"Inexpensive and Clean" Alexander Hotel London Tip by argentia

This hotel is run by a young couple who also live there. The rooms are very clean, though a little on the small side. Every room has a (small) bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. Many of the rooms have recently been renovated. We stayed in a triple room, which unfortunately was not one of the ones renovated. The washroom smelled a little, though it was not noticed when we closed the door. Full English breakfast is included, and it is more than enough to hold you over for quite a few hours!

The hotel is located in a very quiet neighbourhood. There is a small discount if you pay cash.

Unique Qualities: Excellent location! Being so close to Victoria Station makes it a cinch to get anywhere in London quickly and effeciently. The hotel is just a few blocks from a very large Salisbury supermarket, and several pubs and restaurants. Also nearby are a few theatres if you'd like to catch a show. Within walking distance of Buckingham Palace.
