Just back from a weekend in Edinburgh staying at Alba Apartments. We had a lovely weekend with great weather, but the apartments were really special. We arrived late on Friday evening and had to get the keys from the key safe in the wall... No problem however, with really easy instructions to follow. We then made our way to the... more

A great internet find, very high standard which loads of space and lots of lovely touches, so m uch better than been in a hotel room, near enough to be able to walk to town. We loved it. more

Recently returned from my first visit to the Edinburgh festival and came across Alba whilst scrolling through the vast amount of accommodation available in Edinburgh. As there were 6 of us with children included we opted for an apartment rather than a hotel so the children would have a bit more space to move around, as woudl we. This little... more

We recently stayed in the 3 bedroom Lower Villa for several nights as part of a family reunion/holiday. Overall, it was a good experience but there is considerable room for improvement! The villas are spacious and newly renovated. There's a large, flat-screen tv and free wifi. They're located in a nice, safe residential part of Edinburgh. The management is generally... more

I have just read the review below about the 2star, unfortunately I did not find this to be the case. I was in the Upper villa only last week and found it immaculate (I am always a little worried with cleanliness for the kids), maybe I had a different type of linen but mines was pretty new and the towels... more

Three couples, regular visitors to Edinburgh thought we would try something different to a hotel for our Easter break. On first impression, everything is 5 star, location, space etc, but on closer inspection, this fabulous villa is sadly let down by very poor cleanliness and very poor quality, stained, linen, towels and is lacking in attention to detail. Not enough... more

This development, midst South Edinburgh's upscale Grange residential district (within lobbing distance of Sir "Fred the Shred" Goodwin's Edinnburgh pad), looks like it has made the best it can of a rather unsuccessful re-working of an Edinburgh residential site. I think the various Victorian buildings made up a RBS residential complex or something but the architect deserves shot for the... more

I stayed in the cottage for a couple of nights during the week. The accommodation is set in a beautiful residential area on the south side of the City. You can be in the city centre in about 20 minutes walking. Busses are regular so getting in and out of the town is easy. There is plenty of parking on... more

Booked with Alba Executive Apartments for a weekend in their Coach House. Was a little concerned that there were no reviews to check, but the website looked good and it seemed good value as I booked on late rooms. There are several groups of apartments some set back from the main street and in varying sizes. They seem to be... more
