'We had an incredible time staying at Albyn! It is a sweet, cozy, friendly place with wonderful personal touches everywhere. Lydie and David were extremely friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed them! And the vegan breakfast menu was an amazing surprise!! The website says that they can cater breakfast to vegetarians and vegans, but this was beyond what we imagined! I recommend making that more clear on the website. Also, the cost for staying was very reasonable, especially given how fantastic the place is! Although it is a good walk to get into town, the buses are very close by and we really enjoyed the walk. Thanks for a great time!!'

'We had a great time at the Albyn. David and Lydie were very welcoming. The rooms are spotlessly clean, quiet and well provided for with tea and coffee. Breakfasts are tasty, plentiful and offer many good choices. The B&B is situated in a lovely part of Edinburgh, quiet but well serviced by local restaurants and only a short walk from the city centre. When we go to Edinburgh again we will most definately stay here again.'

'My wife and I stayed for five nights. We were given a warm welcome and handed the key to our beautifully decorated room in this lovely Victorian townhouse. On a quiet street, away from traffic noise, the house allowed us to get a peaceful night's rest after busy days out. There's plenty of variety on offer for breakfast and our waitress was attentive and polite. The only potential drawback for anyone travelling by car is that parking at the house is limited to four vehicles. We travelled by train so this was not a problem.'

The city centre is a short walk or bus ride away. The accommodation standard is very high; the welcome and the food is second to none. More like a boutique hotel than a guest house. We would reccommend anyone to stay here if they were visiting Edinburgh. Thanks.'

Only the location is a little bit far from the downtown area. But we personally like the quite but vivid neighbourhood. Several bus routs also link the city center and the house. If you prefer walking, it will take you about 30-40 minutes through the lovely meadow to the old town.'

'Boyfriend and I stayed for two nights at Albyn Townhouse. Everything went smoothly - parking spot right outside the house, warm welcome from David, as well as a clean and comfortable room with fantastic views of Edinburgh from the top floor of the house. There was a large choice at breakfast, particularly impressed by the amount of vegetarian options (savoury pancakes with cheese and eggs were a particular favourite.) Although a little way from the centre a busy bus route a couple of minutes down the road meant that we had no problem getting into town. The bus took about 10 minutes. But also, the area where the B&B is located had a lot of lovely cafes and shops. All in all, a great stay. Would not hesitate in coming back for our next Edinburgh adventure,'

'We recently stayed at the Albyn and it was just what we needed. Comfortable, friendly and very clean, tasty full breakfast and reasonable price. Ideal location, my father was in the Murryfield Spire hospital overnight so we needed to be close, but also didnt want to be somewhere noisy as we have a 16 month old girl. The owners made every effort to ensure we had a good stay and gave us ideas of what we could do on the Thursday as we didn't know the area. Thank you for making us feel welcome and setting up a high chair for Grace in the morning as if it was home! Thanks again for your effort and kindness, would recommend (infact we already have done!) and we will stay again if in Edinburgh!'

'A well run guest house in a cosy atmosphere. Rooms decorated with style and bathrooms modern and well equiped. All details in the house make it a homely place. Owners as well as staff very kind and helpful. Would always return to the Albyn TH. and can strongly recommend to others who look for an authentic scotish accomodation.'

'This guest-house is just the right place to stay in Edinburgh! Everyone is really welcoming and friendly, the breakfast selection is a dream come true and the bed was very comfy! From Albyn Town House you can walk to the city centre if you wish so - or you can take one of several buses which stop nearby. Very nice shops and cafès in 5 minute walking distance. We (42 and 44) enjoyed our stay very much and hope to be back soon :-))'

'The Albyn Townhouse is very comfortable and classy. The breakfast was delicious although we missed the possibility to get a continental breakfast. The staff was marvellous. The room was very very nice, clean and huge. The view from our room was magnificient- could see all over the city and to the sea.'

'I enjoyed my stay at Albyn House very much. The room where I stayed was large and comfortable. I was pleased to have internet access as well as a comfortable bed and a lovely modern bathroom. The atmosphere of the house was friendly and warm. The staff and the owners Lydie and David were always helpful and attentive. I felt at home. When at one point I thought that I had lost my sunglasses there was genuine concern and a genuine willingness to help. Fortunately, I found them! I would return again to Albyn House and I recommend it to anyone who wants a home away from home when staying in Edinburgh. My only sadness is not to have seem more of the dog!'

'My grandson and I stayed at the Albyn for 4 days in May and we would highly recommend it, both for the hospitality and for the breakfasts. We usually walked to the Royal Mile (it was about 15-20 minutes walk, mostly through parks) and when needed, the bus was only a few blocks away from the Albyn. Lydie and David were always willing to answer questions and help in any way they could both before we arrived and while we were there. The room was large, immaculate and beautifully decorated and was exactly what we had requested. I would definitely stay there again.'
