The Alexander Thompson Hotel is named after the celebrated Scottish architect "Greek" Thompson and is built in his Greek-revivalist style. The small lobby is simply but traditionally appointed, with an imposing dark wood reception desk and a large staircase leading up to open plan seating area on the first floor. The 85 guestrooms are in fair condition at best, featuring patterned carpets and bed linen, which contrasts pleasingly with the light wood fittings. The hotel offers a cooked Scottish breakfast every morning in the dining room, which is located on the first floor and is decorated in the same slightly heavy traditional style as the rest of the property. Please be aware this is a budget hotel suitable only for those looking for the most basic accommodation - please read reviews.
