“Very good - but not completely 100% correct description”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2009
2
people found this review helpful

I stayed here for 2 nights and was very much impressed. The building is beautiful. And because it is a converted old building it is a little bit noisy but that was mainly inconsiderate drunk people wanting to shout at each other whilst walking to their rooms.

The only gripe I have is; there was no wi-fi available and the SKY package was not a 'complete entertainment package' as there was no football and no movies.

However, the beds and sofa were very comfortable. Lovely pillows. Easy to heat, clean towels etc. The guy on reception very friendly.

I would definitely stay here again.

“Poor customer service and attention to detail let the Albany down”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2008

The Albany is an impressive building. However we had some issues. Firstly the car parking was not made available on our arrival resulting in the car being left in the street. I had an hour of hassle with the concierge the next day to get access because no-one from L3 was responding to phone calls. The accomodation we had was ostentatious but lacked basics (like comfortable living room seating, dining table and chairs, a bin in the kitchen area, microwave) which I would expect given its billing as luxury accomodation. One of the beds was a 'put-you-up' type which had a broken slat and was very uncomfortable. There were other niggles like light bulbs missing and the curtains in one bedroom had been pulled down making sleep difficult due to the security lighting outside.
I was told that the extra fees charged for the late book in and car parking would be deducted from the final bill as compensation. I was still charged some of these fees however and 2 weeks later L3 have still not responded to say what they are going to do about this.
I would not reccomend it. For the prices charged there were too many niggles and issues. The customer service from L3 was very poor.

“Nice modern flat . . . but not perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2008
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights with our 1 year son and overall it was a good experience and very good value for money.

We had one of the 3 bedroom penthouses and while it's nothing amazing we and found it to be a modern and spacious flat and nicer than staying in a hotel. The location is good (10-15min walk to the main tourist spots) and the building feels secure and well maintained although it’s very empty - seems like most of the other flats are unoccupied.

On the negative side the plants in the flat were dead and the car park was 'out of order'. Although the owners removed the cost of car-parking from our bill we still had to pay to park our car at the NCP round the corner, which was expensive. Also I couldn't get the internet to work on my laptop.

Overall four stars
