We stayed here for an overnight stay prior to a hospital appointment. It was excellent in all aspects. The room was spotless, fresh and inviting. It was ideally situated, easy to find and parking available. Comfortable bed and lovely crisp bedding all added to the experience. We had a delicious breakfast....I would highly recommend and we will certainly be back. ##### Tracy Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Simone Jan 19, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great little find What a lovely little find and with a bus service to Edinburgh centre right outside the front door. Very very comfy bed , slept better than i had in weeks. Lovely couple that run the B&B . At first i thought the bathroom was very small but considering the size of the property i thought it was great use of a small space. Didnt have breakfast as i was out early both days. Highly recommend and if i have to come back to the city i may just book again. ##### Simone Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate Oct 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Visit to Edinburgh Would return to the Alpha anytime I need to use a b & b in Edinburgh. ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 16, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely lovely little guest house.

Engagierte und sehr nette Gastgeber, unkomplizierte Kommunikation. Bushaltestelle vor der Türe, man ist rasch in der Innenstadt. Zimmer sauer und schön. Leider ist das Waschbecken im kleinen Bad wirklich winzig. Aber für ein paar Tage stört das nicht. Unser erstes Zimmer war perfekt, das zweite roch leider etwas muffig - kam wohl aus dem Bad. Aber ansonsten wirklich alles bestens. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfy Stay Comfortable place to stay as I was working at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

Outside the city centre, hence quiet but easy to get to and from the centre by bus. Just remember to either pre-purchase your bus tickets or have the exact fare (as they do not give change on the buses). Our host was lovely and even made use a "take-away" breakfast for the morning when we did a bus trip and had an early start. Will stay again when next in Edinburgh. ##### nerida Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Joe Jul 6, 2018 #### Another night away I cannot comment about this establishment as when I arrived I was told I was staying at The Acorn Lodge which was very good ##### Joe Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Gp Jun 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities La posizione è un po' decentrata ma col bus davanti casa é tutto facile.

Our double bed ensuite room is quite small with no room for large luggages. Beside from the room size, the owners were very nice and allows us to park for the day we checked out to tour Edinburgh old town center, which is definitely not a place you want to drive. There is a bus stop right in front of the lodge . Number 33,49 and 8 takes you to town center. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheena May 18, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel in lovely area We were just staying for a couple of nights as we wanted to go to the Registry Office to look into our family tree. I spotted this accommodation online and it seemed to have a good write up so I went ahead and booked it. The good write up was definitely right as we had a lovely couple of days. The room was lovely and our hosts ( Louis and Ada ) were really nice. The breakfast was first class and plenty of it. We would definitely recommend The Alpha Guest House and if we were through to Edinburgh again we know where we will be staying again. ##### Sheena Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne Jan 4, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic for hopping on bus into Edinburgh ##### Joanne Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Michaela Dec 7, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very efficient service if that is what you are looking for. ##### Michaela ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Best Western Kings Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Kings-Manor-Hotel.h5630.Hotel-Information) > - [Warm & Welcoming Flat near Edinburgh Castle](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Warm-Welcoming-Flat-Near-Edinburgh-Castle.h31859316.Hotel-Information) > - [Miju Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Edinburgh-Lodge.h7724564.Hotel-Information) > - [The Edinburgh Castle Suite](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Edinburgh-Castle-Suite.h23958383.Hotel-Information) > - [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) > - [BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-DogHouse-Edinburgh.h72942233.Hotel-Information) > - [4 Friends House](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-4-Friends-House.h102535323.Hotel-Information) > - [Kick Ass Grassmarket - Adults Only - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kick-Ass-Grassmarket.h29089454.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > - [Beautiful Georgian Flat in Edinburgh - Sleeps 4](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Beautiful-Georgian-Flat-In-Edinburgh-Sleeps-4.h30315362.Hotel-Information) > - [Summer Stays at The University of Edinburgh - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Pollock-Halls.h1083952.Hotel-Information) > - [Destiny Student Murano - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Murano.h12921745.Hotel-Information) > - [Destiny Student Holyrood - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Holyrood.h12691403.Hotel-Information) > - [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > - [JOIVY Quiet Mews Street Apartment in the Heart of Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quiet-Mews-Street-Apartment-In-The-Heart-Of-Edinburgh.h36985561.Hotel-Information) > - [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > - [The University of Edinburgh, Baird House - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-University-Of-Edinburgh.h30551487.Hotel-Information) > - [Grassmarket, Below Edinburgh Castle in Old Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Grassmarket.h36154744.Hotel-Information) > - [JA The Bruntsfield - Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Edinburgh-City-Centre-Bruntsfield-Hotel.h20702.Hotel-Information) > - [Braid Hills Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Best-Western-Edinburgh-South-Braid-Hills-Hotel.h47821.Hotel-Information) > - [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > - [Edinburgh College Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-College-Residence.h95336115.Hotel-Information) > - [Sophisticated Edinburgh Apartment in City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sophisticated-Edinburgh-Apartment-In-City-Centre.h24279114.Hotel-Information) > - [Victorian Townhouse at Stockbridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Victorian-Townhouse-At-Stockbridge.h23803598.Hotel-Information) > - [Unique Stay Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Unique-Stay-Edinburgh.h24050590.Hotel-Information) > - [Kick Ass Greyfriars - Adults Only - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kick-Ass-Greyfriars.h23505147.Hotel-Information) > - [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information) > - [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > - [The Scholar](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Salisbury-Green-Hotel-Bistro.h3911559.Hotel-Information)
