A special thank you to Megi at the front desk. Her warm welcome made us feel comfortable right away. It was great to be greeted by a Greek staff member who really cared about our experience. We will definitely come back!

The Hotel cleaning standard is very high, the rooms are immaculate. We also enjoyed a more spacious room than we have experienced in other hotels at a higher price.
Limited hours for room service, we could not get toast and tea sent up before noon when room service opens. Arriving from an overseas night flight and struggling with a 5 hour time change wrecks havoc on your meal times.

The hotel itself and our room were lovely. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. The staff at check in were very friendly and helpful. The hotel wasn't in a busy/noisy area, but was just a 10-15 minute walk to the main attractions.
We don't have any complaints at all about our stay!

A quick visit to the Gingerman Pub right across from the hotel to see their Christmas decorations topped off a great stay!

Breakfast was good, staff were lovely, room overall clean, a few minor cleaning issues, just wasn't 100% and a few things missed around bathroom but still nice room and we had a lovely staff
I’ve stayed here a number of times & always find the check in a little bit impersonal/cold. Like I’m at a cheap chain hotel. It’s the only part that lets the hotel down.
Friendly and helpful staff, very nice appointed rooms, and a wonderful location.
Everything was fine

The Alex looked as equally beautiful on the outside as it did on the inside. The decor was classy and welcoming. The staff were polite and friendly. They asked us the usual questions when checking in - where are you from, is it your first time, what are your plans etc but they genuinely looked like they were interested. We were given a complementary upgrade at check in which was a bath robe & slipper. This just added to the wonderful experience we had. I don’t know whether this is a usual thing or if it was because we checked in on Valentine’s Day?
The rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated, the bed was comfy and the food in the restaurant (breakfast) was gorgeous with something for everyone and very reasonably priced.
I would definitely go again and I would definitely recommend The Alex to anyone.
Everything was amazing.
