Alba House  

The woman running this b&b was amazing. She helped orient us on the map to the city upon arrival. She explained how the bus worked (which was a quick easy ride to downtown). She recommend tours and helped set them up, which were great.

A very friendly welcome and availability of any information about Edinburgh and its surrounds.Good cooked breakfast and very comfortable and large room. Well situated on bus routes for easy access into the city or about 25 mins walk.

The hostess was really friendly and informative about the area, and catered around your tastes. Beautiful b & b that was warm and welcoming, and would definately stay here again.

Beautiful house, nice rooms and awesome breakfast in the morning!!

The accommodation itself was great, we were given a lovely room with a view over the very pretty rear garden. The room was very clean, decorated well, contemporary but in keeping with the house. The breakfast was excellent as was the hospitality - we had a warm welcome and Cathy was friendly and informative for the whole stay. The hotel is in a good location, and only about 15 minutes from Edinburgh centre on the many buses available. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and would visit again.

Friendliness, it was very clean and spacious

We had a very nice two nights stay at Alba House. Our hosts were most accommodating and extremely helpful in directing us toward our various destinations, as well as the best places to shop for our daughters academic year in the University of Edinburgh. Location was quiet and comfortable with direct access to a most efficient public transportation system. Breakfast selections at Alba House were plentiful and personal requests catered for with the highest regard. Looking forward to our return later on in the year.

If you choose Alba House you can confidentally expect a friendly,homely atmosphere with a caring hostess[Cath] who will do all she can to ensure a happy visit to the City.Cleanliness abounds and the breakfast cannot be surpassed.Room facilities are good and the free desktop computer was useful. Book with confidence.

Top floor rooms were peaceful and quiet. The whole atmosphere was cozy and harmonic. Cath was a perfect hostess, breakfast was tasty, bed was perfect and shower was effective. Our friend's can give the same comments except the shower. In their room only were a bath tube withe separate taps for cold and warm water. I'd like to propose a small investment. Please, install a separate shower. Less consumption of water will pay it back very soon. However, our stay was very enjoyable and the Military Tattoo was unforgetable. Edinburgh is one of the most beatiful capital cities in Europe and the people are friendly and polite. Even the rain did not spoil the great feeling.

The wardrope was too low for clothes. A coat rack should be practical for outerwear. A small table in the bathroom would be good for the personal items.

Cath, the landlady, was very friendly and helpful. Large, memory foam bed was also a big plus.

The design of the room itself was a bit modern (pink and black), which isn't my favorite.

Very welcoming, clean, great breakfasts. Family cottage was excellent.Staff friendly and helpful.

Cottage needed drier.

We received a very warm welcome from the couple that owned the b&b and found it to be very homely and just a nice place to stay really.

Having read the previous guest comments I had a very high expectation of Alba House but wasn't dissapointed. The welcome was warm and personal. The room couldn't be faulted, huge windows, lots of space and great toiletries, and for my other half - free Wi-Fi connection, large telly and power shower. So we were both happy and would recommend this place anytime.
