We had two family rooms ,one was on the fourth floor and the other was in the basement.You have to climb narrow stairs so its difficult if you have any large luggage.Both rooms had a bad smell,and the shower room was so small the wash basin had to be located in the bedroom.The Continental Breakfast was the worst hotel breakfast that we have ever had. None of the staff were very good with speaking English.The only good thing is that the room had been decorated but it did not stop the bad smell.

My mother, my sister and I stayed in the Albion Hotel during the last two weeks in December. Upon Arrival we were told that a laptop computer had been stolen from a room and that a report had been filed with police. When we arrived a few hours later there was a posted reward for anyone who had information regarding the theft. The next two nights we stayed were uninterrupted, and we assumed that things had quieted down.We left the hotel one evening and arrived several hours later. When we returned we quickly noticed that things had been rifled through. Our suitcases were searched to the bottoms. A digital camera was stolen, along with two cellphones. 80$ were stolen as well as all three passports, two ID'S and a driver's license. We first reported to the receptionist, then the police. The receptionist informed us that the surveillance camera in front of the hotel was inoperable, and had been prior to the first robberies. Conveniently, the hard drive containing the video had become corrupted as well. Anyway, I am just freely expressing my experience. Aside from this unfortunate event, the hotel is very comfortable and hospitable for the value of a London Hotel. I don't discourage staying there in any way. Cheers.
