Lovely clean room, welcoming and helpful staff. Nice central location, close to bars and restaurants as well as the tram stop and just a stones throw from the train station. I’d definitely stay again!

This hotel is not suitable for people with mobility needs .Apparently there is a room with a walk in shower if avaliable .Slip baths for the bath have to be requested and no grab rails. We spoke to staff after having to be moved because of issues with the toilet and sink in our room and they were apologetic and helpful.

The hotel building is obviously old which is what I wanted, however the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. I don't like to complain especially while still at the location so now is my time. The bed runner was stained, they should throw it out. Additionally, I don't get my room cleaned/serviced every day at a hotel stay typically day 2/3. When I did get my room cleaned, it wasn't. They gave some new towels but did not change the bedding, did not clean the floors, toilet, or sink. Overall I would not stay here again. Location was great and the staff was okay.
Footprints (not mine) after they "cleaned" the room

Otele girdiğimiz ilk andan son ana kadar her şey dört dörtlüktü. Odalar tuvaletler temiz ve sorunsuz. İhtiyaç olabilecek her şey düşünülmüş. Konum olarak da gayet merkezi bir o kadar da sakin bir noktadaydı. Resepsiyonda ikram kısmı harikaydı. Uzun süredir para verdiğim bir hizmetin karşılığını bu kadar iyi almamıştım. Teşekkür ederiz.

Så bra service, tillmötesgående personal, rena och fina rum. Vi är mycket nöjda med hotellet. Vill tillägga att det var mycket bekvämt att boendet var så centralt allt var nära, shoppingcenter, sevärdheter, restauranger, bio och mer! Rekommenderar stort att boka på Albany! Det enda som jag tyckte var mindre bra var att det inte fanns hiss men annars var allt perfekt!

L'hôtel est idéalement situé à 10mn à pied du centre et à 2mn de la ligne de tram, mais dans une rue plutôt calme. La chambre était grande sauf la salle de bain qui était minuscule. Literie très confortable, il manque quelques équipements : coffre-fort, accroches au mur pour les serviettes. Possibilité de prendre le petit déjeuner dans un autre hôtel à 2mn à pied, nous avons testé une fois mais nous n'avons pas aimé ; il y a des options moins chères et bien meilleures à proximité de l'hôtel.
