I'm afraid to say that The Albany is a wannabe "hotel" that is quite inaccurately represented on it's own website, and most sites I could find. Basically, it's a glorified hostel that just about makes it as a low grade motel. Hotel?? No way... They impose quite ridiculous conditions for booking cancellations, and this speaks volumes... is it because so... more

To call this a hotel is a shame. It is a roadside motel at best that offers nothing but headaches! Rooms overlook the parking lot with outdoor catwalks, and the rooms themselves are smelly, dirty and unsafe. Its debatable whats thinner the sheets or the walls. On top of that, everyday we came back to our room to find our... more

Where do I begin? I'd booked the Penthouse 2 bedroom room for my boyfriend and best friend and also cajoled a couple that we know to also book a room, to spend 3 nights in Melbourne over new year's eve. Should I begin with perhaps with walking into our 2 bedroom "Penthouse" room to find that it was musty and... more

Before you book this Hotel in warmer seasons, ask for a room that not only has an air conditioner, but also one that works. We booked a "Superior" room, the air conditioning was on it's coolest settings, but it did not cool the room, and it was cooler outside. We had to leave the door open at nights, only for... more

I would say this hotel is only good for sleeping. However, both my husband and I did not have any 'major unhapiness' staying at this place. I guess our 'tolerance leve' is pretty high. The price is pretty cheap for this place. Let's break it down: Pros: - I find the location pretty good - The bed and pillows were... more

Stayed in a mansion room for a 1 night getaway with my mum. Room was nice, high ceilings and polished floorboards. Bathroom was a bit old and small, but beds were very comfortable. Free newspaper and breakfast included was a bonus, along with the free bottle of wine. Overall a pleasant experience, but definitely stay in a mansion room! more

well, where can i start. this place is absolute crap!i stayed there once and never again. of course its dead cheap!! No one would ever book it otherwise!!!! This place is a dump from when you first step foot in to the moment you step out. the rooms are really bad, i wonder how can this place still be open......... more

I paid $85/night for 2 nights via wotif.com, which seemed like a great deal for a 'four star' hotel with free continental breakfast and bottle of wine. However, while I can't deny the price was right, I was pretty disappointed by the general quality. My room was pretty sad - old carpet, dirty white face brick formed a lot of... more

Booked in for one night on Wot.if - mansion room - which looked okay on the internet. Upon arrival I found it very spooky walking along the black corridors lined with full height mirrors. 2 x 1.5 meter gilt framed mirror faced you as you got to the end of the corridor. Weird. The mansion room was supposed to be... more
