This was a great place to stay just a 5-10 minute down main thoroughfare from central Oban. Appeared to be brand new or very recently refurbished. Has small refrigerator and excellent bed. We stayed three nights and kept our car parked onsite. Even had juices, waters and snacks included in the price.

The innkeeper, Susie was so accommodating! She was able to let us check in early and give us an upgraded room! The room is beautiful. Very clean and comfortable. The location is in a nice residential neighborhood of Edinburgh, but the bus into the city center is right outside of the house. Quick 10min bus to Royal Mile.

Our room and the shared kitchen were very clean. The check in instructions were clear and the house easy to locate. The bed was very comfortable and the room was cozy with an electric fireplace. We could hear the stream in the backyard running over the rocks.

We had a great stay at this wonderful location. The room was very comfortable. Stuart is a great host who really goes above and beyond for his guests. Excellent breakfast! The Guest House is a short walk to the City centre (Bus stop close by but we didn't use it).

The guest house was in a great location. Next to the bus station, 5 minutes away from Waverley station. Our room was clean with firm comfy beds, exactly as we requested. Murray, our host, was helpful and polite, and looked after us so well. Our room had a great view from the windows. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms were quieter than I had expected given the location.

Mark is a very friendly and helpful host. He prepares a yummy breakfast (yogurt with fresh fruits, porridge, pancakes with maple syrup and all sorts of cooked scottish breakfast). It’s a beautiful (and quiet) guest house within walking distance to the restaurants.

Nancy is a great host, she is very welcoming and serves you an outstanding breakfast. The Guest House is beautiful and centrally located in Pitlochry (but absolutely quiet). Next time in Scotland - we will be back!

A nice room in a shared apartment. It is a bit further from the city centre, the area is quiet with multiple restaurant options and grocery stores. We were in contact with the host only online, we received all the instructions and it worked well for us. Overall a nice cheap option to stay in the city.

Alba host was very welcoming. After check-in was shown facilities and given keys for personal use whilst at the Guest House. Excellent facilities through out. Great value for money rate which includes breakfast. Selection of Cereals and fruit plus full hot breakfast. On Main Road a little away from city centre - about 15/20 minutes walk. Quiet location. Aberdeen is city full of history, culture and architecture. Would highly recommend a visit to the city and the Alba Guest House.

Warm cosy homely guest house with real character. Our room was spacious & clean with very comfy beds. Exceptionally quiet considering the busy road it is situated on. Direct bus link to the City Centre in both directions. Fantastic welcoming hosts & a friendly Tom to greet you
