A very little and cute hotel near the city. Tidy. Quiet. Comfortable. Good breakfast. Cheap. Only 15 minutes to downtown. A good option in Edinburgh.

Nice guest house with a good breakfast. Very pleasant owner, however my room wasn't in the main house and I was a single female in a building of men - felt a bit vulnerable!! The room was clean although needs some attention as does the en suite with its cracked sink and old shower. Overall experience not bad for 1... More

The hosts were brilliant, offering advice on travel, locations, restaurants and even went out of their way to book taxi's for us. (my father is slightly handicapped ) I would recommed this establishment to anyone... More

Just spent a fabulous weekend in Edinburgh and stayed at the Alpha Guest House. Superb small guest house, exceptionally friendly welcome, lovely clean facilities.
