Loved our stay at 20 Albany Street. A Georgian gem. Amazing entrance hall. Fantastic location but also very peaceful at night. Had a lovely warm welcome from Denise who then served us afternoon tea in the drawing room which included freshly made sandwiches of our choice and home made cake - delicious. We stayed in the William Playfair suite which... More

This place is special. From the moment we arrived, we had nothing but outstanding service. After very long flights it was marvelous to have Denise greet us at the door, and take us immediately to our rooms. Our family was there for 3 nights and occupied the Robert Adams and James Madison suites. They are gorgeous, spacious rooms, and every... More

My husband and I recently spent 3 nights at 20 Albany. This is an outstanding B&B in a gorgeous Georgian townhouse which is in exquisite condition. I would say it's more like a luxury boutique hotel in quality, except that it is Denise who makes you feel so welcome in her home. We arrived several hours earlier than planned and... More

What else is there left to say about 20 Albany Street that hasn't been said in the previous reviews - Denise runs a superb bed and breakfast which is difficult to beat. This was our second stay and first in the Robert Adam suite in that enormous bed! The room is beautifully furnished, extremely spacious and superb views across to... More

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights, and it was fantastic! My husband and I stayed in the James Craig suite, which was spacious and nicely furnished. I thought the bed and furniture in the room were quite comfortable. My parents and brother stayed in the Robert Adams suite, and they found that to be very agreeable as... More

My husband and I stayed for three nights in the Robert Adam suite over the Whit bank holiday weekend and we thoroughly endorse all the previous fantastic reviews for 20 Albany Street. The house is lovely and in an ideal location. The bedroom and bathroom are very large and well-equipped, with lovely furniture. The breakfasts were superb - probably the... More

If 20 Albany Street hasn't already set the B & B benchmark in Edinburgh, it should! We researched so many places to stay in Edinburgh but based on other reviews of 20 Albany and on the 20 Albany Street website our choice was clear. I cannot express enough what an excellent choice we made! To sum it all up; our... More
