left feeling it was too expensive for what was provided. Didnt have the much talked about soap in the room so had to ask for it and it turned out to be a sugar cubed size soap bar. Breakfast was in a nice setting but seemed to be just eggs eggs eggs and was okay but not great not sure... More

the website photos do not do the public rooms justice. they have beautiful original features. the B&B is very warm and cosy with beautiful views over the River Ness. it is within easy walking distance of the town. the B&B has parking but the gate is closed at 9pm. parking on the street is by meter but free between 4pm...

I would like to thank the reviewer for his comments. All parking information is clearly displayed on the terms and conditions page of our website and it really should not come as any surprise to any guest when they get here. Many of our guests appreciate that we have secure parking. The gate is closed by 9pm as at this... More

We stayed at The Alexander in August 2011 and were disappointed with the size of our bedroom which was on the small side for £94 for a single night. We were also hoping for a better view. Having said that the owners were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was amazing. Very delicious Scottish home cooked food at it's... More

We are one of the few Guest Houses in Inverness to hold an AA Breakfast Award and we always work hard to ensure our guests enjoy this. I am sorry the guests were disappointed with the view of...

My fiance and I have stayed at the Alexander twice now and are planning to do so for a third time next week. This bed and breakfast is infallible. Fiona and Graham are the nicest, most welcoming people. The Alexander sits only a few metres from the banks of Loch Ness in such a picturesque setting right in the middle... More

Wonderfully comfortable beds, spotless rooms, delicious breakfasts (try the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, made with eggs from the happiest hens on the planet) - what more could you ask for? Choose a front room, and you've got the most delightful view of the river, complete with twinkling lights on the trees outside. We always stay here when we're in... More

We were a group of friends and found a wonderfully warm and friendly haven. Fiona was welcoming and made our stay relaxing and hassle free. The weather was terrible and she didn't mind us being in the lounge as long as we needed to be. My room was huge, if I have a complaint the shower room was small. 100%... More

We stayed here just one night after a long trip from London on the train, on our way into the Highlands and Islands. We got a taxi from the station as we had heavy cases, but could easily have walked. The room we had was "the best in the house" according to the owner. It was nice and big, with... More

I loved it. Graeme and Fiona were utterly charming. My room was fabulous- top floor with a view of the river and sunset. The breakfast was sublime - the best I had in Scotland. The amenities were lovely. They have wireless internet and left shortbread cookies in the room. I'd recommend this to everyone - including my parents, who will... More

I've stayed here many times over the past few years - The Alexander is always the highlight of any trip to Inverness! It is an immaculate, comtemporary haven. It is situated on the banks of the River Ness - a couple of minutes walk from Inverness city centre, or indeed from the bridges to the other side, where the theatre... More

The Alexander is a well run, conveniently located, immaculate and very attractive guest house. I loved the way the airy, modern finishes complemented the original Victorian elements. The breakfast is delicious and beautifully presented. Try to get a room in the front overlooking the Ness. The view from the elegant bay window in our room was stunning! More
