Our main concern at the Ballantrae and Albany Hotels is the wellbeing of guests and staff. We have worked carefully to apply the Government safety guidelines, and have developed and implemented our own protocol going above and beyond what is required at both hotels to ensure that all possible Health and Safety aspects are fully covered.

We look forward to welcoming you here soon. In the heart of the city centre, The Albany Hotel is by far the most unique 4 star luxury hotel in Edinburgh and it comes with a sterling reputation among regular visitors and those who enjoy an occasional holiday in Edinburgh. This beautiful hotel that has guests raving consists of four listed town houses, which feature stunning rooms reflective of the history and beauty of the building.

Extremely disappointed to the hotel. We have to cancel our trip due to Corona virus. Only this hotel is not willing to have full refund. Voucher is the only option they provide. To be honest, I don't know if I can travel to Scotland before the voucher deadline.
Don't choose this hotel if you can!!

Just adorable! Downtown but away from loudness. Quaint town homes comforted into rooms. Incredibly kind staff.. there is no elevator but the heritage is key.. a great deal as well.. felt like home

Staff were (mainly) nice. Great location. Very clean. BUT:
Blind was broken and wasn't fixed until now. Was a really uncomfortable feeling because my neighbours from the other side were able to look inside my room. I was able to turn every bar individually a little bit but always had to climb up to desk to do that. That shouldn't be the standard of a four star hotel.
Another room was offered the first night (Thursday) when I reported it. I didn't take the offer because it was ensured that it will be fixed the next day (still isn't - Monday) after that no discount or room change was offered even

Lovely hotel, not too far from main attractions. Rooms were big and clean, en-suite bathroom was also clean. Would definitely stay here again. Breakfast was continental so we ended up going out as we prefer a cooked breakfast but it wouldn't put me off returning.

I love that place! The service is the best in the world, the rooms very spacious, the bathroom was huge and everything was super clean. The only thing I would improve a little bit is light in bathrooms. It is too dark there and doing makeup may be a little bit challenging.
Next time in Edinburgh, I will definitely want to stay in this hotel!

We stayed in the honeymoon suite, after getting a free upgrade upon checking in. It is incredible. The staff are so friendly, the room is so large, and so clean and comfortable. The bed is huge, the bath is almost as big, as is the shower. I can’t wait to stay again! Superb value!

The rather sprawling hotel was nice, with a clean, comfortable room and a great shower. The service was good and while the breakfast was continental only, it was really tasty. Overall, I thought it was good value for money and would happily return.

This was our second stay in about 18 months. Rooms are large and comfortable. Staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast is continental style but good choice. The hotel is really convenient for York Place tram stop. Attractions are easily accessible. To note that the building is quite old so quite quirky. I think four old houses knocked into one hotel. Lots of stairs.
