We had a most enjoyable stay here. The host was wonderful and helpful, so many extra touches which were appreciated. Tea and coffee in room, magnifying mirror in bathroom. Warm towels on the heated rail. Breakfast continental in style involving cereal, juice, pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, tea/coffee etc. Kind host had recycling facilities for residents and was mindful of not using single use plastics. Lovely warm house. We were helped with which bus to take to city and given advice re places to see. Buses stopped nearby. On a busy road so easy access and parking but light sleepers better in rear rooms. Excellent.

We had a wonderful time during our stay at Alba House. Cath was so lovely and gave us lots of tips for tours and sightseeing. For breakfast we had cereal and toast - perfect to keep you going for the day without feeling to stuffed afterwards. The House is just a little outside the city Center, so you can either take the bus or walk (approx. 50 min to castle). We walked everywhere and Alba house was a great starting point for all our tours. We would definitely recommend this lovely house to anyone wanting to explore Edinburgh and it’s surroundings.

We stayed three nights during our first time in Edinburgh. Our hosts gave us plenty of great information on local attractions and restaurants. The breakfasts were wonderful, and the hospitality was great. We would definitely recommend this as a quiet place to stay when in Edinburgh.

Location is amazing! You can take a bus just in front of the house. The owner Cathy is a gorgeous person. You can communicate with her in any case. The rooms are so clean and warm. The hotel is a Victorian building that embraces you mystically. You can find yourself in ancient times in the building. I strongly recommend experiencing this environment. We are just fascinated.

This is one of the best experiences we have had at a B&B. Cath is a great host with a wealth of knowledge that she is willing to share about Edinburgh. The bus stop is directly in front of the house and the system is easy to navigate, so getting around town is easy. Restaurants are within walking distance. The Alba House is very well laid out and the amenities are modern and clean. If we are fortunate enough to come back to Edinburgh this will be our home base. Thank you, Cath!
