Likes:
Lovely decor and lighting in the bedroom & ensuite,space for 2 tub chairs so we could both sit comfortably,places to put the bags out of the way and good drawer/hanging space,comfy kingsize bed,food.
Dislikes:
Using hanging rail a little awkward, mainly because my husband brought a huge down jacket! A hook or two somewhere for coats would have helped, or maybe a public coatrack. In room cups rather small.

"Believe the hype!"
We stayed for 2 nights at Alba house which we found ideal for our visit to Edinburgh. The rooms were excellent very clean and well sized. Loved the quirky objects to be found around the place. Decor was very pleasant and the atmosphere was relaxed. Excellent breakfast in the mornings. It was a comfortable place to be. I read the previous reviews and found many of them to be spot on concerning the many qualities of the hotel. Read less
Likes:
Relaxed feel, nice decor, good shower, comfortable bed, friendly welcome and owners attention to making sure our visit went smoothly. Cath is a top class operator and a genuinely lovely person.
Dislikes:
There was nothing to complain about whatsoever. I visited with my Sister, her partner, my mother and my partner and nobody mentioned one negative thing.
Response from Alba House:
How lovely! I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip to Edinburgh, and your stay with us.
I look forward to your next visit!

Alba House was originally a merchent's house in the mid 19th Century. It has all the characteristic features of that era - high ceilings, ornate plaster cornice, wide staircase and spacious rooms. Nowadays it has been adapted for everyday use as a very comfortable hotel, with ensuite bathrooms. However, the charm of its Victorian past has not been lost. Alba House still retains the spacious bedrooms, large windows and elegant public rooms. It also retains its beautiful garden - a haven of trnquility close to city centre, and very much enjoyed by our guests all year round.
Parking in Edinburgh's city centre is always a problem. We recommend that guests leave the car in our carpark and use the very frequent bus srevice from right outside the door. It is by far the easiest way to explore the city. A day ticket can be purchased on the bus and lasts all day long ,giving freedom to explore and reach the less accessable sights!
Your hosts, the Gallagher Family, have been welcoming guest to Edinburgh for the last twenty-five years and are very experienced in providing first class customer service. Being locals, they also know quiye a bit about Edinburgh, and are happy to share this knowledge with their guests.
Alba House is the perfect choice for your stay in Edinburgh, whether your visit is business related or for leisure.
We look forward to welcoming you.
We will soon be adding some pictures of our newly refurbished rooms.
