Albany was a good hotel. We stayed for one night and it was good for what it was. The place had seen better days, I want to believe that it was under revamp but I cannot confirm this. The staff at reception was lovely and check in was quick. Lots of stairs up to the room, we were the second floor. There was a lift but was unavailable. The structure of the building is quite old but it was unique. Parking out the back of the hotel was good but can be quite hard to find. When arriving at the room after a lot of stairs, we opened the door and were pleased to see a decent room. It wasn’t amazing but it was all the basic things you need. There was an unpleasant smell when we walked in. It appeared to come from the bathroom but after a while you don’t noice it and a bit of perfume did the job. Again, the room was very old looking but it was kinda quirky. When you first walk in there is a small hall with a large mirror/wardrobe then a bathroom and the master room. The bathroom was stocked with mini shampoos, body wash and soap as well as a hand towel and towels. We didn’t use the shower as didn’t need too but from looking at it, it was decent. Was a little grubby on the shower floor but other than that seemed okay. All in all was a functional bathroom, wasn’t a 5 star bathroom and like I said had the smell but did the job. The master room was spacious. The bed was super comfortable and had tea facilities and a TV. For what it is, it’s a little expensive but all in all did the job.
