We had a lovely stay at The Albany Hotel where we stayed while we visited St. Andrew’s University with my daughter. It was super convenient with feee parking right in front of the hotel. The room was very charming and the breakfast was excellent. I would definitely return.

When life requires a Uni visit for your child
Like a giant hug, felt like a home away from home when the purpose of the trip was for an emergency for my son, a student at St Andrew's. They were so understanding and accommodating making that part of the trip zero worry.
