This place is THE reality check for budget travelers in London. The Dollar to Pound exchange rate is abysmal, so if you are too proud to bunk down in a hostel, be prepared to budget more or you will end up in some place just like this. The room was cramped, like a closet with a bed shoved in, with... more

I made a Hotel reservation on November 16 at Alexander House to stay for one night on December 31 due to flight layover from Rome. When I arrived, the attendant told me that my reservation was canceled. I found myself, my 8 year old daughter and my wife out in the streets on a cold and rainy night looking for... more

We got there and got told that there is one reception for five hotels, and that they also share the rooms, so we were to stay in a different one, but that it was exactly the same. After booking nearly a month before a double room, they only had a single, and... more

Dirty, unclean, and tiny! no way 2 people could sleep there and I swear I've been camping all my life and even slept in bus stations and... more

Reserved a double room @ Alexander House Hotel on Hugh Street in advance and after arriving in London found out the owners owned 5 Hotels on Hugh Street and we were shown to a different hotel than the one we reserved. The BB's are clean(looked at 3 of them) but very small, dark, and cramped spaces. If you are looking... more
