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!

I recently had the pleasure of staying 3 nights at this charming B&B, conveniently nestled in a prime location with easy access to public transportation and the heart of Edinburgh. Despite the owner, Cathy, being away on vacation, her warmth was matched by the hospitality of her daughter, Erin, and son-in-law, Jamie, who were exceptional hosts during my stay.
The accommodations were top-notch: from the comfortable bed ensuring restful nights to the modern bathroom equipped with strong water pressure - every detail contributed to a seamless and enjoyable experience. Breakfast each morning was a highlight; a hearty offering complemented by a delicious fruit platter, with the option of both tea and coffee catering to all preferences.
On my final day, Cathy made a special effort to greet me, embodying the gracious hospitality that seemed to run in the family. This B&B is a gem for anyone visiting Edinburgh, providing not just a stay but an experience to remember. I am already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended for an unforgettable stay in Edinburgh.

The Alba House is such a lovely house! I really loved the architecture and original details of the property. The room was very comfortable, the bed very soft, and clean. The bathroom had great water pressure and plenty of hot water, and a nice towel warmer.
Our host was extremely welcoming and nice, she gave us great directions and tips for getting around the city! Breakfast was the same each morning, but it was more than enough to fill up and it was really good, fresh food.
We loved our stay and are already planning a trip back!

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.

We had a lovely stay at the Alba House. Easy arrival, nice breakfast, great staff. So convenient to hop on the bus going downtown from in front of the hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

The rooms were lovely. Though on a busy road we had rooms at the back which were quite quiet. Breakfast was lovely

Booked based on reviews and were not disappointed. Although this was at the start of the Coronavirus in UK, the B&B staff were putting distancing and hygene into place with individual orange juice, cakes etc and lots of soap etc. Owner was very friendly and attentive, and a great guide to Edinburgh and the area. Room was big and comfy and the only downside, which I wont mark down for was we were in Room 7 which is on the front of the building which is on a fairly busy street. the old building had original sash windows and they didnt do anything to cancel out the noise from the street. Other than that everything about the B&B was excellent and I would recommend booking if you are thinking about visiting Scotland's capital city. all the best, Tam & Sharon

Really liked the Victorian property so beautifully decorated. Also simply lovely decorations for Christmas. Really made the house feel like a home. However, the noise of the constant traffic disturbed us in our front of house room.

Kath, the hostess, was lovely. She is warm, cordial, and made us feel right at home. She also provided excellent advice about the buses (very convenient from this location!) and timing our visit to various venues (e.g., get to Edinburgh Castle first thing). The bed is amazingly comfortable (we slept very soundly). The breakfast room was roomy and comfortable and the food was excellent -- a beautiful array of both cold and warm (to order) items. The location is really great and there is an Aldi near by if you need anything.

Location not ideal for walking to any restaurant or pub. Nothing nearby. Found the rooms rather old fashioned and a bit run down (mould on bathroom ceiling where a leak had obviously occurred) albeit clean. I am a bit OCD about things being hung straight and the tv was attached to the wall crooked which drove me nuts! Could be so much more with a little tlc and attention to detail, like putting local recommendations in the rooms and better toiletries because at £150 a night, it’s not cheap!
However landlady was very charming, welcoming and helpful.

My son and I stayed at Alba House for a month. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend. Cath and her family are great people. I also loved Rocky, Zelda and Maisy. Cath can tell you anything you need to know about Scotland. I so enjoyed getting to know her during our stay. She is a lovely human being and works very hard. Her place is charming, clean and comfortable. We stayed on the third floor and the one picture is out of the sky light window in the bathroom. The only thing I would say is don't pick the third floor if you don't like climbing stairs. 😁 I just thought of it as burning calories.

We had a lovely stay at Alba house! Kath was so friendly and helpful! She made wonderful breakfasts, and the room was comfortable and clean! One of the most comfortable beds we slept on during our 2.5 weeks in Scotland! We would definitely stay here again!

The hostess, Kath was very sweet and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Unfortunately, it was also very noisy as it faced the busy street below. Additionally, the WiFi did not work well in our room and there is no room other then the breakfast room to retreat to. The shower is a very poor design.

Alba House was a very nice Bed & Breakfast. The best part of our stay was the service and hospitality shown by the Owner who served us a wonderful breakfast and who did everything she could to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Owner was delightful and exceptionally helpful. Hotel was tastefully decorated, very comfortable and clean. Location was excellent either 10 minutes on the bus or 30 minutes walking into the city centre. Also close to supermarket, cafes and pubs etc. Highly recommended.

Superb welcome by the owner with detailed guide for visiting the city. Clean room with care to every details and all the necessary bits. Great breakfast not too greasy and plenty of options. Close proximity to the city, only a short ride of the bus, but just outside so it's quieter and relaxing. Can't recommend more.

Lovely warm welcome and an unexpected upgrade! The room was huge, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Had a lovely cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit and muffins also available. Cath was very helpful with things to do and where to go, nothing was too much trouble, we were a great location, just across the road from the bus stop, which had regular buses. Really enjoyed our stay and when we go back will definitely be going back to Alba House
