Fabulous hotel and super friendly staff - room was lovely and big - and warm in winter. Right in the centre of town and within easy walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay again.
The space was very cozy and we loved that we had an exit in our room. Wish we could have experienced the breakfast but appreciated what could be accommodated. The staff was also lovely!
There is a chef to cook breakfasts from a surprisingly varied menu or to order. The food and staff are excellent. Location is extremely convenient with St Andrew University graduation ceremonies literally across the street. Grocery, pharmacy, excellent dining options, great pubs all within a three minute walk. Free parking on street, but these are likely to fill up during the working day very quickly. Spaces generally open up after 5pm. Will stay here the next time I'm in town.
Great stay at the Albany. Our room was big and very comfortable. The staff is super friendly. The WiFi could be a bit better though.

Not as good as I was expected. We went to to breakfast rom around 9am. It's a small room. The staff didn't clean up the the tables in time. No coffee mug and only small guice drink glass AIA can use. They didnt
Very comfortable and quiet ! We stayed in the Bunker room, and even with it off of the main lobby, it was a very peaceful night! Very centrally located, able to walk anywhere in Saint Andrews, and lots of parking available on the street!
We loved this hotel—it feels like stepping into another era. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore while still feeling tucked away. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A truly memorable experience!
Did not do my homework properly Just had new hip so stairs were way too much of a challenge .Room was far too small for getting around Again breakfast going down all them stairs was unsuitable. No handles in shower to hold on to and no shower mat. Disappointing stay
Would not return.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful! The hotel coud use a little rennovating- but it is in a perfect location and an affordable alternative to the more expensive golf related hotels. Breakfast is simple and pleasant- overall, very good value and would stay again.
A true find in St Andrews! Comfort and hospitality covered here, especially for travelers that have their clubs in tow. The garden space was a plus! Will look to visit here again.
