Bathroom looked newly redone, everything worked perfectly. Good location within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bus line. Parking is mostly street parking a block away. Property is self-check-in, very easy! ##### Kimberly Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Delwyn Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved my room here (number 7). 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.

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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jonathan Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Room was very clean, except for dirty spot on the carpet, which might have been gum or a cigarette burn. The extractor fan was very noisy but i fixed that by removing a wad of dust. The shower door wasn't attached at the top, but was still functional. The lever to adjust shower temp was broken. Snoring from next room was annoying. ![Very ugly spot in the middle of the carpet.

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.
