Bit of noise from the bar music but by 10pm it had been turned down a bit and then disappeared completely so no complaints on that score. Owner very helpful and friendly. Room amenities just a bed, one side table and lamp ( two would be better for a double bed) and some shelves. Plus aircon of course. It would be nice to have say a couple of glasses and some water I feel. But absolutely clean and value for money.

This is not a hotel, it is a hostel. The shared washrooms are not clean, the shower stalls are covered in mould above and below. We actually left the hotel because we felt so uncomfortable. The "front desk" is serving staff (not their fault), and it was on a busy Triva night so we were not able to speak to someone. We just wanted to get out. When I contacted TD about the issues they tried to contact the Hotel and they didn't answer it took multiple days to get an answer and the hotel did nothing, no refund. The room was very loud and we could hear multiple strange noises from our AC unit.

Room was clean and comfortable, amenities accessible and clean. My only issue is that I have mobility issues, and climbing several flights of stairs was very daunting. Perhaps some mention of this on the website might be helpful for similarly challenged people.

The shared bathroom facilities were totally inadequate. The toilet seat was broken and there was only one toilet. The doors are very noisy and hard to open and shut. Luckily the bed was comfortable. The staff were lovely but I would not recommend the Albion for a stay to anyone.

Stayed here for two nights and had a good experience. It's exactly what you'd expect for the price range. Clean enough. I think the bad reviews come from people not knowing what they're in for when staying above a pub. I recommend reading all the reviews to know exactly what you're in for, then there aren't any surprises (slight tobacco smell, noise from pub, loud old doors, shared bathrooms etc).

I enjoyed the modern room and big comfortable bed also being able to control the temperature in the room. I enjoy being able to come and go as i pleased as well. I didn’t like having to share a bathroom having to go through the pub to get to the accommodation stairs, there was no kitchen upstairs for tea and coffee etc… also there was no insulation from the noise downstairs in the pub. In the end though it suited my needs as i just needed a place to sleep for the night before travelling back home.
