    exploring alexandria's charm from a central base

    I loved that I could walk to the Old Town Theater just a few steps away and Founders Park, a beautiful green space under 1 km away, making my weekend city strolls enjoyable and easy. the room was clean and the bedding was comfortable, which made for a restful night's sleep after a long day of exploring.

    slow service
    lack of in-room coffee

    The hotel exudes charm with comfortable rooms and an inviting rooftop bar. However, managing simple requests like ice took too long, and the lack of in-room coffee makers was inconvenient. Overall, a lovely stay but hope they refine their processes.

    waterfront views
    family-friendly dining
    vibrant streets
    lack of kids' activities

    During our stay, we enjoyed the beautiful waterfront views while exploring Old Town. Taking strolls along the vibrant streets was a highlight, especially with the kids. The hotel's proximity to family-friendly dining options made meal times convenient and delightful.

    My kids wished there were more activities specifically for them.

    Charming, charming, charming.

    The decor throughout the hotel is amazing, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. We indulged in the chef's tasting menu, and it was pure culinary magic from start to finish! The rooftop bar, with views over the city skyline.

    i recently stayed for a night in the superior king room and had a great experience. the staff were incredibly friendly, and the room was comfortable and clean, making it a pleasant stay. the central location allowed easy access to the vibrant alexandria scene, definitely exceeding my expectations.

    expensive breakfast
    small portions

    I recently stayed for one night in the Queen Room with Two Queen Beds and had a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable – we could walk to so many attractions! The room was charming and immaculate, making it a cozy spot after our adventures. The rooftop bar had stunning views and the staff treated us to complimentary drinks, which was a lovely touch.

    Breakfast was a bit pricey for the portion size.

    rooftop bar
    central location
    ice delivery

    The rooftop bar offers a great atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day. Conveniently located near various attractions, everything in the vibrant area is just a short stroll away, making it a solid base for exploration.

    There are no in-room coffee makers, so every morning means trekking down to the lobby for your caffeine fix—not ideal. Ice delivery can take an eternity. you might find yourself waiting around instead of enjoying a nightcap. Access to the building can be tricky at night, with doors locking too quickly—definitely a hassle for anyone carrying luggage or arriving after hours.
