Albyn Townhouse Hotel Review

Located 3.2 km to BT Murrayfield Sports Stadium, this 4-star Albyn Townhouse Hotel Edinburgh offers Wi Fi throughout the property and a car park. Set a 25-minute walk from the historic fortress "Edinburgh Castle", it is the traditional guest house to stay in the Bruntsfield district of the city.

In addition, Albyn Townhouse Hotel serves a free breakfast every morning. Drinks are available at the snack bar. It overlooks the city. While staying at this Edinburgh property guests can choose out of dining options nearby, such as Papilio Restaurant, set 400 metres away, or La Barantine at a 5-minutes' walking distance.

Situated in the heart of Edinburgh, in a residential area, the smoke free accommodation is near Thread & Heather. Guests will also get to this Edinburgh hotel around a 25-minute walk of the green Flag park "Princes Street Gardens".

Equipped with a private safe and smoke detectors, some of the 8 rooms feature a stone fireplace along with a sofa set and a study table. They come with a shower together with amenities like hair dryers and towels.

The nearest bus stop is Bruntsfield Place, set in 200 metres away, and Edinburgh Waverley train station is 2.8 km away.

Canoeing and bowling lovers will enjoy these activities on site.

We loved the location of this hotel on a quiet street, just a short walk to the high street with lots of restaurants, shops, and bus stops to the city center. It was close enough to the center of the city to be convenient, but far enough away to feel relaxing. The hotel facilities were excellent, with clean and comfortable rooms that were well-decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The breakfast provided was delicious and offered a variety of hot and cold options. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
Nothing, all great.
We enjoyed the vintage atmosphere of this hotel, which was close enough to the center of the city but far enough away to feel relaxing. The peaceful and quiet location allowed us to unwind after exploring the bustling town of Edinburgh. We found it very convenient to get into the New Town by hopping onto a bus, which we did several times a day to go into Princes Street. The hotel facilities were excellent, with clean and spacious rooms that were nicely decorated. The staff were polite, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay.
Can't think of anything.
We had a fantastic stay at this B&B! Our room was incredibly spacious with high ceilings and large windows, making it feel airy and comfortable. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The breakfast in the morning was delicious, with a variety of hot cooked options as well as baked goods and cereals. The location of the hotel was ideal, with a local bus service conveniently located at the top of the street and plenty of shops and eateries nearby. Additionally, the parking facilities were a great convenience for our visit.
Couldn't stay longer.
The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep. The room was impeccably clean and had all the necessary amenities and more. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel welcome. The location was perfect, with plenty of coffee shops and just a few minutes' walk to the Meadows, offering a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Additionally, it was easy to access the New Town by hopping on a nearby bus, which we did multiple times a day to explore Princes Street. There were also a plethora of excellent restaurants in close proximity, as well as shops and bus stops that led directly to the city center.
It was all superb.
We loved the cleanliness, hotel facilities, and great choice for breakfast. The location was perfect with a couple of very good cafes just around the corner on the bottom floor. The staff were friendly and helpful.
No complaints.
