Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Alexandra Hotel enjoys a superb location, just a short walk from the town center and conveniently close to the train station, including the Jacobite Steam Train. Many guests find the rooms spacious and clean, often featuring necessary facilities and pleasant views. A highlight for many is the excellent restaurant, providing the possibility to have dinner even late, while the Scottish breakfast, particularly the haggis, is widely appreciated. Some guests have noted that the building can appear a little tired in places.
