Location, right on the bus line.

Host wasn’t too warm and friendly. Limited parking. Had to park on side street where diarrhetic squirrels poo-bombed our car. Small room.

"Clean, affordable comfort close to the center of Edinburgh."

10.0

The Alexander Guest House is clean, comfortable and convenient for a visit to Edinburgh. The location is quiet and a short distance from the centre of town with plenty of busses or a pleasant walk.

"Overnattingsstedet hadde en veldig god beliggenhet, med enkel tilgang til det meste med buss. Komforten kunne imidlertid"

4.0

Jeg likte spesielt beliggenheten. Overnattingsstedet lå svært praktisk til, og det var enkelt å komme seg rundt med buss. Alt jeg ønsket å besøke var bare en kort busstur unna, noe som gjorde oppholdet praktisk.

Det jeg likte minst var komforten på sengen og putene. Putene var svært harde, og sengen var også hardere enn jeg foretrekker, noe som påvirket søvnkvaliteten. Selv om badet og sengetøyet var rent, opplevde jeg at veggene kunne vært vasket.
