We thought the breakfast was basic. We would have liked to have had a hot breakfast. It would be good to specify the type of breakfast on the website. We probably would have stayed elsewhere.

Right on the bus route, close to good restaurants.

Position worked for us Scottish hospitality Fresh breakfast Catherine, our host was extremely helpful

What we loved about this property is the fact it is a little bit out of town but the bus stops right at your door so after a big day of touring or shopping or just doing Edinburgh you get to come home to a lovely home met by the owner

The property was on a bus line with stops out front, but was also a reasonable walk to old town to the north and a shopping mall to the south. The host was very attentive to our needs and pleasant to talk to.

I can not think of anything that I did not like. There is just too much good about the place!

Alba House is conveniently located just outside of city center. You can get just about everywhere in 20 minutes via bus. The bus stop is just across the street from the BnB. Cath, the owner, is very sweet and helpful with directions and recommendations. Our room was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Breakfast in the morning was fresh and very good. This was the perfect stay for our trip to Edinburgh. I would 100% stay here again.

We liked everything.

Beautiful warm welcome by Cath our host, lovely big room with garden outlook, great breakfast, convenient location with bus to town in 10 minutes at front door, on site parking.

Our room was on the top floor which could make it fairly warm, but this was a very minor flaw and not one that could be helped. Just worth noting for anyone who may find sleeping in heat in the summer a problem. Our room didn't have a standing shower due to it's shape, but again this was not really an issue for us.

The hosts were absolutely wonderful. On arrival Cathy provided us with lots of information on Edinburgh, where to go and what to do and provided us with details on the bus routes that got us right into the centre of town. The bus stop location couldn't be more convenient, it really is right outside the hotel and they come very frequently with lots of options so you're right into town quickly. Our bedroom was very comfortable and though on the warmer side, there was plenty of ventilation which was just fine for us. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was a lovely, lighter start to the day with fruit or pastry options alongside a selection of cereal options and yoghurt.

Bathroom was not the newest.

Lovely room, very quiet, breakfast with fresh fruits, yorghurt and bread with jam. A bus stop to the centre is right infront of the house. Owners are very friendly and keen on giving advices. Will come again.

Breakfast was continental. For the price of 2 nights being what it was you would expect to be able to have a cooked breakfast

The room was excellent. The landlady was very polite and helpful

Stayed in July 2024

the winding narrow stairs leading up to the twin room was a bit hazardous, but it did state that on the website.( my fault for not reading it properly). However we managed and Cath organised for our cases to be taken up and brought back down at the end of our stay.

The Breakfast was great, set us up before our trip to the city. The bus service is excellent, a choice of 7 buses to and from the city. We chose the only twin room which was in the attic space as we don't sleep together as sisters. Room was lovely overlooking the garden.
