"Best value around, very friendly staff, will always be my hotel of choice for stays in Edinburgh"
I occasionally need to make brief trips into Edinburgh for just one night and the Alexander Guest House provides an extremely affordable place to stay, without feeling as if you are sacrificing anything. The location is far enough from the centre of town so that it is a quiet neighborhood, but not too far to walk if you have the time, or just a cheap taxi away. The best deal in Edinburgh from my experience. Highly recommended and I will definitely be returning. Read less
Likes:
The rooms are clean, comfortable, and an adequate size. The staff if friendly, personable and very accommodating (on both of my stays I requested a late checkout and that was made possible).
Dislikes:
None
