Not a very friendly welcome and hotel in serious need of refurbishment. The toilet was inadequate (it was plugged into the wall and electric) and the shower head was fitted about 3 feet high, meaning difficult to wash face and hair. The bar was small and very expensive. Overall, I would avoid staying in Albert if on a trip to the Somme battlefields, the town has made limited effort to accommodate or make visitors welcome. I would recommend visiting the battlefields and then moving on to Ypres, which is an entirely different and welcoming experience.
