We stayed for one night only but we enjoyed the traditional atmosphere and the friendly hosts. The booking process was fast and easy , the breakfast was very good . Everithing was good but two hundreds characters as the minimum for the review seems to be rally too much; I would suggest to fix the maximum instead of the minimum.

Greeted early by the owner who kindly let us into the room and advised on car parking. There seems to have even a booking mistake with the website we used who arranged a single room instead of a double, the owner quickly swapped things round - no stress. The rooms are clean and modern although the walls are thin. The... More

Lovely little b&b, the owners couldn't be nicer or more helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The location is perfect on the river and walking distance to everything. Off street parking is helpful. Perfect spot to explore a charming town. Bedroom walls are thin but other guests were quiet so wasn't a problem. Breaky was... More

I stayed at the Alexander last week for two nights, and it was one of the most pleasant hotel stays I've had in years. The hosts, Andy and Morna, were very attentive and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. I got a feeling that they care for all their guests similarly. The hotel has... More

Weren't we lucky to find this Guest House. Morna and Andrew were the perfect Hosts, welcoming us to a wonderful warm friendly Guest House with comfortable bedrooms and awesome views over a full racing and tubulent River Ness. 5 mins walk from 'the Islands' to the left, and a 5 mins walk to the Town Centre to the right, yet...

I always try to stay in The Alexander when I'm in Inverness (which I often am, for business). It has a lovely location by the River Ness, and is within easy walking distance of Eden Court, restaurants and the railway station. The breakfasts are wonderful, especially the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the... More

This guest house is stunning - perfect location overlooking the River Ness and just a 5 minute walk into the main town with its abundance of shops and restaurants. The decor is traditionally Scottish yet contemporary and very tasteful. We were checked in by Andrew, one half of the owners, who was friendly and suggested some eating places while carrying... More

Visiting Inverness for a wedding and had two nights in The Alexander. Wonderful welcome from Morna, our host, and we felt almost at home but being well looked after. Excellent room with all the facilities including WiFi which was crucial during our stay. The breakfast room has wonderful views over the River Ness and breakfast was close to Cordon Bleu.
