Old hotel in good neighborhood. Room was very dated, thought I was in the 70s or 80s. No updates. Street noise loud, stayed on a Friday night. Nightclubs close by. No heat control in room that I could find. Separate A/C unit in exterior wall. Breakfast OK. Would not return.

The Alexander is a very cute boutique hotel with lots of character and charm. They offer a social hour with drinks and snacks included in your stay. Our dogs were greeted with drinking water and treats and everything was very clean. We loved it and would definitely recommend it to friends in the future.

Good stay at quaint hotel
I enjoy older, historic properties, and this hotel fit the bill. It was within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and Philadelphia sights. Given the location, the hotel was pleasantly quiet. The evening social was a nice touch. Bed was a bit hard for my taste. There was only one person working breakfast, so foods were replaced slowly. Given the age of the hotel, the hot water was a little slow and inconsistent. The hotel was kept quite warm, so we had to run the noisy a/c unit in our room for a quite a while to get comfortable.Just be prepared for a little quirkiness.

My stay was very comfortable I came here after a calm night out with a couple buddies. The concierge Selina was very sweet and looked out for me. I booked a queen with a city view and it was nice and roomy, plenty of pillows and breakfast in the morning. I accidentally heard check out was at 12 instead of 11 so I checked out at 11:40 by mistake but everyone was nice and understanding. I like the aesthetic, even though it was in center city the area is within a busy-calmer area which I liked about that too. I’d definitely stay again!

Like that the area was close to public transportation. I did not like that I kept having trouble with flushing the toilet in room 606. I had to go to the front desk three times before the toilet was working properly. The lady at the front desk stated that she would take some money off my bill I have yet to see that happen. She claim that they were all booked and that there was not another room to moved me to.

The property had a bit of an old world vibe both elegant and cozy like a hotel in Europe. A lovely and ample breakfast was provided. Loved your friendly and helpful staff. I would definitely come back when in Philadelphia.

Nobody around when we tried to check in at 9pm. Eventually, somebody showed up to help. Get to the room and the key doesn't work - go back to front desk and nobody there again. The breakfast is very poor - mainly stale bagels and pastries. Room is small, dated, and has poor sound insulation to adjacent rooms and general building noise. The only positive is the location is good and central. Not what I would expect for a 3 star hotel
