The hotel represents good value for money. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed and linen of excellent quality.

Nice clean room, the shower is small, but I think that is typical. Great location with bus stops right out front, making it very easy to travel into the city. There were several nights we walked back and it really isn't that far. Easy check in/out. Great stay.

Public transit to the property was easy and provided excellent access to Edinburgh. The room itself was very clean and well kept. No complaints whatsoever and was perfect for us!

This place in my opinion is way over priced. No Aircon. Or fan to cool the room. No safe. No fridge, No place to put your clothes.the shower was either to hot or cold..ie cold. You could hear the people in the up stairs room moving about. There are NO staff to ask questions. I did have one issues and called the staff,they turned up after 15 minutes and sorted the issue out. At the price they charge there should be better facilities and staff.

Quiet haven needing some maintenance.
A lovely haven to put your head on a pillow after an exhausting day around Edinburgh. The towel rail is unreachable. The lights for the bedside didn’t work. It was quiet which was fantastic. Great location.

Noisy street, curtains don’t block out the light, no A/C or fan for hot summer nights when room has heated up in afternoon sun. Cold showers and no response from owner when contacted regarding the cold showers. Nice location. But overall would not stay here or recommend.

2/10 Poor

A place to be avoided
Firstly, this not an hotel. To call it 4 stars is scandalous. No curtains, inaccessible blind, tiny bathroom with the cheapest soap, stained chairrs and television that didn’t fonction…

Fairly comfortable stay at Alison House. A couple of things I would suggest is to have a ‘Do Not Disturb’ door sign for those who do not with to have house keeping at the crack of dawn. Also for those that like to get ready in front of a mirror, there is no dressing table which made things awkward. Cleanliness was okay. On our last morning we were rudely awoken by some very loud and inconsiderate guests. We didn’t require any help during our stay however there was nobody in person to ask for help other than a ring doorbell. The surrounding area is nice and out the way of the hustle and bustle of the city. Parking should be more explained on the advertisement as there’s only room for 3 cars really.
