Detailed Reviews
What a treat to be able to enjoy a few days in Provincetown and a few nights at the Prince Albert! The location could not be better: you're rights smack-dab in the thick of things. And when you want to take a break from the strollers, the rooms are a delight. We had a ceiling fan, so we did not even need to turn on the air conditioning.
Breakfast is a treat as well: to be enjoyed in the dining room, out in the back patio, or in front with a view of the early risers. Staff communicated clearly from before arrival, and staff on-site were full of smiles and gleeful tidings.

This is the best place to be in Provincetown; it is one of the rare ones that has a terrasse where you can sit and meet great people. We go back every year and will continue to do so. If you look at the prices of other guest houses, you will find that Prince Albert Guest House is a good deal!

After having an unexpected/unplanned few days off together, my husband and I figured we’d make the quick trek to ptown to enjoy a long weekend. I saw online that PAGH had a few rooms open and with such short notice of wanting to check in the next day, I figured I’d give them a call. Upon calling, Paul the owner was so gracious and pleasant to talk to on the phone that we immediately booked a 2 night stay with our dog in Room 4.
Upon arrival, our keys were left in a convenient spot for us and we made our way upstairs to our room. The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The bathroom itself was nicely finished and with a large shower.
We had some unexpected GREAT weather which made the front yard/porch a great hangout spot at night with the fireplace lit and a glass of wine in hand.
We enjoyed our stay so much, we inquired about extending our visit by a day. Paul, was flexible with the schedule and made us feel welcomed. Although room servicing was not offered during the stay due to COVID, both Paul and the housekeeping staff inquired if we needed any fresh towels or toiletries for our visit.
Although we didn’t partake, breakfast was served individually and you had the option to preorder the night before or up-to the morning of. (Nice touch)
Overall we enjoyed our stay and were saddened to leave when we did. As frequent visitors to ptown, we have stayed at a lot of guest houses and although this was our first visit to Prince Albert, it definitely will not be our last!

Good location, but an owner with unacceptable aggressive behavior. The hotel is advertised as dog friendly. We booked a room and mentioned that we would travel with a dog. During our stay there were no issues. When we wanted to rebook they cancelled our booking and we asked why. The owner responded aggressively and said that we should have asked for a different room when travelling with a dog and he shouted and aggressively disconnected the call by saying that we can never book at this hotel again.

This place has seen much better days. Sadly it’s deteriorated. Absentee management runs the place remotely by cameras. No one is on site to welcome you or answer any questions. The house itself is run down and in disrepair. A local friend told me the property had been sold to new owners and current owners had really given up on maintenance and service to guests. You had to get your own towels and toiletries out of a messy storage area in the kitchen. The couches outside in front were stained and not maintained. The garden was half dead. Pain peeling on the building. Screens missing in windows. It was expensive and so not worth the money. I travel extensively and this was like a two star cheap motel if that. It the absentee innkeepers was what really made this a bad experience. Would jot stay there again.

Beautiful old Victorian on the west end of the strip. Most of the shops & restaurants are a quick walk down Commercial Street.
The rooms are very nicely decorated, with new modern bathrooms, Air conditioning systems, flatscreen TVs and refrigerators.
There is 15 minute parking in front of the building for unloading. You can reserve a parking spot 2 blocks away for your car. This is quite common since The old streets are so narrow and not designed for cars.
The Wi-Fi in the room and outside was fantastic. Never lost the connection once.
We got there a little late and Paul had our keys, check in information, and parking pass in a envelope for us. No issues.
They have a breakfast menu in your room that you fill out for the next morning. You can eat it in your room or out on the front patio with a sea view.
The rooms were surprisingly quiet. Usually old homes are loud and you can hear people walking and talking but this was whisper quiet.

Thank you for the kind words and through review. I am glad everything we are doing helped to make your visit special. We have done a fair amount of renovations in our first three years of owning the in. Ever chance we have gotten we have added sound proofing where ever possible. Add to that the great windows and it is very seldom that noise becomes an issue. We hope to see you again soon. Paul

We travel widely and seek out unique and luxurious experiences, and we found the Prince Albert Guest House to be a truly exceptional bed-and-breakfast in a town full of great options.
The innkeeper and owner, Paul, was gracious and thoughtful. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome from the reservation process through check out and departure. Thank you for the warm hospitality.
Located perfectly on Commercial Street, the inn is recently renovated with new bathrooms and furnishings, all highest quality.
Importantly, Paul maintains a meticulous standard of cleanliness, so important with the risk of COVID 19 infection so ubiquitous. It was a key factor in our decision. We heartily recommend this inn and will return.

The room was large and very clean. You have a menu in the room for breakfast that you put in dining room hutch after filling it out the night before. The food is ready at time you chose, mostly typical continental breakfast fare, as well as thick waffles.
We had toasted bagels, fresh strawberries, yogurt, orange juice and a carafe of coffee.
The ownwer/host Paul was very friendly and made suggestions for places to eat. We would definitely stay here again.

I recently stayed here and will absolutely stay again. Paul is very welcoming! The staff are super friendly and the breakfasts are great, just what I need to get me going in the morning. The location is perfect and you get a water view from several rooms as well as the front patio area. I look forward to my next stay!

This is a wonderful place. Good value for dollar which provided an excellent accommodation experience in the midst of the Covid business. The proprietor, Paul was a helpful and gracious host. The room was comfortable, clean,modern and well appointed. We came ashore from our boat having just made a rough and unpleasant crossing of the Gulf of Maine so the fluffy towels and crisp beadsheets were especially welcome. The breakfast was well done and ingenious in the face of Covid restrictions.
Given the opportunity we will definitely stay here again.

Thank you for taking the time to drop us your review. I am glad we were able to help you recover from the few rough days you had out to see. I hope the return trip was much better. I do not recall seeing and remnants of hurricanes in your path like on your trip down. Say hi to Nova Scotia for me and we look forward to seeing you again. Paul

Sorry for the late response. I did not see it earlier.
Only our rooms # 1, 2, 4 and 8 are pet friendly. There is a charge of $35 per day and we limit the pet to 1 dog. We have not really had a size limit, but I would think dogs over 60 or 70 lbs might find the rooms constricting.
