“Albany Hotel struck me as a particularly solid choice, especially given its location that balances a quiet setting with superb access to the city center via bus or the nearby tram to the airport. The rooms are more than adequate, and the consistently positive mentions of cleanliness and the helpfulness of the staff, especially regarding luggage, stand out. For a no-frills but reliably comfortable stay in Edinburgh, it's a smart pick.”
