Highlight of our entire trip. Lovely staff, very clean rooms, cable on the tv. Massive room with comfortable bed. Right next to two bus stations. About a 15 minute bus into old town. Limited parking on site.

Alba House is a beautiful Victorian property, full of original features and character. Our room was large and extremely clean. The bathroom had a wonderful modern shower. Being on the front of the property meant road noise throughout the night as the property is situated on a very busy main road. However, we slept well despite this. Public transport links to and from the property were very good. One day we walked into the city, a lovely walk which took about half an hour at a leisurely pace. The local pubs and restaurants as recommended in the hotel foyer were lovely and everyone was very welcoming. The hotel owners were extremely friendly and kind. Would definitely stay at the Alba House again.

A million thanks to the Alba House

Everything could not be more amazing. We had a perfect experience staying at the Alba House.
We have no idea how to express how grateful we were when finding this wonderful place: they are a lovely family with warm hearts, the building is exquisite, the biscuits are truly tasty and the room is much more pleasant than we thought

I loved staying at the Alba House in Edinburgh! It’s a gorgeous little place, and Cath is a wonderful owner and host. My only complaint is that the bed was super hard, and not very comfortable. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this guest house and would stay again.

Conveniently located near bus stops to get to and from the main tourist hub of the Royal Mile, and it is within walking distance from a shopping center. The room had usb-c ports so that I didn't have to rely on my one outlet converter, which was nice. I met the one staff person on check-in and never saw her again, or anyone else, during my 3-night stay. I had wanted to ask about a very early check-out but couldn't find a way to contact staff in person (there is no reception desk or office). I did eventually find the key drop-box in the hallway lobby but ended up leaving the key in my room.
