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 19 Jan 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 #### Kate 22 Oct 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 16 Jun 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 4 May 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 #### vanessa 24 Sept 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 6 Jul 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 26 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities La posizione è un po' decentrata ma col bus davanti casa é tutto facile.

Our double bed ensuite room is quite small with no room for large luggages. Beside from the room size, the owners were very nice and allows us to park for the day we checked out to tour Edinburgh old town center, which is definitely not a place you want to drive. There is a bus stop right in front of the lodge . Number 33,49 and 8 takes you to town center. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheena, Arbroath 18 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely hotel in lovely area We were just staying for a couple of nights as we wanted to go to the Registry Office to look into our family tree. I spotted this accommodation online and it seemed to have a good write up so I went ahead and booked it. The good write up was definitely right as we had a lovely couple of days. The room was lovely and our hosts ( Louis and Ada ) were really nice. The breakfast was first class and plenty of it. We would definitely recommend The Alpha Guest House and if we were through to Edinburgh again we know where we will be staying again. ##### Sheena ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne 4 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic for hopping on bus into Edinburgh ##### Joanne ### 6/10 Okay #### Michaela 7 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very efficient service if that is what you are looking for. ##### Michaela ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h7734202.Hotel-Information) > > [Heeton Concept Aparthotel Edinburgh Queen Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Native-Edinburgh.h24151306.Hotel-Information) > > [Apex Grassmarket Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Apex-Grassmarket-Hotel.h62750.Hotel-Information) > > [CODE - The Court, Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-CoDE-Pod-Hostels-THE-CoURT.h36150915.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Edinburgh Murrayfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Edinburgh-Murrayfield.h579949.Hotel-Information) > > [Fingal - A Luxury Floating Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Fingal.h38753319.Hotel-Information) > > [The Balmoral Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Balmoral-Hotel.h9339.Hotel-Information) > > [The Roseate Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Roseate-Edinburgh.h1381332.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, Edinburgh, West End](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-West-End.h4435260.Hotel-Information) > > [Destiny Student Shrubhill - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Destiny-Student-Shrubhill.h12691487.Hotel-Information) > > [House of Gods Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-House-Of-Gods-Royal-Mile.h38206083.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Mount-Royal-Hotel-Edinburgh-By-The-Unlimited-Collection.h802180.Hotel-Information) > > [Goblin Ha'](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Goblin-Ha.h9843141.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h4035314.Hotel-Information) > > [Quartermile serviced apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Quartermile-Serviced-Apartments.h74811613.Hotel-Information) > > [Virgin Hotels Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Virgin-Hotels-Edinburgh.h74635444.Hotel-Information) > > [a&o Edinburgh City - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Ao-Edinburgh-City.h1594761.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison Edinburgh City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Malmaison-Edinburgh-St-Andrews-Square.h38786208.Hotel-Information) > > [St Christopher's Edinburgh Old Town - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-St-Christophers-Edinburgh-Old-Town.h45754941.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Edinburgh.h7728219.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Edinburgh - Royal Terrace by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Voco-Edinburgh-Royal-Terrace.h4895.Hotel-Information) > > [100 Princes Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-100-Princes-Street.h74521691.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Edinburgh.h115987.Hotel-Information) > > [Point A Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Point-A-Hotel-Edinburgh-Haymarket.h37166264.Hotel-Information) > > [Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Wilde-Apartments-By-Staycity-Grassmarket.h39822833.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Edinburgh.h4198.Hotel-Information) > > [BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-DogHouse-Edinburgh.h72942233.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Edinburgh-City-West.h13364.Hotel-Information) > > [The Scotsman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-The-Scotsman-Hotel.h570820.Hotel-Information) ---
