Alexander Hotel is set in a vast land, that enable guests to go for long walk, within the compound. The Hotel interior is quite beautiful and modern, and the and ambience. It caters to all type of guests with different amenities. During our stay, there was Art and Craft activities, and various items to purchase. The spicy dinner platter and Burger meal we had was tasty, (the chicken wings needs more seasoning). The tortilla was also very nice and crunchy. There were lots of activities to keep one busy, within the Hotel - the Gym, swimming pool and sauna were all good and clean. Breakfast was excellent. I truly enjoyed the waffle, Cumberland sausage and baked bean. The staff were helpful, pleasant and with a smile, ready to assist. Well done guys!

Really nice hotel. The people working there are superb. I cannot fault anyone that I interacted with. It’s such a shame that this hotel is due to close in February. Definitely visit before it does.

Having booked thìs property several times over the past 3 years for business and social trips, I have never been charged to take my dog who is small and well behaved. I arrived to the hotel and the booking was confirmed then an additional charge of £25 was required for the dog, it had never been before. For this reason alone I've awarded four stars only. It should be clearer when booking initially.

It was nice and had some facilities. I would like to have more varied food. Some things were missing in the room but once I responded it, it was dealt with on the day. I would stay again though.
