My room was a single and was small but very comfortable. It was generally clean, although the shower cubicle wasn't brilliant.... More

My husband and I had a very relaxing three days at Chy-An-Albany. Even though we had a room on the third floor, this was not a problem as there was a lift. Staff were very helpful and friendly especially the young waiters who greeted us at breakfast every morning. The hotel has lovely views, average sized rooms, a good selection... More

Had a very enjoyable 3 days stay at this hotel where all the staff were first class and helpful in every way.The best part of this hotel is the Lighthouse bistro where the food is outstanding and the waitresses led by Sarah attend to you with a smile on their face.A great place to eat.
