On a girls' shopping trip to London, my girlfriends and I stayed at the Albany, which at first we thought was, just okay. After being there a few days, we began experiencing some sort of rash, but didn't know what it was. Our skin continued get worse after returning home, and I went to my doctor to see what was... more

What a horrible experience for a female backpacker travelling alone. when i made my booking the gentlemen spelt my name incorrectly. So when i went to check in the lady on the desk couldn't find it. I was then yelled at for giving a false name. I was so shaken by this i went to my room and it was... more

I stayed at the albany twice. It is old and run down however you get what you pay for and we only paid about 10 pound per night. It is in a good location right near the underground and near lots of food places and supermarkets. Also there are ensuites in every dorm so you don't have to go treking... more

Was on looking at hotels in london and came across the albany hotel. Stayed there in april 1998. Not a good place to stay. We were on a budget but it was not that cheap...six nights 850.00 u.s. Anyway the place was not worth it at all. Would have left if i could have afforded to. The hotel was recently... more

The location is quite good, and it is true that it's close to the tube station, but it is not at all "above average" as stated on this page ********. A friend of mine recommended me to go there because he went there... more

I'm planning a trip to London. After searching through the internet for a hostel to sleep in, I made a booking online because the prices seemed reasonable and Albany's location was quite convenient for us. Afterwards, I had a problem with my credit card because the web site I made the booking through, mistook my personal data. They told me... more

We booked there through the Internet. Because our flight was one of those cheap ones that land in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere - we called before to make sure - and they told us that everything was OK. We arrived there at 2 am (night). The receptionist told us that they didn't get any... more

Called Hotel to obtain information. The person I spoke with was very unhelpful, had to repeat myself 3 times. Asked for the managers name, told I cant give you this information. Asked to speak with them and was told they are not here. If they are this unhelpful on the phone then I would'nt stay here at all. more
