We've visited Edinburgh for 3 days. Our stay at Albyn Townhouse was perfect. A little walk to the center and also many restaurants and cafes nearby. The neighborhood was friendly and quiet. We can recommend this place.

The house is beautiful and Lydie is very welcoming and helpful. Our room was spotless and comfortable. The house is quiet despite being within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

Lovely house and host. Felt very welcoming and homely. Great location with private parking. Pubs and restaurants within walking distance and public transport to take you anywhere in the city. Edinburgh is a beautiful city, so much to see and do.

We really enjoyed our stay. You can tell that a lot of love went into decorating the house and making it a family run guest house. Located in a cul de sac, very quiet and away from the traffic. The view from our window was very beautiful, over the roofs of Edinburgh and as far as the Firth river. The bed was very comfortable. There were plenty of cafés and small shops in the area to choose from and it was only a 20 minutes walk from the city centre.

What a place and what a hostess! Lydie immediately made us feel welcome and at home when we arrived at Albyn. The house is beautiful and our room was perfect and spotless, with everything we needed for a few nights in Edinburgh. I think we slept better than we have done in months. The little touches in the room did not go unnoticed, from the luggage matt, to the water and good coffee, to the jar of cotton rounds in the bathroom, to the proper-sized, fluffy bath sheets! The house itself is stunning, with lovely period features retained throughout. Every day we spotted another little detail of the lovely way in which the house has been decorated by Lydie. Books, art, photographs, cute little chalk boards with messages for guests about breakfast, buses and WiFi...the works! Location wise, it was spot on. It's in a lovely area of Edinburgh with plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance, but it's also nice and quiet. We booked parking ahead of our stay directly with Lydie for an incredibly reasonable rate. The car park was secure and in the grounds of the house. Town was just a short 20 minute walk and Lydie had given us a map with directions when we arrived. There were also regular buses a 5 minute walk from the guesthouse that we hopped on one evening to save our legs after a long day. Communication was clear ahead of our stay and during and Lydie had put together an amazing guide of things to do and places to eat. The owner, Lydie, is wonderful. Such a warm and utterly delightful human being who made our stay even more lovely. We will definitely be back and we can't wait. C'est parfait!

The host, Lydie, is a delightful, warm, and welcoming person who made me feel right at home in her lovely place. My room was perfect, with a very comfortable bed, and a view over the city. I ordered breakfast, which came with excellent coffee, croissants, jam, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheese and biscuits; a substantial morning repast delivered to my room. Lydie had suggestions for restaurants, getting around Edinburgh, etc. All great! Highly recommend and will return when next in Edinburgh!

Out of the three places I stayed at during my time in Scotland, the Albyn Townhouse was the best one. Lydie was a lovely host and was very accommodating. Would recommend.

Nothing

Very nice and helpful host, cosy atmosphere, very clean, location super - very quiet but only short walk to lovely Highstreet with a lot of very nice Cafes and Restaurants. Busstop nearby but walking into town center also possible and pleasant.

Everything was fine!

A lovely, clean and cosy place to stay just on the outskirts of the city centre. Host was very welcoming and was always on hand with anything we would require. We will stay here again when we return to Edinburgh in the future! Thank you for having us here.

Nothing comes to mind

Location was great for public transport and meals and we could leave our car parked at the Townhouse. View from room was great, some people may not like the stairs but it is befitting for the love home.. Lydie is friendly and provides good information to get you on your way.

I can't think of anything that could be better. It is good to keep in mind, though, that you have to walk (or take the bus) a bit before you get to the real center of the city.

We enjoyed the room, the great cozy decor of the house, the friendly funny hostess and the nice not-so-touristy neighborhood just outside the center of Edinburgh.

Lovely Victorian era townhouse located in a leafy, chic area not to far from Edinburgh attractions. Lydie is a wonderful host

A beautiful quirky immaculately clean house with a very welcoming atmosphere.

Cosy & quirky

Nothing was uncomfortable, annoying or other wise reason for a compliant - maybe one though: might be that our stay at Albyn Townhouse was fare too short..;0))

We really enjoyed staying so close to everything - walking distance to all "tourist stuff" and at the same time a quiet area of Edinburgh.
