Overall Ratings & Reviews Alexander Inn

They told us they had breakfast but there were no clean plates for us to use and no breakfast staff or attendant, also no one was at the front desk to assist. One of the reasons we decided to stay was for the breakfast and we had to find somewhere else to go. We stayed the weekend of 7/4 and the streets were so noisy that we had a hard time falling asleep. It seemed like the building had super thin walls. We heard loud music outside, cars/traffic, and mind you, we went to bed at around 2am. Will not be staying there again.

I was just staying overnight while being a tourist in Philly. I picked this hotel because it looked unique and was reasonably priced. The building is old and not a very wide building (only the width of the room and hallway). Because it’s old it was retrofitted with window units which made it hard to get cool enough after a hot day outside. The toiletries were nice, the view was good and the location was convenient. They did have a social hour which was good. Their breakfast was okay. Not a lot of choice offered and the person working that day was a bit grumpy. I’d recommend during the heat of the summer trying to stay on a lower floor.

Good stay

I enjoyed my stay here. Perfect for a solo one night getaway. Room was small but did not feel cramped. I loved the bathroom. Nice shower. Very clean. Had a nice view from window. Lovely happy hour and breakfast.

I only got to stay one night but I was very impressed

Very friendly staff.

I stayed at Alexander Inn during the Football Club World Cup. The hotel is in a beautiful location, close to the City, shopping, bars & restaurants. It’s only 10 minutes subway ride (5 stops) to the Sports Stadiums at NRG. (Phillys, Eagles, 76ers)

Excelente hotel, excelente localização e ótimo custo benefício

Great location, daily breakfast and evening socials were enjoyable.

This a nice, quiet European-style hotel. Its a friendly place in a good location with reasonable prices. The rooms are small, but OK. the public areas show wear and tear (e.g. peeling wallpaper) and badly need refreshing. The major downside for me was not being able to control the air-conditioning. You have to get the front desk person to come up to make any change.

We were in town to see a comedy show. We were able to walk to our show from the hotel. We found several restaurants in the area. The hotel is clean and quiet. The staff was great! We really enjoyed ourselves.

The location was good, the staff was friendly and the room was clean. However, it's in a very old building with poor insulation, and so on a hot day my room was very warm. Also, there is no on site parking, which makes this hotel very expensive for what you get out of it.

Fantastic location and very friendly staff. Internet service however was unacceptable; totally unable to follow or download anything from the internet. Hotel must correct this.

This is a lovely old hotel in a fabulous section of Philadelphia. They've done wonderful updates so it is historic but somewhat modernized and tasteful. I have stayed here before but did not get there in time to enjoy the complimentary happy hour. I truly enjoyed it this time. And the included breakfast is one of the best I've ever had at a hotel. When caveat - Don't take them up on their offer for a discounted parking garage. The garage itself is very overpriced, even after their discount. There are other better options within a 5 block radius. Overall fantastic experience and highly recommend.

This hotel is such a gem! Location is perfect, the staff is friendly, place is safe and price is affordable. Absolutely recommend! The breakfast and social gathering is such a nice touch, very appreciated! Will definitely book again!

It’s on a kind of busy street however it’s a nice, walkable neighborhood location near awesome restaurants, the subway and historical points of interest. The inn is a cool throwback in time. It’s clean & just the right amount of quirky and the staff is friendly. There’s a bodega right across the street for snacks, but keep in mind there was no mini fridge or microwave (at least not in my room). Small but adequate continental breakfast daily (wish the coffee was available 24/7) and a wine social in the evenings at the inn. Parking is at a garage about 3 blocks away and can be expensive. We were there over Memorial Day weekend to see Metallica so that may have factored in to the expense of the garage. If you’re in town for a concert or sports event, it’s a quick ride to the stadium venues on the subway. On a side note, you should not double park in front of the inn and go into the inn for checking in or whatever… don’t do this! Just don’t. Don’t even think it. The street is narrow and there is already parking on it and there’s a city bus that runs down that block. I saw 2 separate guests during my stay who did this and the bus just laid down the horn like crazy. it creates a big traffic jam and people who live on the block get (rightfully) pissed off. So be kind and think of the neighborhood. All in all it was a pretty cool stay and I’d definitely go back.

Beautiful, well maintained and very clean hotel in fantastic location. Very good hors d'oeuvres and wine from 5pm to 7pm, and continental breakfast included. Excellent staff.

Ambience yet quite dusty

Loved the neighborhood. We could walk to everything. The social hour and breakfast were above expectations.

I enjoyed staying at the Alexander Inn in Philadelphia. I'll consider staying there in a repeat visit sometime in the future. The television's brightness level was low and I didn't see any way of changing that. That was the only sub-par aspect of the visit -- not that I was watching much of anything that evening. Thanks for the good visit!
