    Unique and charming decor, beautiful and historic building, excellent value for money

    Issues with shower water pressure could use immediate attention!!! Lack of a lift makes carrying luggage a hassle, especially for those not fit enough to tackle the stairs!!!

    great location
    friendly staff
    comfy room
    small shower
    tricky faucets

    the albyn townhouse is totally amazing! the location is quiet but super close to cute cafes n shops. our superior suite was just like a fairytale, with a comfy big bed and the shower was nice with good eco-friendly stuff. breakfast was more than enough n the staff, especially lydie, are so friendly n helpful. really made us feel at home!

    honestly, can't think of much. only wish the showers were a bit bigger, and the faucets were a little tricky.

    Warm hospitality set the tone for an enjoyable stay, with a perfectly clean room offering a stunning view of a historic landmark. Breakfast was a delightful experience, featuring a varied menu where the Scottish breakfast was cooked to perfection. The location is ideal, nestled in a quiet neighborhood yet close to an array of restaurants and shops. A gated carpark was conveniently available for a small fee, allowing us to explore the area without worrying about our vehicle.

    Couple’s Cozy Getaway

    From the moment we walked in, Lydie made us feel like royalty—she even carried our luggage to our room! The breakfast options were amazing. I mean, who doesn't love pancakes with homemade jams to start their day, right?

    It wasn’t exactly budget-friendly, but it felt worth every penny.

    I appreciated the beautiful Victorian architecture and charming decor throughout Albyn Townhouse. The common areas were welcoming and accessible, making my stay very comfortable. The staff were attentive and ensured all my needs were met.

    A lift would be beneficial for seniors.
