I had a great long weekend at Alba Hills Guest House for a rugby match. The hosts were incredibly hospitable, the room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast options were excellent. The hotel is conveniently located on major bus routes and within walking distance of the city center. The free wifi worked perfectly and the shower gel provided was enjoyable. I would definitely look to stay here again if I return to Edinburgh.

100% Recommend this hotel.

The staff was accommodating and friendly, allowing early check-in and bag storage. The neighborhood was nice, with convenient bus stops nearby. The clean, spacious bathroom was sufficient for one person. The 24/7 breakfast room offered a quiet space with basic yet satisfying options. The comfortable beds ensured a restful sleep.

7.6/10

United Kingdom, March 2023

The room was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities provided. The bed was cozy and there were clean towels available. The guest house had a charming decor, with ornate ceilings and an old staircase.

The noise from other guests can be bothersome at times, especially if they return late at night and are not considerate about banging doors.

5.0/10

United Kingdom, February 2023

The view from the room was great and the staff were friendly.

The room was extremely small, and the shower was uncomfortable to use. The noise from the street and other guests made it impossible to sleep, and the breakfast was not satisfying at all.

United Kingdom, December 2022

The location was perfect, easily accessible by public transport. The room had a lovely view and the facilities were as expected. The breakfast was fantastic and set us up for a busy day sightseeing. Highly recommended for our next trip.

Felt very relaxed, no complaints whatsoever.
