Did not see any staff. Book in was by door bell and could not understand person. Television did not work. No facilitiies for food or breakfast. Only one cafe in area, the earl grey cafe, which was very good and we would recommend
Room was clean and bed sheets were clean. Managed to get one of two parking spaces.
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.
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.

Not any communication the man just gave us the key at went.
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
The proprty was lovely inside & out. The room we had for 3 of us was beautiful and clean and we will be coming back next year. Thsnk you

Bad.
1. Care taker, was not able to speak English. He spoke to me in a Chinese language.
2. Care taker was quite intimidating towards me.
3. I had a rat in my wall which was scratching both nights. Audio recording available.
4. Someone entered my room during the day but only emptied my waste and left it on the floor (see photo)
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!
Great for what I was looking for - an overnight stay within walking distance of Napier Merchiston campus, but I would have loved to have had breakfast as an option.
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
