Eat & Drink

Leisure & Business
The property offers a picnic area and a golf course as leisure options onsite.
“Alba Guest House strikes me as a particularly welcoming base in Aberdeen, especially given its proximity to both the university and the seafront's Beach Ballroom. The owners' attentiveness seems a true highlight, complementing comfortable rooms and a satisfying breakfast. While rooms may be compact and some amenities spotty, the overall experience points to a reliably hospitable stay.”

The breakfast included was good value. It was freshly prepared.
My room felt quite dated. The furniture showed signs of wear, and it affected the overall impression (it could benefit from an update).

the room assigned to me was quite small. i had to open my suitcase near the door, it felt a little cramped.
