Albert Hotel

Beautiful location in Fredericksburg inside the new Albert Hotel. The space feels special and the bar is a highlight—Patrick, the bartender, was amazing: personable, attentive, and genuinely added to the evening. The rest of the wait staff was also friendly and welcoming. Where I think the restaurant is still finding its footing is the food and pacing. For the price point, the menu and execution need to rise to the level they seem to be aiming for. The wait for food was longer than expected, and the dessert arrived frozen, which was disappointing. If the goal is high-end dining, these details matter a lot. That said, it feels like they’re still working through the early “new restaurant” challenges. The front-of-house team is strong, and the setting is excellent. With some adjustments in the kitchen and more clarity about the style of restaurant they want to be, this place could really shine. I’ll definitely give it another try down the road to see how it evolves.

This place is posh! It’s extremely nice without feeling too exclusive. The staff is amazing. They are friendly and helpful and we felt very welcome. The room was beautiful. It was huge and very comfortable. It had a TV room off to the side and a little place in a window where you can lie back and read. The bed was big and soft. There was a nice minibar. The restaurant and bar were both excellent. We did not stay long enough to check everything out. Next time. Highly recommend.

We held our annual regional retreat at the Albert Hotel, and I'd have to say it was such an amazing experience! Not only were the staff incredibly helpful the whole time we were there, but the hotel itself is just beautiful, and everyone loved the personal touches to every room and how unique they were compared to other hotel rooms. Stephanie was dedicated to helping us with every detail, big and small, with our meeting and meals every day, and Rain made sure we had everything we need regarding our rooms and stay! The meeting space was gorgeous and versatile, and we had an amazing view of the history and beauty that brought the Albert to life. And right behind the hotel was Main St. so that was just another great plus to the whole trip! Great experience and great people!

We recently had a client wedding at The Albert Hotel, and I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. From start to finish, the team ran such a tight ship, it was truly flawless. The food and drinks were top-notch, and every single staff member went above and beyond to make sure the evening was seamless. I especially want to mention Carson and Stephanie, who were absolute stars. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and warmth made the experience unforgettable. They anticipated every need and made sure everything flowed perfectly so the couple and their guests could simply enjoy the celebration. If you’re looking for a place to get married that combines incredible service, beautiful ambiance, and a team that genuinely cares about your big day, The Albert Hotel is it. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning their wedding, you will be in the best hands.

Editing my review to add that my Google name is my maiden name. I booked under my married name - we most certainly had reservations - for 2 rooms. Our experience ended before it could begin. I’d seen the Albert Hotel online and was excited to stay. We booked several weeks in advance for our stop on the way back home from Big Bend. We have a 2 month old baby and had already been traveling for 5+ hours and were ready to get stopped, let her out of the car seat for a bit, and be able to feed/change her before dinner. Check in is advertised as 3pm online and in our pre-check in email. We arrived at 4pm and our rooms were not ready. The receptionist couldn’t give us an estimate of how long it would take for them to be ready. We waited until 5pm and checked back in with the receptionist. She still did not have an estimated time our rooms would be ready. We were already 2 hours past the advertised check in time. The only thing we were offered is a free round of drinks at the bar - I don’t drink currently as I’m breastfeeding my daughter. My mother doesn’t drink either so 2/4 don’t benefit from this offer - we’d expect a discount on the stay or comped valet parked at the least. We also planned to go to dinner at 5:30 which we’d most likely be late for at this point. We felt uninformed and kept in limbo while waiting around with no idea when our rooms would be available. The excuse was that the weekend was very busy. There were several other families waiting for rooms as well - not just us. This is a high end hotel - you can’t turn rooms over between the 11am check out and 3pm check in on a busy weekend? It’s the only hotel of its kind in downtown Fredericksburg. This should be a normal occurrence to get rooms turned over in time. We ultimately cancelled and left to go stay at a local Airbnb. When I asked if we could cancel the answer was immediately “yes” - they didn’t even try to get us to stay which I find very odd. The whole experience was disappointing as we were looking forward to staying. We likely won’t try again in the future.

The hotel is very modern with a minimalist vibe which I like. The room however, takes the minimalist vibe to the extreme. Wish there was a full length mirror that was not inside of the wardrobe. The lighting is almost nonexistent so doing your makeup is quite difficult. The bed was very comfortable and the A/C worked very well. No issues with noise within the room but walking the hallways you can hear people in their room. I enjoyed sitting at the bar. They offer valet or you can do street parking for free. Please note they charge you $150/night for incidentals. You do get it back in the end if you don’t charge anything to your room but it’s still excessive for the location. I pay that for resorts in Vegas. The location you can’t beat. We were able to walk everywhere. Overall I would definitely stay again.

The Albert Hotel is a beautiful property with a great minimalist vibe, and the convenience of its location is truly what you’re paying for. We loved being able to walk the main strip and easily circle back to the hotel. That said, there are some quirks that make it feel like they’re still working out the kinks; our linens and towels had stains, several fixtures and wall plates were in need of repair, and the hotel seemed understaffed, which left us waiting a long time for food and bar service even with plenty of open tables. Overall, a fantastic concept in a perfect spot, but not without its rough edges.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Albert hotel From the super friendly And attentive valet, the beautiful aesthetic of the boutique hotel, the comfy and spacious rooms with personalized touches, The location being perfect for navigating Your walks down Main Street, The vineyards are close by there’s lots of shopping and there Is delicious barbecue literally steps at June bugs Which also does live music bands. We had a beautiful meal at Hill & Vine. Devon was our waiter and He is super cute! patient, attentive, friendly and we will definitely be going back for sure on our next visit. We also enjoyed visiting the Felt hat boutique. They have the cutest staff and hat selections. There are nice bars close by with good music and variety and overall the town was charming and we met mostly friendly faces.

Albert Hotel is the perfect place to stay in Fredericksburg, perfectly located in the heart of this charming town, has everything you want for a perfect getaway! They have valet (with a cost per night) , gorgeous Lobby and the staff is attentive. I really liked their bar, with excellent cocktails and the bar takes you to a patio that overlooks the pool. We did not enjoy the pool but it looked beautiful and great for a relaxing day. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay, loved the bath robes and the water pressure is the shower was excellent! Very comfortable beds with those pillows hat as soon as you lay down you just dream away. I really like the fact that through the back exit you get to Main Street and you have all the ships, restaurants and cute boutiques right there. Price is fair.

Stayed here with my husband and pup Tuesday-Thursday. It was our first time in Fredericksburg and staying at The Albert did not disappoint. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The Albert is in the perfect location, right off of Main Street close to shops and restaurants. Everything was amazing and if I'm being honest my only complaint is that the walls are a bit thin and it can be a little noisy at night. We most certainly will be back. Oh and don't forget to check out the pharmacy, the saloon, and the hotel bar. The pharmacy had great coffee and pastries, the saloon really does have some stroooong margaritas, and the hotel bar has some good whiskey.

Calling this a luxury hotel is a bit of a stretch. It's nice but it's not a luxury hotel. They definitely should take a look at the amenities and re-evaluate how they market themselves. It's more boutique and a 3-star than a 5-star hotel. The room is noisy. I could hear everything happening the hallways and noise from the kids in other rooms. Something has to be done about the thin walls and loud noise. What baffled me the most about my experience was that a housekeeper just walked into my room while I was sleeping. I was taking a nap before dinner and was awaken to someone opening my door for turndown service. This made me feel so uncomfortable and unsafe that someone just walked into my room. Please consider training your staff to only open rooms if guests have specifically indicated they want turndown service. On top of that, our keys didn't work so we had to come back down to front desk. I feel terrible for the front desk staff, as they were actually lovely and tried their best to be accommodating. There are unfinished parts to the room. Bathrooms tiles were a mess. It seems like the hotel was in a rush to open. Again, not horrible for a hotel but you cannot market this property as a luxury hotel. It's clear that the hotel has recently opened and is still working out kinks. The nightly rate definitely not worth the experience.

Very nice, contemporary hotel on Main street. Good location. The entrance is at the back of the hotel off of Austin street. We didn't stay here, just stopped in for a late evening drink. Beautiful lobby and bar area, which also serve as the entire sitting area for their restaurant (we'll try next visit?). My wife liked her dirty martini, and the blueberry mule I had was memorable and worthy of 5 stars. If you're looking for a nice, subdued bar for a drink, stop here.

My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend. The hotel is upscale but also welcoming. The staff were friendly and they seemed genuinely happy to help. The rooms were uniquely romantic with an antique green color scheme was a welcomed change from the contrasts of greys and whites most places have turned. The bathrooms and showers were spotless. The beds were extremely comfortable and we slept solid all night. Dinner was amazing! Breakfast at the historical Pharmacy was delish. I would recommend coffee in the rooms bc the service was busy when we tried to call it in. They have a complementary coffee area so my hubs did the honors while I got ready. The location is the best in Fredericksburg! You can step right out the back doors to Main Street and enjoy the town has to offer.

Stopped by the restaurant at the hotel on a Sunday afternoon. I was hungry for a steak dinner. Sat at the bar. The bartender was good, but the rib eye steak was horrible. It was cooked right, but just an awful piece of beef. And at $65 plus more for a side or two, I expected something of much higher quality. When asked about my meal, I described it as a $25 steak at Western Sizzler, and at least they would have included fries or a baked potato. I asked the bartender what I should have ordered and he whispered "nothing at this restaurant."

It's brand spanking new, so some little things that could use some attention. I'll get to that later. Checking in was a tad sporadic, due to wifi issues. Hey F-Burg has always had wifi issues. What was good is, the front staff were quite accommodating and handled the situation well. Plus, one of them had a little bitty bowtie on her fingernail. Right!? Totally cool. I ushered Suzie over to the bar to meet Patrick, "The German" bartender. Meanwhile, the computer was up and some chick cut in front of me. No worries. My turn, got the low down.. like 24hrs Coffee delivery to the room.. yup. In the old days, there were other things that one might do to stay up all night, but this was unique and extraordinary. Same with water service if I remember correctly. Checked in, they do take a credit card for incidentals, Ms cut in line, couldn't quite comprehend this. Front desk bow tie gurl, explained it very well. She must be in management, if not she should. I quickly got caught up, got the welcome spiel, bell boy (is that PC these days?) had our luggage and I slipped him a Hamilton and asked if he would deposit my luggage in our room while I got acquainted to the almost to good looking barkeep my spouse was swooning over. Yes sir, thank you sir was the response from said luggage assistant. Room, when we finally got there. Very nice. Larger than I expected. We were in a Springs King, overlooking the pool on the third floor. #339. Bathroom was well appointed, glass enclosed shower, towels and stuff. Stuff I don't like, not a hit on these guys, but lotion. All the friggin lotion. Whatever happened to a bar of soap? All these high class hotels want me to smell like George Michaels. Look it up. I don't want to use a wash cloth and wash my privates, it never ends well and I want to end up throwing said washcloth away. Not on top of my Charmin game I guess. Anyhow. The wonderful things about the decor is, modern chic, subtle. The bed, amazing. TV worked. There isn't not really a very comfortable place to sit and watch and see the TV, just a bench in front of the bed. Or, I guess you could actually be in bed. Perhaps you could pull out the TV and it's on a swivel mount? Maybe the luggage assistant would of pointed that out to me had I given him the time of day to go up to the room with him. That's on me. There was a safe, hidden in a bottom drawer. The usual expensive stoner snacks. Yes, I had the popcorn and trail mix. $30 bill there probs. There was a little fridge for vino/adult beverages all at convenient price-point. It fits a bottle of wine I didn't finish after an amazeball meal at The Restaurant. Btw, eat there. I wished there was an easier way to stream on the TV. I wish we didn't stay in a little late so our room wasn't serviced till late afternoon. I really wish that when the place was built some sound insulation was added between the walls. We had a gaggle next door and it got a tad loud, but it was tolerable. Didn't necessarily wake me up or perhaps it did. I fell back to sleep in my comfy bed. While we were waiting on our dinner that evening, we revisited Ze German at the bar. A strapping young man with a quick smile, deep blue eyes and the accent. He was boisterous, entertaining, witty, friendly, fit and made good drinks. He was a show man in command of his bar. Nothing wrong with that. The bar was a lively place on a Friday night and some good simple food options and the usual transient crowd, just with the current political environment, best to keep conversations with strangers, light. And I don't think he was a good businessman, Lubbock gurl. Two nights were a very nice respite from Austin. I enjoyed sitting in the lobby and reading some and enjoying getting over the hangover from the night before. Just me and the love of my life, chillin in a great space relaxing getting ready for our evening out. Everyone here is on the very nice side of things. Seems they really like their jobs and being there. Or they put out some really good ju ju. We will definitely be back. We may just be back to eat at The Restaurant and least we forget the huge Room Service breakfast. That ham/cheese thing pastry was epic.

Amazing stay! Beautiful clean rooms. Gorgeous hotel grounds. The food in the restaurant was AMAZING! It's different than their in-room dining, so I recommend eating down in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast if you can. The room service coffee was delicious and staff was very nice.

First, I have traveled throughout the world extensively and have worked in the hotel industry. So my expectations are not unreasonable. Especially since the hotel was being branded as a luxury venue. The hotel itself is beautiful and has some wonderful finishes. However, it has room for major improvement on the operations side. In my younger or previous life I was the Director of Operations/Guest Relations. The first face (lobby lizard) that every guest saw when they entered the hotel. It was the my role to inspect every room for each guests arrival. It was also my role to know EVERY GUEST with a reservation and what their needs/requests would be during their stay. I or my team was ALWAYS available should they have anything that needed addressed. I would walk the property with the GM, Engineering, Housekeeping, and F&B to ensure everything was perfect. It is my formative years that developed my love for travel. From the Omni Mandalay, NY Waldorf, The Churchill in London, or The Biltmore in Dubai your experience begins before your arrival. In my case, you missed the mark. Long before I EVER arrived. Schedule delays kept pushing things back, I that I understand. However opening before the room were ready, that's on you. For such a premiere property, housekeeping has a long was to go and it was painfully obvious that staffing was a problem throughout the hotel. I was twice told that the steaks were the best that I would find in Fredericksburg. I was very disappointed and the quality was definitely not what I expected for a property being branded as The Albert has been. I suggest you visit Webers in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Definitely not a 5 Star hotel, but the restaurant blows the Albert away. And honestly, Jacks steaks were better. While creating a hospitality experience team is not cheap, and requires the full support of the GM, it may be the one thing that corrects the operations. Sadly, I have heard similar experiences from locals. I assure you, I know the Waldorf branding and should you want to be competitive, things must change and quickly. I don't have a problem money for great food, excellent service, and the experience. I have a problem dropping money for what should have been 5 star and was 3 at best. All that said, I will give you another chance. And I will be watching when I walk through the hotel at the guests experience. Staffing. Tenure. Friendliness. A smile. Those are the things that provide your diamonds clarity.

Beautiful hotel and best location to enjoy Main Street. Friendly staff & great food!

Pros- Location to Main Street, food in dining room good but pricey, bar, bed, shower Cons- Rooms noisy, dark, no chairs to sit as well as items missing in room were hand soap, body lotion, & hotel directory listing things to do, places to eat, etc. "Dining room" located near bar & tendency to get noisy

I love that this hotel is in the middle of Fredericksburg. It's easy to walk to all the stores and restaurants. I love that. It's brand new and still smells like fresh paint. Everything is clean and the customer service was excellent. The rooms are a little bare but spacious and could use a little desk or sitting area other than the cushion in the window. I definitely would be back and stay here again.

Form over function on this one. On the upside it's pretty and a great location for Main Street. Showers were delightful. On the downside - beds are rock hard and not comfortable at all. The room setup is frustrating with no real bedside tables. Room air conditioning very poor and feels like it's barely functioning. The bar and restaurant area is somewhat soulless and lacks ambience and the service is super slow. Other than the front desk most of the staff are petty flat.

The appetizers at The Restaurant were great. The mains seemed to lack quality in relation to the price. Very nice hotel, great location. We ordered room service and that was perfect as was the quality of the breakfast. Overall service, excluding room service and valet, was below average but expected seeing that The Albert just opened. Additionally, just a heads up The Restaurant does not have off menu kids options so plan ahead.

Paying for the location not for luxury. Thin walls, mediocre service, restaurants are sub. Definitely a skip

Stopped in to see the place and have a glass of wine at the bar with a friend. Atmosphere was kind of formal but very new and attractive. Staff friendly and attentive. Price was ridiculous. We had one glass of wine each and bill was over $50. We didn't order anything special. But will not go back

Albert hotel is great Marlee gave us a great experience. Ryan was shaking and baking at the bar throwing out the best drinks since we had at Shreveport. Broken glasses and dreams do come true I found my wife here thanks to Ryan. Love this this place. Would come back anytime.

Drinks are really nice and it is a sophisticated atmosphere. Food menu is overpriced for the area so chose not to eat and can only comment on drinks and vibe.

This hotel allows dogs and we have been listening to an unattended dog bark for over an hour. It is almost 11 pm and staff is saying there is nothing they can do as they are trying to get in touch with the folks in that room. Let the buyer beware....we are paying a fortune for this room and it is not worth the aggravation of not being able to sleep

FAR from a luxury hotel. Better than Holiday Inn....but not much. Although it has been under construction for years.....the hotel is NOT finished. It looks as though the middle school shop class built this thing. It is VERY poor construction everywhere you look. So many things wrong. So many. Keys didn't work twice. Room was not cleaned when we left and came back 4 hours later.....for this $$.... there a a lot nicer options in Fred. Go somewhere else until they figure it out.....if they ever do.

Great location. Terrible rooms. You can hear everything above, below and beside you. You can hear other guest hanging up clothes, flushing toilets and walking around. We couldn't sleep at all even with sound machines and wine. WiFi doesn't work either and couldn't get a cell signal in room. Stay elsewhere for the price. Rooms are also very dark with little lighting.

Needs work! Super loud noises in the room! Could not sleep!! And the food was mediocre with small portions! Disappointing! I did like the shower and the bed was super comfy. It's in a great location. It will be so nice after they fix the noises in the rooms and the lighting!!

Amazing hotel, location is perfect and dining was outstanding - be sure and visit the pharmacy and the saloon.
