Reviews of Albany Hotel 2 stars

It was cheap.

The hotel smelt of smoke and alcohol apon arrival, then we were escorted to our room, the hotel appeared super outdated, alot of stuff was broken, including the bed we slept in, the bathrooms were mouldy, it has perminant residents who spent the night on the phone until 1am screaming and shouting, lots of banging and also smoking cannibis inside their room, we ended up calling the manager around 130am. The overall stay was terrible, never again! Duvets and pillows were stained and discoloured.

Staff was quick to respond to requests and very helpful when one of the family members was ill.

While in a great location, the rooms themselves are a little old.

Was clean, good location, nice, helpfull owner, he gave us a fan and let to leave luggage in the building before and after check-in

Building is old and unrenovated, people walking and talking in the building disturbed our sleep, was hot and stuffy in a room, you can't open a window for the night because there were only a balcony doors opening onto the street

I loved it It was everything I could Wish for: good location and cheap! And you get what you pay for... That is what every person with a brain should understand. The Bed was a death trap. Room old and dirty. But: cheap and Good location was what I wanted and Thats what I got. Stayed 2 nights.

You must check in before 23.30, or they charge 20 GBP extra. Was a bit stressful for me.

Was waiting outside of the hotel for less than an hour, before we were finally let in. Eventually we were let in, we told him the name the booking was under and he said there were no more double rooms. So we were taken to a room with 2 twin beds where we had to join the beds together, which was quite inconvenient. The bathroom was shared per floor and it was clean for the most part except the uncleaned skid marks in the toilet.

Clean beds and towels, great location, helpful stuff.

Location is great, check in was super easy - we got pre-checked in and got our luggage early, which was later sent to our room when it was ready. Communication was easy.

Have in consideration the building is old, so there are some things that can be really changed without a serious reconstruction (to be fair, based on comments of other reviews). There are wooden floors and old style walls that are wavy and cranky. Others could use some quick upgrade - especially replacing stuff that is broken, fixing tiles, walls, etc. If you just want a central place to sleep, you can't really beat this place for the price, though.

The staff were very friendly from the get go. The beds were also incredibly comfortable.

The shared bathroom, the mouldy wall at the end of the bed and the decor was quite outdated and in poor state of repair.

Location was nice

The room was too small. I haf to share a bathroom with other guests This review states it was for 2 nights. This is not correct. This was for one night. I had a previous booking for 5 nights. Because if this error in the booking dates, I was charged for two nights. Therefore, I was charged twice for the night if 7-30 25. I would appreciate it if you viator would check into this. Also, I would take this hotel off your list of hotels for london. it is not a good hotel. Have your people been to the Albany Hotel to inspect it there carpets in the steps are thread bare on the edges. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone,!!

The only thing I liked was the location very close to subway or tube stations

The room was very small. I had to go downstairs to a shared bathroom. This was not mention in the viator website when I booked the tour. The staff did not provide clean towels and additional soap for the one bathroom we used. He told us to use a different bathroom. VIATOR HAVE YOU VISITED THIS PLACE?? I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU CAN OUT IT ON YOUR WEBSITE AS A RESPECTABLE HOTEL IN LONDON. FINALLY, I BOOKED 5 ROOMS FURST IN MARCH 2025. THE PRICE WAS APPROXIMATELY 530 POUNDS. THEN I BOOKED A. ADDITIONAL ROOM ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER. I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT ABOUT GIR THE BOOKING. BUT I FIGURED UT WAS AROUND THE SAME PRICE PER NIGHT AT AROUND 106 POUNDS. WELL ANY WAY, VIATOR SENT ME TEXTS THAT THE PRICE FOR THE ADDITIONAL ONE NIGHT BOOKING WAS 238 POUNDS OR $300. I WAS SHOCKED AT THIS. THIS HOTEL IS NOT WIRTH 60 POUNDS AFTER STAYING HERE. I CHECKED THE WEBSITE ON VIATOR FOR A NIGHT AT THIS HOTEL AND THE PRICE WAS 77 POUNDS FOR THEIR SMALL ROOM AND $107 POUNDS FIR THEIR DELUXE FAMILY ROOM. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE PRICING OF THIS ROOM FOR HGE ADDITIONAL BOOKING. I WILL BE CHALLENGING THE PAYMENT FOR THIS HOTEL IN MY VISA CARD WHEN I GET HOME FOR THE 238 POUNDS I WAS CHARGED.

Excellent location close to three stations, restaurants shops etc , nice staff, very good price , clean and nice bathrooms. Very easy to commute and I saved a lot of money. I’ll definitely book it again whenever I come to London.

Nothing

Nothing, everything was under par

The carpets were in extremely poor condition, the bathroom was unhygienic, and the bed and linens were not suitable for use in any reputable hotel. It's difficult to understand how a place like this receives approval from the relevant authorities. Unfortunately, I must say this establishment is not fit to accommodate guests.

Location was excellent

Very basic facilities for the price - but everything in England is expensive.

Honest

The door locks
