Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Great inn located by walk of everything. The staff was amazing and friendly. The free breakfast does the job and also had a wine and cheese evening when arrived. Definitely would go back and recommend. The room I had needed a little upgrade and refresh but for the price and location, that was perfect.

Our group stayed at the Alexander Inn for three nights and had a great experience. The location is wonderful with easy walking distance to many restaurants as well as the sightseeing buses (3 blocks away). The staff especially Tina and Sharena at the front desk made our stay extra special. They were so warm and helpful. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The breakfast room was available for social time for our group of 12. I highly recommend the Alexander for visitors and for family reunions.

The hotel is in a lovely old building and nicely kept Nairobia, was not exactly the friendliest or nicest receptionist. The room was extremely small and a little dusty. You have to pay $44.00 in parking minus the 10% the hotel gives you. The mattress was like a rock. The neighborhood is great; very LGBT and there are nice restaurants. It’s also a quieter area of the city.

My first thought was to change our reservation to leave early. A small hotel in a huge city, when I’m used to life in suburbia? I’m glad we stayed for the entire time we were in Philly! It is located on a busy street, but other than the occasional siren, we heard no street noises. Our room was on the 4th floor, close to the elevator: we heard no hallway traffic or elevator noises. A small, continental breakfast was enough to get us going for the day. Travel cups were available for coffee were ready too (way better tasting than a chain shop down the street!). There was a evening social time with wine and snacks that was advertised while we were there (made it to one, didn’t get back early enough for other nights). It is located down the street from the Reading Terminal and a walk away from most other downtown sites. We planned on two days playing tourist downtown, knocked all sites off in one day that gave us a free day to venture outside the city. Only downer was no on site parking, but a discounted rate at a garage nearby. All staff we encountered were incredibly helpful!

Very comfortable old hotel walkable to convention center. Room was on the small side but that wasn't an issue. Very clean and well maintained, friendly and helpful staff. Continental breakfast included. Highly recommended.

Location was fantastic ! Most places are well within walking distance. Parking is off site so the location matters. The hotel had a recommended parking garage, but we ended up parking under the hospital a few blocks away on spruce, for a little less. Our room was on floor 6, which gave a nice view of Philly. There was a wine and cheese social both nights we stayed. Breakfast is normal hotel food. Bed was very comfortable and extra pillows were in the room. Staff was very friendly. We will stay here again next time we travel to Philly.

Excellent staff that cares about you. Great stay if you have a loved one in the hospital. I have stayed at the Alexander Hotel before and that is why I selected it again. It is an perfect location for many nice eating establishments within walking distance. It's only six blocks to the Liberty Bell. Always had a nice stay.

The Alexander Inn is an older but very charming hotel. It is located within easy walking distance of all the historical sites and tourist spots. The rooms were a bit small but very comfortable. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There is a very nice continental breakfast and on some days a wine and cheese party in the afternoon.

Pleasant inn. Great staff. Breakfast is more than expected. The 'cabin room' is small but more than adequate for a solo traveler. Very comfortable even in the July heat wave. Location is good: Several good restaurants nearby. Laundromat a few blocks away. Bus system worked for me.
