“Dire - STAY AWAY!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010

person found this review helpful

All i can and will say about this place is that despite requesting a double room we were given a converted stairwell with two single beds in it. Not only this. Inside this 'room' (i use the term loosely!) were two doors which could not be locked...the other side of these doors? Stairs to other rooms through one, and an actual other room through the other, leaving us with no option but to push the beds up to the doors in order to make the room safe and secure.

As for the bathroom. More like walk in cupboard full of rust.

Dire. Horrible. Dank. Rubbish food. Horrible staff. Dundee as a city can be summed up by this one horrific B&B.

I am sorry you were not given a double room as requested. The room you stayed is part of a family unit and the two doors should have been locked. I can only apologise and hope your stay will be better next time.

“A nice little guest house.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2010

My partner and I stayed here for one night while at a wedding in Dundee. Having never stayed at guest house before I was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome we recieved. The manager was very friendly and efficient.
Our room was large and had all the facilities needed. We were also provided with a lovely cooked breakfast next morning which was very reasonably priced.
Would use this guest house next time we are back in Dundee.

“A very pleasant place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2010

My boyfriend and I had a very large and well-appointed double room (en-suite) at Alcorn Guest House. The staff was friendly and flexible about check in, breakfast, etc. The beds were very comfortable and noise from other rooms was minimal. We would definitely stay there again if we need to be in Dundee.
