    At breakfast, diners were having to constantly approach staff due to lack of cereal bowls/plates/clean juice glasses, etc, and they also had to request further supplies of some of the cooked items, as well as butter portions, marmalade, etc. Staff should be frequently checking all of above and shouldn't have to be prompted.

    Adequate clean, cosy room, comfortable beds & pillows, clean toilet. Good availability of parking space. Good selection on offer for breakfast. Good location.

    Rooms were far to hot, asked to turn heating down and they said they couldn’t, the area we stay I. Near rear of hotel was extremely hot compared to other areas and made it hard to sleep, £16 breakfast was poor too

    The bedroom was a bit tired and especially in the bathroom. The shower wasn’t the best, old fashioned mixer tap and you had to be careful it didn’t scald you so basically had to have cool shower.

    The Alexandra hotel is nice and central. Staff were friendly and the evening meal was good. The room was large though it would benefit with upgrading now.

    Rooms comfortable enough but certainly not exceptional. Staff not overly friendly particularly the bar staff. Breakfast was very decent and didn’t eatin the evening so no comment.

    I was disappointed that breakfast was not included in the price of £142.50, as it was quoted as Breakfast costs £14.50 per person per night. Yet someone walking into the hotel reception as a new customer on Monday, I witnessed was offered a single room at £90 without breakfast and £100 with breakfast.

    The hotel looks a bit run down. When I arrived there were buckets in Reception to catch leaks from the ceiling which I hooked about but no apology or reason was given. Decor in my room looked a little tired with wallpaper joins all lifting and the worktop in the bathroom coming away underneath as it rotted. That said, it was all very clean, just not great decor. The Bistro staff could have been more attentive (I waited 15 minutes after being seated before anyone came to take my order though the staff seemed under-worked at that time).

    The room was large and comfortable and the hotel is very close to the station but overlooking an attractive green and the Loch, with mountains behind it. The breakfast buffet was good and the Bistro food was tasty. Reception staff were helpful.

    The gorgeous, old building is ‘tired’ and needs a little TLC. The bathroom looked fairly new and tastefully decorated but the door was nasty and old. Reception desk could do with a make-over. The location is great! Many shops are near by as well as restaurants, bars and supermarkets.

    Choice for breakfast was very good and there was plenty to choose from. Room was large and very comfy. Location is ideal for getting to various parts of this part of Scotland, whether it’s by car or using the train station opposite the hotel.
