We had a lovely stay at The Albany Hotel where we stayed while we visited St. Andrew’s University with my daughter. It was super convenient with feee parking right in front of the hotel. The room was very charming and the breakfast was excellent. I would definitely return.

When life requires a Uni visit for your child

Like a giant hug, felt like a home away from home when the purpose of the trip was for an emergency for my son, a student at St Andrew's. They were so understanding and accommodating making that part of the trip zero worry.

Not great

Bedroom dreadful. (Rm 5) Shower very weak and Freezing to scalding in a tiny 1mm turn. Room size tiny. Mattress so old and uncomfortable. Furniture scruffy. Floor in bathroom lifting. Desperately needs renovation. Full Breakfast good. Unfortunately the receptionist on arrival seemed miserable and didn’t even say hello welcome us or smile just asked for credit card. Not a great experience for the amount charged.

Enjoyable weekend

Good stay right in the centre of St Andrew's. Quiet boutique hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast both mornings was excellent. Room was comfy albeit a bit small. Some of the furniture looked tired. The TV and WiFi signals were a little hit and miss at times. Overall a good stay and can't fault the staff.
