I went to St. Andrews to visit my son who is a student there. The Albany is directly across from Younger Hall and a few paces from St. Salvator's Chapel and Quad. The room was not luxurious, but certainly comfortable. My room was at the front of the hotel at ground level, but to my surprise was quite quiet at... More

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

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

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.

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

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

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
