Alexander House And Utopia Spa

It’s a nice property but does not really achieve a 5 star level. The building is very nice but the interior design lacks the level of elegance of a 5-star property. We stayed in a garden room in the new building which was very large but not particularly well laid out. The restaurant tables were small and crammed and the food was ok but overpriced.

Very nice hotel surrounded by nature. The staff was absolutely amazing. Greeted when you walk in cared for by concierge. Rooms were clean and property was well maintained. I would definitely recommend and as an extra treat for yourself by going and enjoying some of their great spa services!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Decor and environment was superb but a little tired in places. Rooms were very hot. Spa was too busy to use when wanted.

The spa was not up to basic standards. Steam room was cold. Sauna was cold without water to top it up. Restaurant food was overpriced at £35:£40 per meal. It came cold. When informed staff, food was taken away, warmed under the grill and returned 20 mins later. This was a fish dish, so basically inedible.. The decor was dated and cheap looking. Terrible value for money overall.

Great food and service. Some areas of the property are tired for example the staircase carpet but we did enjoy our stay as the food and service was excellent.

A beautiful building with welcoming log fires. The hotel is very comfortable and every member of staff went out of their way to be helpful with my disabled husband. They were unfailingly cheerful and created a lovely atmosphere.

The stay has been amazing, we haven’t found fault in anything. The food has been great and service throughout the hotel exceptional. The surrounds are beautiful and relaxing. The only thing I will mention about the spa towels were left on chairs all around with no one using them, this made seating very limited.

Our Garden Suite was fabulous but food main courses were cold, extremely slow service, for desserts and drinks at spa. Relaxation room cold and disappointing 85min massage.

Unfortunately it wasn’t the 5 star experience we are used to when staying at Alexander house when it came to the room and restaurant. The staff are all amazing though and will immediately fix any issues raised. Was just shame on first impressions when walking into a very tired room which was nowhere near worthy of a 5 star category - even if it was the basic room. We had a broken iron, broken plug sockets, wallpaper peeling from ceiling and walls, cracks apparent everywhere and just very tired woodwork/tiles throughout. Management were great and moved us to a junior suite for the trouble and were also in agreement with us. As for the restaurant, there were also issues here. We ordered the £100 cote du beouf, which not only came out to us 50 minutes after ordering, but was stone cold along with all of the side dishes. It took another 2 attempts to get this right, the second time the waiter said he didn’t even bring it out to us when he checked the temperature first. I guess third time lucky is always a charm but obviously we were waiting well over an hour by now for our food. The manager was kind enough to give us the bottle of wine we ordered on the house for the issues. We were celebrating joint birthdays (big 40) so it was a bit of a shame to experience the above, but the staff did what they could to still make it special so thank you.

Beautiful property both inside and out with nice parking

Just had a wonderful stay at Alexander House. The room was amazing, the Spa was excellent and the staff were really friendly. I'll definitely return again.

Great stop over close to Gatwick. Beautiful pools at the spa to help with jet lag Great dining options

Stunning

This place was better than expected no need to leave the property! Wish we did 2 nights here

Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings .

Couldn't fault the place. Fantastic

Beautiful property. Pricey dining but t just ok food. Need reservations. Time rooms with late start breakfast. No under 18 allowed at any of the spa facilities which wasn’t clear on website and very much limited our experience

Beautiful hotel. Great service. Loved it!

It was far below a 5-star experience
