Great staff. The property itself needs some money putting into it. It’s kind of lacking direction and needs sprucing up
Breakfast needs better attention, just get 3 more coffee machines and present the food better

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.

Older building (1876) but still in good shape for the most part though some repairs to exterior are in order. The breakfast is consistantly good. Modern bathroom and TV options. Absolutely unbeatable location. Alexandra is literally a moment away from shopping, the train (including the Jacobite) dining and the main road. So glad we chose Alexandra, will gladly return!

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.

Breakfast is dismal. The room is functional, but overcrowded with unnecessary furniture and just sort of sad, unattractive. Overall the place is depressing.
