Alexander Hotel

Very nice stay. The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and will be staying again soon. The staff were very professional and helpful. The location is perfect for the Pleasure Beach Resort and the beach. Will be planning to stay again soon.

The rooms were clean, however the family room is 3 floors up and not ideal with 2 small children. The rooms were very small but functional. To have a hot shower we had to run the hot tap in the sink first to get it to work. The bar that was advertised on the website was not open. Any polite customer service received during our stay ended when we left. After initially agreeing to post back some belongings left in our room the owner Anamaria later changed her mind informing us that she was too busy to post them and that we would need to make the 600 mile round trip to collect them within 6 weeks if we want them back. Despite informing Anamaria that we can not come back to collect them and Anamaria being aware of the sentimental nature of some of the belongs she has continued to inform us that she is too busy. We have made numerous offers to cover any and all costs of them being posted back including covering any costs associated with Anamaria's time and advising Anamaria that there is no immediate time frame for their return, despite this Anamaria has continued to say she is too busy to return them as initially agreed. Additionally to this a week after we left and despite numerous communications the owner requested £40 to fix a toilet seat in our room that she said we had broken, however this was not broken when we left and she had not mentioned in any of our previous communications.

Very welcoming hotel with modern rooms and comfortable bed. The staff were very helpful and it was a pleasure to stay at the hotel. The area is very quiet . The hotel is two minutes from the Pleasure Beach Resort and the South Pier. I will be definitely be staying again in the future.

One of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had! We entered the building and were greeted by an old, run down, musty hallway. The owner then insists we cancel our booking on *********** and pay her directly as a personal payment, I never like to do this as it’s dangerous for the customer if there’s a problem, but she insists it’s the only way we can have our rooms. She then takes us to our rooms and I’m greeted by the smallest bedroom I’ve ever seen. It was advertised as a double room but it’s like staying in a cupboard. Single occupant maybe but it certainly wasn’t fit for a couple. The owner explains she’s had the heating off for 3 days to save on costs, so the room is freezing. The bed is a small double bunk, not a proper double, so me (who is 5ft 3) finds that my feet are firmly touching the wall if I lie down… god help you if you’re taller than me, which most people are. We notice that the room is quite dirty with filthy glasses in the bathroom, dead skin, hair and food particles on the steps leading to the bed and mould streaks in the toilet. As we’re exhausted and it’s getting late, we resign ourselves that we’re hardly going to be in the room and plan to stay out as much as possible. We return later in the evening and my husband attempts a shower, but there is zero hot water and the heating is now off. As he tries to fiddle with the tap, the wet room (which hasn’t been designed properly) starts to leak icy cold water into the bedroom. Angry and exhausted we go to bed and have a thoroughly unpleasant sleep — squashed together and cold. The following morning we wake up at 7am and the room is like an ice box, with no heating. Desperate for a hot shower, I try in vain to get the hot water working but no matter what I do, it’s just cold water. Finally we’d had enough, pack up our things and call the owner. She arrives at 10:30 with this unknown man and he starts fiddling with the shower. I explain how unhappy we are and that we want to leave. She starts arguing with us, despite the fact that we show her evidence (dirty glasses etc) and she’s getting more and more defensive and rude. At no point does she say “I’m sorry you’ve had this experience” she just keeps telling us we’re wrong. At one point laughing at me and calling me “ridiculous”. Terrible customer service! Some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Will I be returning? Never. Would I recommend? Never. Should you risk going here? No, save yourself and look elsewhere. Rude people, dodgy payment/booking experience, weird place, dirty rooms… I have nothing good to say. The photo speaks a thousand words, that was just from me wiping down the top step 🤮

Hotel was very clean and homely. Tea and coffee were available in the room. The room also had a large tv and been freshly renovated. The room view was excellent . The roller coasters from the pleasure beach are in view and can see people enjoying the rides.

Very friendly staff and superb location. Very close to the beach and south pier. Room was clean and had just been renovated. The beach is only 2 minutes' walk from the hotel and the pleasure beach is very close. Wish I could have stayed longer.
