It was a warm welcome, and we absolutely loved the house, we had a fabulous, well lit room. Best night sleep I could have had away from my bed! Very yummy continental breakfast. Bus stops straight outside to go to the centre of town, nighttime buses too!

There was nothing at all wrong with out stay! 100% recommend.

Beautiful and clean hotel (used to be a B&B but they no longer offer breakfast) with updated facilities! We appreciated the updated bathroom appliances, excellent shower with plenty of hot water (not a given in Scotland), and comfortable layout of the room. The sitting area by the window was perfect for enjoying a cup of tea -- they also refreshed our tea/biscuit supply each day which we really appreciated! The location is a couple miles from the city centre, but everything is easily accessible by bus. The hotel is quiet and the hosts are very communicative if you need anything. We would stay here again!

Exquisite home beautifully decorated & comfortable So lovely to come home to. Cath is a gem. Nothing is too much trouble. You just need to ask We loved our little room at the top of the stairs with a view out over the surrounds & windows you could open. The position is perfect with the bus so handy or even a hire car to enter & exit the city

We had been warned by Cath that the room was at the top of the stairs & mistakenly looked at the stairs in the pictures. There was a killer spiral staircase above there. Difficult with luggage but we were helped by 2 lovely girls going up & Cath & her husband coming down. And we still loved that we had this cute attic room

The accommodation is spectacular! The location is great, it’s in a quiet residential area, and it takes around 15 mins to get to the downtown by bus, so it’s perfect. The neighborhood is so lovely, and there is a shopping mall and a few restaurants nearby too. The owner of the place is the sweetest person ever! She has given us recommendations and tips on where to go and what to do, and she’s been extremely friendly and helpful during all our stay. We felt so welcome! Thank you! The room was cozy and spacious, all those small details were great, and it had everything we needed. I would sincerely recommend this place to stay in Edinburgh!

Nothing to mention.

The house and property are beautiful, with lots of local charm, and a seamless blend of vintage and modern. We arrived at 9 AM to drop our bags, and our room was ready! A very pleasant surprise. Our room was very pretty with gorgeous custom drapery, wallpaper, and quality linens. The bathroom was modern, with a strong, hot shower. The woman who greeted us in the foyer was very friendly and helpful. She gave us lots of information about the house, the bus line, and restaurants. The bus stop was literally across the street, and it just took a few minutes to get into town, where all the attractions were. It made our stay easy to navigate.

The only thing I can think of is that, when we booked this property it said it had a breakfast, and the pictures looked very good. And when we got there they said they no longer were doing breakfast. So we only went in and out of our room. If there were any other rooms in the house to see, we missed it.

The property was excellently located. Close to amenities. The room itself was clean and very comfortable. Very easy to come and go and had such a wonderful host!!

I mean this couldn’t be helped and I know it’s almost an abnormality for Scotland to have beautiful weather but we were situated in a room at the top of the building and as the temperature was very warm in general the room was prone to heating up and being stuffy although the windows were left open and a fan was provided it didn’t do much good. However this was very minor but worth mentioning.

The hosts were absolutely wonderful. On arrival Cathy provided us with lots of information on Edinburgh, where to go and what to do and provided us with details on the bus routes that got us right into the centre of town. The bus stop location couldn't be more convenient, it really is right outside the hotel and they come very frequently with lots of options so you're right into town quickly. Our bedroom was very comfortable and though on the warmer side, there was plenty of ventilation which was just fine for us. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was a lovely, lighter start to the day with fruit or pastry options alongside a selection of cereal options and yoghurt.

Our room was on the top floor which could make it fairly warm, but this was a very minor flaw and not one that could be helped. Just worth noting for anyone who may find sleeping in heat in the summer a problem. Our room didn't have a standing shower due to it's shape, but again this was not really an issue for us.

We booked this stay at the last minute when we found out our other hotel couldn’t hold our bags before check-in. We showed up almost promptly at 9 asking them to store 2 big bags, 2 carry-ons, and 2 backpacks and they didn’t bat an eye, they even took them to our room for us once it was ready. We did have a few questions after-hours on our first night and the hosts were very generous with their time. It was clean, it’s super close to Cameron Toll shopping center, smart TV in our room + a fan, and we were able to do express check-out when we left to catch our flight at 4am. It was decently priced for the area as well.

It’s a good 40-45 minute walk from city center, but there is a bus that can take you there and bring you back.

Alba House is conveniently located just outside of city center. You can get just about everywhere in 20 minutes via bus. The bus stop is just across the street from the BnB. Cath, the owner, is very sweet and helpful with directions and recommendations. Our room was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Breakfast in the morning was fresh and very good. This was the perfect stay for our trip to Edinburgh. I would 100% stay here again.

I can not think of anything that I did not like. There is just too much good about the place!

Clean, spacious room. No curfew. Adults only. Car park at front and ample parking on side street with no time limits or permits required. Ideal location with regular bus services outside the b&b into Edinburgh centre. Kath is a lovely host, very welcoming.

Wasn't really a dislike as such, but on booking.com, photos showed full English breakfast and didn't state continental only, so we expected a hot option. We think for the price, a small hot option would be ideal to be included. We are happy to preorder a hot option, too, just like we did with the continental the night before. It wouldn't stop us from booking here again, though. We would just be mindful of no hot options.
