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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lennart Nov 15, 2019 ##### Lennart Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 30, 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 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 ### 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.

From our arrival through to our departure after a great breakfast could not be faulted! I would definitely come back as the location, value for money and quality of the Guest House was excellent. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 27, 2018 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### vanessa Sep 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Très bon accueil, très chaleureuse.

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 ### 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 ### 8/10 Good #### Gp, Trieste Jun 26, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities La posizione è un po' decentrata ma col bus davanti casa é tutto facile.

(Trotz) Busstop Nr.33+49 genau vor der Tür, 10 Min. fährt der Bus nur die Straße hinauf bis zur Royal Mile im Viertelstd.-Takt. Sehr charmanter u.warmer Empfang. Die Zimmer sind so, wie auf den Fotos, wunderbar! Das Frühstück wird abgefragt und serviert. Yoghurt, Müsli, schott.Frühstück sowie Toast und Marmelade+ Tee+Kaffee u. O-Saft. Sehr lecker, wir waren pappensatt.
