A lovely little boutique hotel in a very convenient location. We were greeted with a smile and the staff was lovely throughout our stay. The bed was very comfortable and the room was stocked with instant coffee and tea. The breakfast service was excellent! There was a continental buffet of yogurt and pastries as well as a menu of hot made-to-order dishes.

Victor United States

An excellent breakfast followed a very good night's sleep in a first rate location.

Chris United Kingdom

comfortable, clean room and bathroom. The location was excellent, easy access to main attractions and restaurants.

Clare South Africa

Excellent choices at breakfast. Very pleasant lounge for our group to meet in.

Bracegirdle United Kingdom

Location was perfect. We didn’t have breakfast as we ate out instead. The rooms were excellent although the bed was a little firm for my liking but wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Dana United Kingdom

Very comfortable single room. Bar/sitting room a good spot for meeting up with friends. Breakfast was excellent.

Mary United Kingdom

Single room better than expected - plenty of space and quiet - overlooking the garden. Breakfast was excellent - good choice and smoked salmon omelette was amazing. Was meeting up with university friends (from 50 years ago!) and it was lovely to be able to use the lounge for a good chat.

Margaret United Kingdom

Great location to explore St Andrews and free parking right outside the hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfast was amazing! I would definitely stay at The Albany again.
