Alba House Hotel

This is an amazing Bed and Breakfast, with an even more amazing host, Cath. What gracious people and that were so accommodating towards international travelers. We were provided with everything we could possibly need, if we ever come back to Edinburgh, Scotland, we know where we will be staying!

Absolutely beautiful house chosen by us to stay at for a mini break as a base to discover Edinburgh, such a lovely warm welcome by Kath and really helpful pointers on finding our way around via the endless buses, the house is large and spotless, parking spaces for 5 cars, bus stop almost outside the door and the room we had was rear facing on the first floor and was lovely and spacious, very comfy, quiet and a modern bathroom with shower. We will return and we will book here too, the only thing I would like added to the experience at Alba House would be a cooked breakfast to the morning menu even at additional cost but the continental breakfast was just fine to start your day on. 10/10 from us, got home earlier today and already pine to return.

We had a lovely double room on the main floor facing the back of the house. Cath was a gracious hostess, helping us get oriented to the city and showing us how to use the public bus systems. The continental breakfasts were delicious and filling. Highly recommend for couples or solo travelers.

Have just stayed at Alba House for 2 nights and would recommend here to anyone travelling to Edinburgh, as well as definitely staying here again if/when I come back to Edinburgh myself! The b&b is about a 30 minute walk or small bus ride from the centre, but a bit away from all the hustle and bustle too which was nice. Our room was spacious and clean and the hosts couldn’t of been more friendly and helpful, nothing was an issue including even being able to check in earlier than we thought, and also being able to leave our luggage with them too. The continental breakfast was also really big and plentiful and kept us well fuelled up for the start of a day of busy Edinburgh exploring! Thankyou so much for everything!

The communal areas and our room were lovely - beautifully decorated and very well maintained. Breakfast was great ( not a cooked breakfast but perfect for us) - including fresh fruit and pastries. The fan in bedroom was very welcome as it was so warm. The only thing missing was a shower cubicle ( we had a bath and shower attachment which was fine ) - but I can see that would be hard to fit in as we were in an ‘attic’ room with low sloping ceilings.

What can I say other than absolutely fantastic. The greeting at the front door by the host was really warm. The house has been restored tastefully and without expense. The rooms are 5 star plus with modern bathrooms. Great beds therfore great sleep 😴 Breakfast again is a joy a multitude of choices. You cannot get much better for getting into Edinburgh centre a Miles walk or a short bus journey all the buses pass the attractions. Will definitely come again. Far better than theses faceless hotels.
