Bigger than other single rooms I had on my trip, beautiful wallpaper, window seat, lovely view of Arthurs Seat. Bathroom was small and the water pressure wasn't great. Bus stop to town just across the road. Be aware it's at least 10 mins walk to the nearest shop. ##### Delwyn Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Annette Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The beds were comfortable and check in and check out were hassle free. We were able to drop off our luggage before check in so we could see Edinburgh without worrying about bags. Transportation is right out the front door making it easy to jump on and off the bus to get to and from the Royal Mile. ##### Annette Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely accommodation, the bed was very firm. Good location, close to buses that go into the city centre. Only two car parks but there's parking on the street behind. ##### Megan Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Aug 26, 2024 Clean and comfortable and quiet. ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Large rooms!

The room was quite nice, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light that made it feel spacious. The neighborhood was convenient and safe and overall we were really happy with our stay. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Seoras Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed my stay at the Alexander guest house. For a cheap price for 2 nights in Edinburgh city, this was a perfect place to stay. The owner was friendly and helped with any issues I encountered. The other staff was also extremely helpful and helped me get back into my room after i locked my key inside in the middle of the night ##### Seoras Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Megan Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness The property was very clean and beds were quite comfy. Very easy to get into the city centre with direct buses nearby. The only complaint was in our room the frame of the bed looked half finished and we were unable to find a switch for the side lamps. ##### Megan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George May 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It served our needs. We got a good nights rest and the beds were very comfortable. Wish there was better parking but we made do. Signage was hard to locate as the sign was in green and writing in gold and hard to see. Maybe sign needed to be bigger or backlit too. We will be staying here again in a week so now we will know where it is! ##### George Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jocelin Jun 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was very clean and allowed us in our room early. The only thing I was missing was a fan in the room. There wasn’t a lot of circulation in the room and having to keep curtains closed due to sunlight, it would become hot in room. A small fan would help this. Overall, the room is very nice and right along the bus line to catch into town. Very convenient for traveling. ##### Jocelin Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Joel May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Beautiful old building. Great area. Rooms were quite nice and clean. Just no staff were ever present in our three night stay. An elderly couple who couldn’t speak English sat in the front lobby, often. I’m not sure if they worked there cleaning rooms or were a guest but if the worked there they made no attempt to communicate or help out, which was an issue because the front door to the building on a busy street was always left open ##### Joel Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camila Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay! The room was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was inside the room itself, which is great. The shower head had a problem causing some of the water to spray in the wrong direction (my face). I hope that this is fixed because it wastes water and could be solved rather easily . We had no contact with the any staff members, but we received enough information to do the check-in and check-out without having any issues. ##### Camila Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tahlia Jun 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service A good location and felt safe. The check in process was difficult in that we had to ring an intercom twice and were told our passcode number to obtain our key through this intercom. There was no phone number on the Expedia app or online to ring in advance to confirm any booking, etc. ##### Tahlia Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Henrietta Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property was well cared for. My room was very clean with tea and coffee and useful items such as hand soap and hairdryer. I could have ironed a shirt too. Check in process very easy, just felt a bit odd that I saw no-one at all either staff or other guests! Would stay there again as very convenient. ##### Henrietta Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald Oct 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Not many shops nearby however the public transit system is excellent ##### Ronald Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael Nov 16, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities No garden to speak of.

Only met the staff very briefly and check in hence the 4 staffs but everything was fine with enough tea and coffee. Would be great if they did breakfasts ##### Josephine Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Holly Sep 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beds and pillows are not great.

These are quite common in Edinburgh, and there are quite a few of them in the same area. Recently renovated and clean. The other guests were all quite which was nice. A short distance from the action of the Royal Mile, about 10 min by buses that run ever few minutes. WiFi was very slow, but other then that it was a great place to stay and I would stay here again. ##### Dave Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Hotel-Spa.h15554.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Edinburgh Carlton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hilton-Edinburgh-Carlton.h1648.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Edinburgh - Royal](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Motel-One-Edinburgh-Royal.h5333965.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Waterloo Place Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Waterloo-Place-Hotel.h2278092.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-City-Of-Edinburgh-Hotel.h800968.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Edinburgh-Marriott-Hotel.h873944.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Aparthotel-Adagio-Edinburgh-Royal-Mile.h16281979.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Town Chambers, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Cheval-Old-Town-Chambers.h6175181.Hotel-Information) > > [Ten Hill Place](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ten-Hill-Place.h1535542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h4270.Hotel-Information) > > [Market Street Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Market-Street-Hotel.h29507352.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-InterContinental-Edinburgh-The-George.h20436.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Edinburgh Centre St Andrew Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Edinburgh-Centre-St-Andrew-Square.h7841147.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-South-Bridge-Royal-Mile.h6793484.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Locke](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Eden-Locke.h17859332.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile – Hunter Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ibis-Edinburgh-Centre-Royal-Mile-Hunter-Square.h200875.Hotel-Information) > > [Holyrood Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holyrood-Aparthotel.h561406.Hotel-Information) > > [Fraser Suites Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fraser-Suites-Edinburgh.h2278102.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Edinburgh Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Novotel-Edinburgh-Centre.h982662.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-Centre.h1088215.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Radisson-Collection-Hotel.h2775480.Hotel-Information) > > [Kimpton Charlotte Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edinburgh-Hotels-Kimpton-Charlotte-Square-Hotel.h571654.Hotel-Information)
