Room quiet away from street noise. Lovely sunny garden. Hotel let down by reception staff (poor welcome, offhand, rude). Unpleasant odour in bedroom. Would not recommend unless no other accommodation available in the town. Overpriced for accommodation and service offered. more

We stayed at the hotel for a wedding we were attending in town. It was an average stay at best. The breakfast was nice and the staff was pleasant. The room was tiny and stunk of smoke, even though this hotel is non smoking. The bed was a very small double bed ad my partner and I had a horrendous... more

You cant get away from the size of the room, (very Small) however very clean. Only the bare essentials aswell, you would expect a bit more not only from a hotel in the centre of St Andrews but a room which reflects the price. The staff were all very good, On arrival we were told the service times of the... more

The hotel itself was nice enough, a good central location with spacious rooms. It was very over priced though, £100 for B&B was a bit of a rip off. We were also very disappointed to find out that they stopped serving breakfast at 9.15am on a Sunday which we felt was far too early for a weekend. more

We booked this hotel at short notice not knowing the town very well. We were more than pleasantly surprised by the location and charm of the georgian building with a lot of original features still intact. Friendly service and fantastic breakfasts. Our room was not the biggest we have stayed in but was more than adequate, I guess thats because... more

Unfortunately this hotel is similar to many St Andrews hotels, namely overpriced. Such was the demand for hotel rooms for the weekend in question, we were unable to book anywhere else. The Albany is essentally a guest house and a relatively poor one at that. Our room was reasonably spacious, but the standard of decor was poor. Breakfast was quite... more

I recently visited St Andrews for a friend's wedding. Due to the high number of weddings taking place that weekend, the start of the 'tourist' golf season and an R&A dinner, hotel rooms were in short supply. After eleven calls resulting in "sorry we are full", I reserved a room for myself and my girlfriend at the Albany Hotel somewhat... more

Whilst the welcome was friendly and the service good, this was a disappointing experience. The hotel is well situated but has no parking and was unable to give clear information as to where to obtain vouchers. (Why not have a book of them to sell to guests as needed?) The bedroom was very small with inadequate space to keep our... more

We stayed one night at the Albany Hotel at the end of August. The standard room cost us 90 pounds and was tiny. and poorly furnished. Starting with the door which stuck, and had to be banged closed, then the tiny bathroom, and climbing around the foot of the bed to reach the otherside and hitting one's head on the... more

I was pleased with our accommodations @ the Albany. It was within walking distance of all St. Andrews' attractions. The room (the Bunker) was small but functional and comfortable despite the size. The bathroom was large which was nice. Regulating the temperature in the shower was difficult at times. The breakfast was wonderful with very friendly wait staff. The lounge... more
