Hotel Alexander - Nova Iorque

Can't say exactly why this hotel didn't cut it with me. I've stayed at many other places similar, but this one struck me as a lonely place. It was clean, quiet (except for some external hotel noise that every room was exposed to), but still didn't feel welcoming.

The bathrooms and bedrooms where very dirty and the smell of the rooms was horrible. overall the hotel needs major remodeling and the carpet was nasty.

The room was clean and very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay there.

For the amount paid on this hotel, service was above. Located in a quiet neighberhood and conveniently near the broadway and 96th st.

The price was very low for the expensive area of Manhattan it is located. The room was cheaply priced but very small. The bathroom was communal. However, it was very clean. Room service opened the door at 10AM despite there being a do not disturb sign on the door.

I could not make the shower working (there seems no switch for that). Since I didn't bother to call for help (since I only stay for one night). For the price, it's an acceptable place to stay.

I enjoyed my stay here. The room was quite small, but efficient. There was no private bath, but shared baths, which were kept immaculately cleaned and stocked. The area was convenient to transit and the staff was courteous and professional.

Our room was great! And we only had to wait for the bathroom down the hall once. We did have a little trouble checking out because we had to leave early on a Saturday morning (about 6:30 a.m.) to make an appointment and had trouble finding the front desk clerk because he tends to disappear for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. Just as we were about to leave […] our key at the front desk and dash out the door, he appeared and we were able to check out. (Just make sure you allow enough time, in case you have to wait a few minutes for him to return.) Ler mais

This hotel has a great location in the upper westside Manhattan. Its about two blocks from the subway and walking distance to Central Park. Next time i go i will ask for a room away from the fire doors that seperate the rooms from the stairs/elevator. They are quite noisy as people pass through them.

This is quite elegant into comparison to the Widget Hotel a block away with comparable rates! I stayed at the Widget two years ago and there's NOTHING nice about it! I got into a bathroom every time I needed one. There's two bathrooms for every 10 rooms. Europan is a great closeby restaurant. There's many grocery stores nearby and two drug stores.

A recent stay at Hotel Alexander was marred by an unfortunate incident. After spending the day site seeing I returned to my room and prepared for bed. I prepared to shower and noticed that my towel was stained. I called down to the front desk and the clerk was quite unhelpful, bordering on rude. Long story short, I ended up drying off with a hand towel. The […] next day new towels were brought and they were clean. Upon returning home I emailed the hotel and received an apology. I understand that a stained towel could slip through the cracks, but the clerk's behavior was not acceptable. The follow up by the hotel has been good so I would imagine that my negative incident was the exception to the rule at Hotel Alexander. Other than that the room was fine. Not exquisite by any stretch, but certainly acceptable for the price. It was in a wonderful location on the Upper West Side very close to the subway, the Hudson River Park and Central Park. I will consider staying at Hotel Alexander again, as should you. Ler mais

Good price. Good location. Ok for 1 or 2 days stay. Not more than that. Close to 96 ST metro. 2 Blocks away.

Hotel is close to the metro and in a good neighborhood. However, the mattress was about what you would expect for the price and the room was a little loud.

The hotel has no parking however there is a garage right across that goes for about $35 dollars a day. Be careful if you park in front of the hotel on the street because they clean between 11:30 am and 1:30 pm and they will give you a ticket. Hotel room was tight but clean. No bugs. Room could use more heating. Bathroom is shared which makes me uncomfortable […] but it had the appearance of being clean however the smell was bad. There is one elevator and it is quite small. We were three people and not one more fit in there. Hotel is two blocks from the subway so that was convenient. During the day and night the hotel is pretty quiet. All and all ... it served its purpose. Ler mais

The elevator didnt work, and i was on the sixth floor. I needed three rooms to get one that had a tv that turned on. The biggest thing was the communal bathroom. No private bathroom.

If you are looking for a fancy, lavish, upscale, or a modern hotel, this place is not for you. If all you need is a bed and safe place to keep your stuff while you are away seeing the city, this is the perfect place for you. This hotel isn't really "nice". That is just because it is an older building that hasn't really been modernized. They have done […] some renovations to the hotel, just not in the guest rooms. This hotel is clean, but it is just old. For the price and the location you can't beat it. The only drawback was that the elevator wasn't working during our stay. They are in the process of "modernizing" it. But that wasn't really to much of a problem for a pair of 20 year old legs to go up 7 floors. If you are on a budget and you plan on spending most of your time out in the city then I highly recommended this hotel for you. It is cheap, clean, and most importantly in a safe neighborhood.

the hotel was exactly what you can expect from a 1 1/2 star hotel. Things were clean in the lobby, the bathrooms were clean but they had chipped tubs and chipped toilet seats. my bed had a long black hair in it, some crubs etc so i never slept in it. we ended up getting an upgrade to the 4th floor since the first room we were in was next to some screaming […] people. Con: the elevator was broken so we had to walk everytime and the stairs were super super tiny. Other than that, there is free wireless downstairs, the towels were fresh both days of our stay and the maids cleaned the bathrooms daily. It was in the nice neighborhood of the upper east side, but a 15 min subway ride and a $20 cab ride to soho/the village area. Ler mais

Very good room for the money. Clean, helpful people, we never had to wait for the bathroom. Would definitely recommend it to friends.

But I cannot use shower...

I was pleasantly surprised by the location, friendliness of staff and cleanliness of room and shared bathroom. I was not sure what I would get for the cheap price I paid, but I got a double bed next to the shared bathroom and both were new and clean. I was two blocks from the subway station and a street full of lots of stores, restaurants and great […] bakeries. The challenge was that I was on the 7th floor and the elevator was broken. The first day I was 3 blocks away and realized I had forgotten something. I had to go back and climb 7 flights of stairs. After three days my legs were killing me but I cannot say I did not need the exercise. Thank goodness I was traveling light and did not need to carry a lot. The floor can get a bit noisy but after climbing 7 flights of stairs and a full day in NYC, I fell asleep right away and the noise did not bother me. I would definitely recommend it and I will return. As the staff member said to me when I left, hopefully when you return the elevator will be fixed. Or not! Ler mais

The Alexander is a perfect low price Hotel. I found the shared bath to be clean and when used and soiled over night the maid service was there first thing to spruce them up. After I checked in and got to the room I found no towels for my use, but then heard footsteps running down the hallway and a knock on my door it was the maid with my towels. The […] morning coffee service smelled good but I didn't stop for it as I had a train to catch. All the staff I encountered seemed friendly enough and courteous. The elevator was however out of order. Not a big problem but a minor inconvenience, hopefully only temporary. Ler mais

I was a little shocked when I arrived and my room was not even made up. The bed was naked and the mattess and box spring was leaning upright against the wall. The room was littered with dirty laundry, no towels, and the TV Remote was missing. We had to share bathrooms with the whole floor. Noisy neighbors, UHH

I went into getting this level of hotel being a little unsure, so I only booked one night to start. At the Hotel Alexander I was very pleasantly surprised. The sheets, carpet, towels, etc. are a little older but everything was clean & quite comfortable. The room was pretty big, motel 6-ish. The staff was nice and helpful. From my experience, it seems […] like the people that wrote a negative review fall into one of these categories. 1.They had the rare & random bad situation, which happens anywhere. 2.They are the types that are chronically unhappy. 3.They are NOT being realistic about the price range they are in. I think this was a great value and I honestly wish I had this option in every other city. I stayed in a room with NO bathroom: a shared bathroom... there were two bathrooms on my small floor of approx. 15 rooms. Everything was marble or tile and very clean. I was not familiar with this arrangement so I had to get acclimated, but it was all clean and reasonable. The only negatives I found in the bathrooms were that: 1. there was no hand soap, in the bathroom or provided in the rooms like the towels, floor towel. etc. They did provide the small & common hotel shampoo so we used it as hand soap. 2.the hot & the cold water were backwards in the shower. It was a rotary type handle where you spin the handle around to the temperature that you want. I almost left, frustrated of course, as it never got even remotely warm & then it occurred to me to put in on cold & check. Sure enough... the hottest temp. is just before "Off" on the dial & so it's the weakest pressure. But it was strong enough, plenty hot & very nice. I think both of these decisions on the hotels part were likely due to customer abuse & to save costs & they make sense and seem fair to me. I do not in any way work for the hotel or know them. I never heard about them until the day before & I was very happy with everything. I honestly feel like a got away with a steal. I will recommend it to all of my fri Ler mais

Congratulations for the housekeeper guys; very kind.

My boyfriend and I were very unhappy with my stay at The Hotel Alexander. Unlike most who probably stay here hostel style. My boyfriend and I stayed in a private room for the night. When we got there, the room was not ready and we were not early. When we got into the room, the sheets were still damp and not dried properly. They claimed it was the air […] freshner which was very untrue. When I sat on it, I felt the dampness right through my clothes and the sheets were wet as well. The heat was limited, clicking on and off there was no remote for the T.V. The desk was blocking the closet so you can't use it and the bed was horribly uncomfortable. We were not expecting luxury for a low price, but a comfy bed, consistant heat and closet we can use...that we expect for their rate. We will not be back. Oh, the coffee they say they offer in the morning was pleasant atleast but would run out quickly and you had to keep waiting to get a cup. Even if you just need one night, it's not worth the rate. I'd rather have a shared bathroom with a very comfy bed and a T.V. with a remote and use of my closet. Ler mais

The hotel is conveniently located about a block from the 94th Street metro stop. The neighborhood feels safe and has quite a few good restaurants and cafes nearby. There is a good Mexican restaurant on Amsterdam and a good diner up Broadway. The room was pleasant and quite nicely furnished, although the heat was on MUCH too high--in the high 80s. There […] was free coffee in the morning. BUT our arrival and first night were very unpleasant. The man at the reception desk was all out rude. We had reserved a double room with private bed, but discovered a single. He hardly apologized, and instead suggested that this happens frequently. He also refused to note down the name of another of the guests whose luggage had not arrived and was to be delivered by the airline. The first night was also very noisy with doors banging throughout the night, loud music, and strange metallic clanging in the early morning. Thankfully the next two nights of our stay were quiet and the receptionists (we never saw the first guy again) were more than kind. Ler mais

This place is great for the price. It is not one of those luxury 5 star hotels obviously, but it has all one need to be comfortable. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how clean and orderly it was. And the location is great! If you want to visit New York for any reason, and you know the worth of your money, this is the place.

Hey when you are on a budget, and want to travel, and a hotel is not a big deal, It is what it is a place to stay! Get up (GO)take a shower in the restroom in the hallway, there are two or three of them on each floor(clean)pick up after yourself adn get dress and your gone. You walk three blocks to the subway or bus stop walla. your there 5 or 10 mins […] you are in the middle of NEW YORK, just do your reseacrh. What do you want? God Bless and have a safe trip!

妻とＱｕｅｅｎサイズ、シャワールーム付の部屋にとまりました。（10.11.27-12.1） 地下鉄の駅にも近く便利なところでした。 無線ＬＡＮも無料で、スタッフが接続方法を気軽に教えてくれたりとフレンドリーな感じがよかったです。 日本のそこそこのビジネスホテルをイメージすると同等かそれ以上のサービスだと思います。 一点、室内の空調がボイラー式の小さなものだったので、調整がむずかしく、部屋着に簡単な上着などを持っていかれるとよいかもしれません。 全体としてはお勧めです。

Horrible ! Le chauffage ne pouvait être éteint, la chambre était donc un vrai hammam ! Le bruit que faisait le chauffage est aussi assez horrible. Mal insonorisé en plus donc je déconseille.

Nous le recommandons vivement, de plus le personnel parle français aussi et tout le monde est serviable, ainsi que dans New York

Hotellet ligger bra till med T-banan bara nån minut bort! Rummet var fräscht och lagomt stort för två personer. Toaletten och duschen på rummet var i toppskick. Receptionpersonalen hjälpsamma. Vill verkligen rekommendera detta hotell.

Rien a dire sur cette hôtel... Il est bien placer... Les chambres sont propres et agréable. L'hôtel se situe a quelques blocks de la ligne 1!!! Je vous le recommande

Hôtel très bien situé à 2 rues de Broadway et du metro (ligne 1,2,3 station 96th St).Le quartier est assez calme.Il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner proposé par l'hôtel mais il y a de nombreux endroits où se restaurer sur Broadway. La déco est un peu vielliotte mais l'hôtel est très propre (les chambres sont faites tous les jours). On avait une salle de […] bain privée qui venait d'être refaite à neuf, petite mais fonctionnelle.Les salles de bain communes aussi avaient l'air propres. Les bagages sont gardés le dernier jour. J'avais lu dans un précédent commentaire qu'il fallait donner quelque chose (2$ je crois) mais ils ne nous ont rien demandés. Bref bon avis général dans l'ensemble pour le prix payé. Ler mais
