Alexander Inn

Location is perfect for walking to all the historic sights of Philadelphia. John and his staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and we appreciated having the snacks (fruit and pastries) available at all hours. Beautifully restored historic building in quiet residential neighbourhood. Overall a great value.

A nice clean quaint hotel with lots of character and a superb staff. The continental breakfast included more than the usual so I was pleasantly surprised. I would stay here again and would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Went to Philly for a conference, got a great value for the money! Friendly staff, great value, great location. The amenities are pretty good-there's a small gym downstairs, continental breakfast is ok but there's no sort of protein source other than boiled eggs. Overall very satisfied with my stay. This hotel is right in the gayborhood-a definite nightlife plus. Highly recommend it!

My husband and I needed to be in Phili for 1 day. after careful search through reviews i made my choice to stay at Alexander Inn. our AAA membership finally worked out. The only concern is parking. Hotel doesnt have its own spot, however its partnered with parking garage 3 blocks away. no problem, but it was pouring rain when we got to the hotel and we soaked completely while running those 3 blocks. but room was cozy and comfortable. we are not needy people, so this place was good enough. i would definitely get there again if i ever come back to Phili.

We had a lovely stay at the Alexander Inn. The location was perfect for us. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I loved the neighbourhood too. I would definitely stay there again when I am in Philly.

This place is the best we've stayed in Philadelphia for convenience of location, amenities, and quality of space. We will certainly book it again when practical.

The staff was extremely helpful. Hotel is pristine clean. Though small, the room had everything I needed. It might be a little too small for two people. The Alexander Inn reminds me of a European property. No glitz, attentive treatment, solid management. The location was ideal for my needs.

Loved this hotel! Great location. Walking distance to all the sites. Historic old place well maintained! Lots of charm. Small room but had everything we needed. Breakfast was great too. Not the prepackaged stuff. If you are looking for the large chain type places this is not for you. If you want charm, ombiance, and don't care about the size of your room this is your place.

The staff at this hotel are fantastic. We arrived early Sunday morning and had planned to drop bags at the hotel and sight-see until check-in time but it was pouring down rain. We went to the hotel to seek shelter to find our hotel had lost power. No worries. The staff had the situation completely under control. They gave us coffee and snacks and let us dry out in the Grand Room. A hotel without power could be a time of crisis, but the guests were happy and laughing. The staff was making coffee runs and one gentleman ran home (across the street) and brought back a vat of scrambled eggs for a guest who was grumpy about not being able to shower. They go out of their way here to make you feel at home. I will stay here every time I am in Philadelphia.

Rooms are nothing special, but you're not paying for the rooms -- you're paying for the location, which can't be beat. Across the street from a great beer/wine/cheese bar, and it just gets better from there. Anything you'd want to eat is within 5 blocks, including the Reading Terminal Market.
