Ok, the location is fine. But... don't stay at this place! There were bed bugs in our room! And instead of removing the matrasses, they only used an obscure spray to desinfect the matrass...

I just stayed there and ended up with a bad rash! My friends and I thought it was bed bugs, but apparently there is a good chance it is scabies! The owner attempted to make up for it by giving us lots of wine. In addition, you only get one towel per your stay, and they do not clean your... More

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

I STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND IT!!! I just spent a week there and I am totally not satisfied. 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
