The room was clean enough, but the “superior double” wasn’t superior. The hotel is showing its age and needs a refresh. The walls in our room were very thin and I could hear next door showering in the early hours like they were in our bathroom - we could also hear them on the toilet. We were above the bar, so on the first night we were treated to the noise of the entertainment / karaoke until 10:30pm. As stated the room was clean enough,, it was just dated. The location is very good for the town centre or the train station. Parking was ok but a few large potholes to navigate in the car park and spaces are limited. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. We were £172 per night with no breakfast it’s very expensive for what it is. Would I stay here again? Not by choice.

I want to share this with tourists traveling to Scotland. Most of the hotels in the Highlands is like stepping back in time. The Alexander is no exception. For the price of the room I think they are taking advantage of tourist traveling in the area. So here’s the gist. The front seat person was kind and very friendly. No complaints there. No Air Conditioning in all of the hotel. TV utilized and antenna only handful of channels. Requested king or UK double room. Ended up with twin size beds. I am 6’2 feet hung over the end of bed. Bathroom seemed remodeled however the tub was very chipped. Breakfast came with room. However they ran out of food. All I was able to do at was pourage and white toast. For a hotel that caters to foreign tourist they must update the entire hotel. What might be right for someone living in the UK it is not the same around the rest of the world. Get rid of all twin beds. Add AC and make sure a proper breakfast is provided. This location is at best a youth Hostel.

The room size is fine for a solo traveler but the electrical outlet was no where near the bed since its an old fashioned style room. Do not expect modern appliances to be easily accessed from the outlets. Sink is in the main room instead of bathroom. Tub was brand new and looked recently replaced, but nothing around it was updated like panels or plumbing. If you like the historic feel and just need a place to crash, its fine. Very close to lots of restaurants and just across street from train station.

Not impressed

Nice room but rather indifferent welcome. Rather bland breakfast for the high price paid. Basically a coach tour hotel with high prices for indivybookings but you get a coach tour group breakfast. OK place with a nice enough room and convenient for the station but wouldn't return if I could avoid it.

What a run down property. The entire place needs renovation. Lifts didn’t work, you can’t open the windows so absolutely no ventilation. The mattress, sheets and carpets were way past their lifecycle. Bath tub didn't drain well… Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere.
