-very nicely located (centre/carlton hill/Castle is 10-12 min footwalk away) -clean rooms with very friendly service (young service personel) every day -more quiet than noisy (not much traffic outside but windows are a little too old to hold back the noise), had room on top level -breakfast very good (different sorts of cereals, juices, cheese, joghurts, with additional freshly made...

We had a massive room which was located downstairs (seem to remember it being room 105). We paid a little extra for a delux double and were definitely not disappointed. The room was huge with a massive comfy bed, and a comfortable seating area with a sofa and table. Good tea & coffee making facilities with variety of tea, coffee,... More

The hotel was very well located in the center of the city so you can walk easily to all the nice places. It had a very nice boutique style romantic atmosphere. The rooms are very nice decorated but the romantic style bed was awful to sleep in but nice to look at. Our bathroom was clean but very small for... More

Stayed for one night at the Ballantrae Albany as the weather for driving home was too bad. Glad we did, all in it cost only £70 for a double room including an excellent continental breakfast. The hotel is central but quiet, welcoming and cosy. I hate hotels that are standard boring and have no character...couldn't say that about this one.... More

I paid 100 euro a night for this hotel in august. Honestly I think that it is to much for what you get for this 3-star hotel. At first the room smelled: a combination of cleaningsmell and sweat. And the shower didn't work and took me one day (three times asking reception) before somebody came and fixed it. Bed are... More

It is such a shame that the hotel is a bit tired. Just a little bit of TLC it could be fabulous!! The 1st room I was offered was awful dark and depressing with the ceiling wall paper hanging off of the ceiling, the 2nd was identical but not quite so shabby (no paper hanging off the ceiling) the 3rd...

Fantastic location, room spacious and very quiet, restaurant menu average but the food is all fresh and delicious. The really stand out feature was the staff, at check in, during the day, and also in the middle of the night if you are suffering from jet lag.....Jim will make a great cup of coffee and have a chat. Overall excellent... More

Can't talk more highly about the bedrooms! Great space, great bed, bathroom was fantastic and very quiet. If you plan on staying in, then this is a good choice. Breakfast, well........done in the basement, not very bright. Overly stuffy, and the continental buffet looked like it was the 1960s. Hot cook breakfast was quick, but not great looking. Taste.....well, salt... More

The central location of this hotel is great and I had no issues with the cleanliness ot my room or the friendliness of the staff. The decor and lighting is very atmospheric but absolutely useless if you want to work or read so if you are on business and will want to work in your room - go elsewhere. (... More
