This property is where you want to be if you are visiting Philly without a car. We were able to get to all the tourist type areas on foot, and there are loads of great dining options nearby.

I had a wonderful stay at this small, laid back, charming, old hotel. I stayed in the single room with twin bed, which was cozy and just enough for me. I loved that you can open the room’s windows. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great for walking to restaurants, shopping and points of interest. The continental breakfast was perfect for starting the day. The evening social was a nice wind down from the day’s activities or a prelude to a night out. Special thanks to Jocelyn who hosted the socials and recommended Mixto restaurant for dinner. Thanks also to Xavier at the front desk and the lovely young woman there Monday morning ( name forgotten) for your hospitality and patience in answering my questions. If you’re looking for big, bright, state of the art accommodations, the Alexander Inn is not for you. But if you’re ok with quaint, quirky and simple, then this unassuming little hotel may just be the home away from home that you didn’t know you needed.

A great place to stay in a very lovely part of Philly. Not the most luxury place, but I feel like it exceeded my expectations given how affordable it was. Compared to other hotels at this price point it is above and beyond great.

Beautiful Boutique Stay

The Alexander Inn is perfectly situated for spending a few days in Philly. Our cozy room had a bay window giving us lots of space. Its a. Older property with a designated historic sign outside, so expect it to not be modern. Two drink tickets for the evening social, and a basic but tasty breakfast. Well worth it!

I travel to Philly often for work. I love see to live there so I know the city well. The Alexander is my favorite place to stay. It’s charming, in a perfect area, and not a cookie cutter type chain hotel. Love it.

Great location, some issues

The good to great things: the staff is friendly and very helpful; the hotel is very dog-friendly, if that's your thing; the location is top-notch for the scenes around Center City, South Street, etc. The not-so-good: the Wifi was pretty awful (at checkout they said they are working on this, so hopefully it improves soon); the room we were in had 2 dressers, but no small fridge, which was annoying.
