Weekend Conference at Caird Hall.
Stayed for 4 nights last month and found the Guest House to be comfortable. Latitha was a very nice host and nothing seemed too much trouble, even accommodating my request for very early breakfast on the day of departure. Would certainly stay there again if I have reason to go to Dundee.

Pretty good considering what you pay for it
Was travelling for a couple of shifts in Dundee, good location, close to city centre and hospital, helpful landlord, let me check in at late hours.The room is basic but there is plenty, and appeared to be clean. This guest house is pretty good considering what you pay for it.

Great homely guest house
Homely, clean and well serviced hotel. Good variety of breakfast available for additional £3 per day which was worth it. It would have been perfect if the room had an en-suite bathroom.

Just what was required
Very quiet and clean. The room had everything I required. Visiting relatives nearby over the Christmas period, Alcorn guest house was just what I required. Lelita was friendly and welcoming.

Hyggeligt B&B i Dundee
Vi boede i familieværelset på 1. sal. Det var hyggeligt, rent og med god plads. Pænt bad/toilet en suite, og med ekstra bad/toilet til rådighed lige udenfor værelset. Meget venlig og hjælpsom vært, Bill, der passede stedet for ejeren. Busserne holder på Perth Road, 2 min. gang fra huset. Alcorn House får vores varmeste anbefalinger :-)

Incheckning
När vi kom till hotellet var värdinnan ute och åt middag och skulle komma tillbaka 1.5 Tim senare. Vi fick rådet att gå ut och äta först så skulle hon komma . Dessutom var rummet onödigt dyrt och speciellt med tanke på att vi tvingades checka in sent

Kodikas B&B lähellä Dundeen yliopistoa
Alcorn sijaitsee sopivasti Dundeen yliopiston läheisyydessä. Iloitsin erityisesti B&Bn omistajan aloitteellisuudesta liittyen opiskelijoiden arjen aloitteluun. Alcornista saimme tiedon astioiden ostospaikoista vuokra-asuntoihin. Kaiken kaikkiaan paikassa on mukava kodinomainen tunnelma. B&B on erittäin siisti ja hyvin hoidettu.
