We stayed at the Albany Suite for two nights and we loved it very much. The view from the balcony (and the bedroom) is breathtaking and it has to be seen to be fully appreciated. It is far better than any photos.
The bathroom is huge and the disco down lights in the jacuzzi area are a nice addition. We all liked them, but my 9 year old son loved them so much that we had them on all the time.
Both the living room and the bedroom are large and beautifully decorated. The living room has frescos in the ceiling.
Breakfast is served in a beautiful lobby.
Parking is outside of the old city walls and it’s free. When you first arrive, I recommend parking in the hotel designated area outside the city walls (drive there as per their instructions), leaving the large luggage in the boot and then walking to the hotel to check in. It is much easier than trying to find the hotel while driving. When we checked in, we got a permit to drive through the old city and a map, and we drove to the hotel with no problem. On the way back to the car find and remember the position of the parking spots that are located on the street prior to reaching the hotel. Then, when driving with your luggage to the hotel you see that they are free, park there and take the luggage up the street. All streets are one way only, so if you pass the hotel and the short term parking spots are occupied, you will have to do another round around the town.
The minibar is free.
One thing we didn’t like was that the cleaning staff threw away our favourite plastic water bottles, which were drying to be used for the next refill. The same happened to the 50 ml bottle of their body milk which we hardly used and wanted to keep. It’s not a big deal, but the water bottles traveled to many hotels and no other cleaner thought them to be rubbish. Regarding the body milk, our experience is that an extra bottle is added without throwing away an almost full but open bottle.
