I am working as a Travel Agent based in Italy and I came so often to Edinburgh for business and I Can not BELIEVE what I have just read in the previous comment! I have been at the Alison 20 times and I have to say that the rooms are so well cleaned, staff is extremely helpful especially Richard and... More

It was one of the best guest houses we could find on booking.com for the price and the distance to the city centre (with bus about 5-10 minutes, walking is a little to long). The house looks better from the outside as from the inside. Our room was to tiny for 2 people, sad we didn't get one like on... More

This is one of the best B & Bs we have stayed in. We have been about 5 times now to their 3-day theatre breaks. Anne-Marie, David and Richard are all extremely welcoming, helpful and we just love going. David cooks a wicked breakfast.!! The hotel is very clean, warm and comfortable. It is quiet at night. Just left there... More

Stayed 4 nights. Wonderful accommodation. Location bit far from City Centre but then buses to and from Centre run every few minutes from front of hotel. Cant say enough about the breakfast. Fresh fruit was out of this world. Regular Scottish breakfast simply delicious. Thanks to Richard as well. Owner was gracious and very helpful. Information he provided was a... More

Very clean and staff all helpful. Everything you need is in the room. Short bus ride from city centre. Only limited parking on site - this is the only disadvantage. Fabulous breakfast - excellent value for money. I would highly recommend it and will be staying here again .

My boyfriend and I stayed in Allison for five days and I have to say that it was a great place. The location was nice and quiet yet not far from the city centre. The rooms were clean and the staff was very polite, especially Richard. The breakfast was simply delicious , loved the selection of fruit!I would definitly go... More

Easy off road parking at the front. Welcome includes two small decanters of sherry/whisky in the room - a very nice touch & consumed quickly ! Fantastic breakfast in a wonderful period dinning room with a huge range of fresh fruit (+ raspberries & blueberries), cereals, yoghurts and a great choice of fresh cooked food. Breakfast staff very hospitable and... More

One of the best breakfast selections I’ve seen in a long time. In fact, the selection available would put many more expensive hotels to shame. The hotel is situated a short bus ride from the centre of the city on a main road. There is a bus stop just outside and you can buy a bus pass for the day... More

We stayed for two nights at the end of the Edinburgh Fringe. I was really impressed. The hotel is very conveniently situated- you can walk in 25 mins from the city centre- it's just a straight line. There are also about 8 buses that stop really close by too. Our room was clean with everything that you would expect, plus... More
