Lovely stay at the Alex

We had a comfortable and lovely experience at The Alex. Great location, clean and stylish rooms and friendly staff. The breakfast buffet was a bit pricier than other places we have stayed so we opted not to include it in our stay. Overall, wonderful trip!

Really lovely hotel in a great location

Really nice hotel, great location. Unfortunately no rooms were available ahead of check in time but that's only a nice to have and they very quickly offered to store our bags. The communal area and rooms are all very fresh, clean and comfortable and it's clearly been well maintained. Would definitely recommend and will stay again
