We had booked into the hotel specifically stating that we required a travel cot for our 10 month old baby. Indeed the cot was there when my husband checked us into the hotel earlier in the day, stating as he left that he would be returning with his family later. However upon the whole family's return to the room later... more

My family (husband and 2 kids) stayed here for two nights in the Garden Suite. Having also spent two nights in the Old Course Hotel, I found the stay in the Albany much more comfortable. There was lots of space and comfort for the 4 of us. The suite was bright, airy and spotlessly clean. The service at breakfast was... more

Thank you for your kind words. The Hotel is indeed always changing in order to meet guests needs. The Suite is newly refurbished, as are many of the other rooms in the hotel, as part of our ongoing refurbishment program. In the same way, the people who make up the team here change and we like to think the current...

Some people blow my mind. Why would you book one of the cheapest hotels in St. Andrews and expect the Ritz?? This place was small but quaint. We had the Den, which wouldn't be my pick for next time because of it's small size, but it was adequate. Others in our party had a twin room on the main floor... more

Thank you for your Hotel Review. All feedback is gratefully received and we assure you that every effort is made to make our guests stay as comfortable as possible. As you know, the hotel is a Georgian Townhouse, built 1795, so there are varied sizes of rooms within the property. Please ask reservations for guidance on room sizes.

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

Albany Hotel is well situated on North St in the heart of St. Andrews. The staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast (included) was delicious. The beds were a bit "lumpy" and the room small, but adequate for our needs. We found it quite highly priced by American standards for a hotel of this sort. We would consider staying... 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
