Why Business Travellers Choose Alba
🚗 Free Parking — No Hassle, No Meters
Unlike most hotels in Aberdeen city centre, we offer free on-site parking on our private driveway, plus free on-street parking directly outside. If you're arriving by car or van, you won't spend a penny on parking for the duration of your stay.
📶 Fast, Reliable WiFi
Strong WiFi is available throughout the property — so whether you need to send reports, join a video call or catch up on emails after a long day on site, you're covered.
🍳 A Proper Breakfast Before You Head Out
A full Scottish breakfast, freshly cooked each morning by our chef-owner, is optional as part of your stay. Served from 7–9am daily, it's a far better start to a working day than a cereal bar from a vending machine. If you have an early start, just let us know and we'll see what we can arrange. There is also a communal kitchen if you're staying long term.
🧺 Daily Housekeeping & Practical Amenities
Rooms are serviced every day. Iron and ironing board, dryer and other practical requests are all available — useful if you're here for several nights and need to keep work clothes presentable.
💷 Competitive Rates
We're on King Street — one of Aberdeen's main arterial routes — with multiple bus services running directly to and from the city centre, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, and other key destinations. The train station is around a 25-minute walk or a short taxi ride. Aberdeen Airport is approximately 8km away.
📍 Central Location with Great Transport Links
B&B accommodation at Alba is significantly more affordable than equivalent hotel stays in Aberdeen, and all rates include breakfast and parking. For guests staying five or more nights, we offer preferential weekly rates — contact us directly to discuss.
