Good hotel, few minor improvements needed
Unexpected last minute booking on the way to Hove. I chose to book the Albany due to the short distance between the train station and the beach and the reasonable price of around £100 for my young son and I. Upon arrival we were greeting with a very friendly face and shown to our room. I was told it was on the third floor which was fine and I think there was a lift (did not use as do not like lifts!) so the trek up the stairs and through about 3 doors was quite exhausting. However, we were happy with the room, one double bed and separate bathroom, which hosted a shower, sink and toilet. For what I paid for the room, I would not expect the Ritz but there was a lot to be desired, which in fairness could be quick fixes for the hotel. The blind did not stay up so I had to tie this down. Although tea/coffee making facilities were plentiful, there was no spoon to stir and I did not want to make the trip down the stairs just for this reason! The shower is a little dated and the head itself was very high up and in a set position so I could not point this down onto me so it took a little careful setting. The shower itself worked fine. The towels however were so small, luckily I had brought my own. The mattress of the double bed in room 318 could do with replacing. I had a terrible night's sleep because of the amount of springs digging into me. The cleanliness could have been improved. Otherwise, the room was quiet and dark. Overall I would rate this an acceptable stay.

Wouldn't stay again
Upon check in we were asked if there waa four people staying which we advised rhere was 3 (we booked for 3). We were told that the room we booked waa for 4 and asked if we would move to a room for 3 people. We explained that we deliberatly booked the room for 4 due ro the layout and the fact the 2 single beds were in a separate bedroom within the same room. The check in staff then stated he would need to speak to someone to check this was ok. We booked and paid for the larger room but we were being questioned about whether we could have the room we booked which was very rude. Anyway he came off the phone saying it was ok. Once in the room there was no remote for the TV so i went back to reception where he gave me one, it didn't work but my husband managed to use the buttons on the side of the tv so lefr it. Double bed is in a terrible state with the base being unstable and the mattress lumpy. Bathroom, green mould along the shower screen, broken toilet seat lid and generally dirty. Window in the smaller room wouldn't close at the top. Thankfully it was hot and the noise from the street didn't wake our 4 year old. There were clean towels, and the bedding wad clean. Usual supply of tea/coffee etc. Its a lovely sized room with the benefit of a second bedroom, however it is falling into disrepair, curtains were not even fully on the curtain rail,net curtains were dirty & stained. Its a shame as it was clearly once a lovely hotel. Only reason we stayed waa due to late check in

Lovey, helpful staff. Hotel room needs a deep clean, dust and peeled off paint on the curtains which all came down when drawing them. Fabric pealing off the head board. Mould in the bathroom. Broken drain on the bathrom floor which was dangerous. We are not fussy, so to put this review is unlike us. But was ultimately a place to put our heads down and sleep for a night so did the job but wouldnt want to be staying here for more than 1 night. Beds were confortable.

Albany was a good hotel. We stayed for one night and it was good for what it was. The place had seen better days, I want to believe that it was under revamp but I cannot confirm this. The staff at reception was lovely and check in was quick. Lots of stairs up to the room, we were the second floor. There was a lift but was unavailable. The structure of the building is quite old but it was unique. Parking out the back of the hotel was good but can be quite hard to find. When arriving at the room after a lot of stairs, we opened the door and were pleased to see a decent room. It wasn’t amazing but it was all the basic things you need. There was an unpleasant smell when we walked in. It appeared to come from the bathroom but after a while you don’t noice it and a bit of perfume did the job. Again, the room was very old looking but it was kinda quirky. When you first walk in there is a small hall with a large mirror/wardrobe then a bathroom and the master room. The bathroom was stocked with mini shampoos, body wash and soap as well as a hand towel and towels. We didn’t use the shower as didn’t need too but from looking at it, it was decent. Was a little grubby on the shower floor but other than that seemed okay. All in all was a functional bathroom, wasn’t a 5 star bathroom and like I said had the smell but did the job. The master room was spacious. The bed was super comfortable and had tea facilities and a TV. For what it is, it’s a little expensive but all in all did the job.

We were looking for a fairly cheap hotel for 1 night as we were going to the football. On arrival we saw the gentleman on the reception who was very helpful. No issue with any off the staff. The hotel unfortunately is in need of a makeover and was a little run down in areas. No least the bathroom and room in general. Didn't spoil our visit but needs a lot of updating.

Awful hotel - do no stay here . I can go into a million things - dirty , unfriendly etc …. They charged me £15 cash for parking and then had the cheek to ask me for another £10 on top because the hotel next door decided they wanted to get in on the action as well . Bunch of crooks - really don’t know how this hotel has stayed in business .

The room was large and clean. It would be better to have two pillows on the beds rather than one. A hair dryer and hangers in the wardrobes. The water could have been hotter in the shower. The staff were very pleasant.

The hotel is more like a hostel, and is manned by a couple of staff. Bed linen, duvet covers appear and felt unclean. Toilet floor tiles are sticky and the floor mat (towel) gets really dirty once put on the floor. I would not recommend this place, unless you are travelling alone and don't mind the above.
