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

Recently spent a couple of nights at this B&B and can honestly say was an excellent choice! Greeted with a warm welcome (despite being much earlier than expecteed) and made to feel very 'at home'. A beautiful room and delicious breakfast along with a flexible hostess (who allowed us to come and go as we pleased) made for a luxurious,... More

Just back from a one night stay at no.20 Albany Street and can honestly say it was perfect! Denise is a fabulous hostess and made us feel so welcome.

This was our first trip to Scotland, and what a positive experience! Denise showed us to the sitting room where we were served whisky and lemon cakes. She made dinner reservations for us at the Magnum (best fish and chips) across the street. This Georgian townhome is within walking distance to everything. We stayed in the Robert Adams suite which... More

Stayed here for our honeymoon and for Hogmanay after travelling up from Tyneside for a few days. You can tell it used to be someone's amazing house and the place is very nice to say the least. We'd looked at other hotels for that time of year and they all seemed to be overpriced (not surprisingly) and so we decided... More

It's great to be a 10 minute walk from the Royal Mile. Away from the crowds, but close enough to walk and be in a neighborhood. 20 Albany Street is a beautiful Georgian walk up run by a very professional woman- Denise. Breakfast was excellent, fresh fruit, variety, cooked to order, abundant! The breakfast room and really all the rooms... More

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights mid-December and were so happy with everything! The service Denise provided and attention to detail with everything from the welcome with a dram of whiskey to breakfast to complimentary treats in our room, definitely tops any 5 star hotel I have ever stayed at.

This Georgian home,a a 20 minute walk to the castle and Royal Mile has been beautifully restored with every detail considered. Denise welcomes you in the traditional Scottish manner with a glass of whisky and home made cake.
