My husband and I spent 3 nights here in mid-May. The building itself is beautiful and has been restored well. The room was clean and comfortable. We appreciated the staff making delicious and BIG breakfasts for us each morning. There is a bus stop a few steps from the front door and about 6 city bus lines that take you... More

I stayed for 3 nights in June in a single room which was a good size and had a very nice en suite. The house was beautifully decorated and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was plentiful, good buffet of fruit, cereals, croissants, yoghurts, cheese etc as well as a super cooked breakfast. The beef sausages and... More

We spent 3 nights at this guest house. After arriving in Edinburgh early we chanced the trip to the guest house asking if we could leave our bags. Not a problem at all was the answer. We then had a 20 minute walk into the city where we visited the castle, Greyfriars churchyard and had a spot of lunch at... More

A lovely guest house with beautifully ornate ceilings! We mistakenly arrived at Alba House about 150 metres up the road, so be careful there. A friendly young man greeted us, showing us the room and giving us lots of information about Edinburgh and also where to eat. He also stressed that you need exact money for the bus as they... More

As regulars to Edinburgh, we decided on this visit to look for a B&B in the Newington area of the city, and came across this one. Situated amongst many B&B's this unassuming guest house may only have a 3 start rating but feels more like a 4 star. The interior is tastefully decorated and retains many original features giving it... More

Staff at Alba Hills Guest House were friendly, professional and super-helpful. The breakfasts were delicious, the rooms large and warm, and the building has charm & elegance.. Fantastic location for exploring Edinburgh, and a great Indian restaurant across the street:) We loved it, and when we come back to Edinburgh we'll be staying here again for sure!
