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

Came to this guesthouse after a traumatic realisation that i had a hostel room filled with 7 men during the rugby games for the entire time i was staying in Edinburgh. Im glad i came here, the staff were just fantastic and the single room had enough room. The shower was nice and hot. The breakfast was beautiful. 20min walk... More

Staff are absolutely lovely, and went out of their way to make out stay perfect. Lovely clean rooms, and an amazing breakfast. Good location with frequent buses to get into the city centre! Perfect stay and made for a perfect new year =) Thank you!

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!

However we all received a hot freshly cooked breakfast at the same time, and it was delicious. Coffee, tea and toast just kept coming,... More

Our bed was HUGE with crisp clean... More
