My wife and I spent two nights at this guest house in October and found the accommodation and service not up to what we were expecting. The guest house has the feeling that it is desperately in need of a coat of paint and the services of a maintenance man. Although I will mention lots of problems and niggles which... More

I did not stay at this B&B so my comments do not relate to the quality of the accommodation, only my reservation experience. My advice is - do make very very sure that your confirmed reservation is really confirmed. I had a confirmed booking for an en suite room for 3 nights (September 21-24); my chain of emails included bus... More

Stayed one night on business. There are only three parking spaces in front of the house, but ample free off-street parking nearby. My room on the second floor was very clean and well presented. However, flushing the loo and running the taps was horrendously noisy. My neighbour's bathroom plumbing woke me in the early hours. Breakfast wasn't the plentiful Scottish... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights during the Edinburgh Festival. Location-wise, it's quite convenient. Not too far to walk to restaurants and pubs and an easy bus trip to the city centre. It advertises parking but this is very limited. During our stay, we were never able to park in the spaces in front of the guest house.... More

We spent 2 nights at Alexander guest house during the Edinburgh Fringe festival. Walking distance to most venues. The rooms were spotless! The owner was extremely helpful, in fact my sister required medical attention during our visit and the owner drove her to the hospital and even stayed for the 1.5 hours it took for treatment. Above & beyond any... More

Within easy reach of central Edinburgh. TV and tea/coffee in room. Found the shared shower room off-putting with a mirrored wall. Also found the one key given for the two front doors and the room itself a bit unusual. Finally, I found it strange on departure when handing over the payment for our stay together with the "key", at the... More

Nice, clean B&B. Great choice for breakfast and easy walking distance to bus stop to get to the rest of the city. However... would not recommend to young couples. My boyfriend and I are mid-20s (albeit unmarried - but this is Edinburgh not Casablanca!) we on occasion were made to feel like we were staying at a disapproving older relatives... More

Very easy to find, being a straight Road from Waverly Station. an half hour walk or take the Bus of which there are many stopping virtually outside. Very clean, TV and Coffee/Tea in Room. Lovely cooked Breakfast.
