleaned and and the second room I got hadn't been cleaned either. I was assured it would be done on my return. 2 hours later when I returned the room had been cleaned but beds not stripped.They moved me again! I... More

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, on the day of your stay we were trialling a new housekeeper so the rooms were not up to their usual high standards. When made aware of the problem, our head housekeeper came immediately to clean the rooms in question. Although this unfortunate situation should never have occurred, our staff did their best to...
