Alba House is an elegant, Victorian-era Guest House located just a 10 minute drive from the city centre on Craigmillar Park. 

Alba House is situated on the south side of the city and is a great base for exploring Edinburgh and the surrounding area. It is well served by local transport. Edinburgh University (Kings Buildings), The Royal Observatory, The Medical School and Edinburgh Royal Infirmary are all close by. There are several great pubs and local restaurants within a 10 minute walk and a local shopping centre is a 5 minute walk away.

Being a Victorian villa, no two bedrooms are the same, however, all bedrooms have lots of character, most with high ceilings and intricate cornice work. Our two classic rooms on the second floor are smaller in size, have cosy coombed ceilings and are probably not suited to guests with limited mobility or oversized luggage.

All rooms include free Wifi, complimentary breakfast, ensuite bathrooms and flat screen televisions.

Smoking is not permitted anywhere on the premises.

Whether you visit Edinburgh for business or leisure, please be assured that you will receive a warm welcome and great local knowledge form your local hosts.

Had a lovely stay at Alba House. The room was spacious, very clean and decorated beautifully. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty to keep you filled up for the day ahead. The location was right beside a bus stop and buses came regularly to take you into Edinburgh City centre However we like to walk and it only took us around 30mins to walk into Edinburgh City centre. Catherine was a wonderful host, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend! Thank you for a memorable stay Rachel & Aaron

I stayed here for 6 nights. I couldn't compliment this B and B highly enough, it is the best room I have ever stayed in and I have been all over the world. The bed was comfortable, we slept well, we were worried about hearing the traffic at night but it was very quiet. The whole place was lovely and quiet all the time. The room was very big, the furniture was modern but in keeping with the victorian style. Everything was extremely clean! We loved that we could park the car there for free and we left it there the whole time and got the bus everywhere which was easy with a stop just outside. Catherine was absolutely lovely, she recommended great local pubs to go and eat in and she was very knowledgeable about Edinburgh and had recommendations about were to visit. Breakfast service hasn't gone back to normal yet but it was lovely, we actually really liked eating in our room. We really enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to anyone.
