I'll start by saying that as with everything reviews are down to personal preference. I would have given this B&B a 3.5* if it were an option. This is a good B&B for many reasons (see below) it just wasn't the type of B&B we usually stay in but we accept that City difers greatly from country B&Bs. One big... More

Haya & thank you for your review. I am slightly disheartened about your comments as I really felt that we were covering all of your requests… you specially requested the second floor superior room, which is the same size as the first floor superior used by your brother, the high ceiling in the later makes it a lot more imposing,...

We recently stayed at the Albyn townhouse for two nights. After a long drive up from North Wales which resulted in us being later than planned, we arrived to the most fantastic welcome. We were provided with information on buses and the route to walk into Edinburgh from the Albyn as well as information on all the restaurants in the... More

Have just returned from 3 fantastic nights in Edinburgh and would like to say how much I enjoyed staying at The Albyn Townhouse. The owners could not have been more welcoming and were very informative on our arrival providing us with bus maps and attraction guides. The bedroom was very well laid out with a lovey large bed with a... More

Had a 3 night stay here recently and would recommend a stay at The Albyn for anyone visiting Edinburgh. With a warm and friendly welcome I knew we had chosen well. A superb spacious room and the bed provided a fantastic nights sleep. It's set on a very quiet street but is well in reach of the town centre with... More

Fantastic stay, breakfast was delicious, wifi was very useful, beds were comfortable, car parking a real asset in Edinburgh and the proprietors were welcoming and accommodating. Nearby laundrette provided collect and return service wash and walk into Edinburgh was manageable and beautiful - will definately stay again.

Wow - we were really happy with our stay here! We had low expectations mainly excuses it seemed a lot cheaper than many other b&bs in Edinburgh but we were totally blown away when we saw our room -spacious, luxurious and tasteful decor and a massive bed. Little touches like sweets on the bed made it even better. We arrived... More

Just an overnighter booked at the last minute to make a bit more of a business meeting. Lydie was very welcoming, there was a helpful information pack in the rooms, and a good range of places to eat very near by, and it's not too far to the City Centre. We would particularly recommend the chive and scrambled egg pancake... More

Can think of no better way to experience this wonderful city than to stay here. Extremely well located, can walk or bus into the city centre. Offstreet parking is a real bonus, free wifi and extremely well appointed rooms even with a touch of Paris in decoration.
