Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Alexandra Hotel is often praised for its prime location right on the beach and its proximity to local shops and restaurants. Many guests enjoy the convenience of being within a 5-minute walk of the tennis center and having sightseeing bus stops just opposite the hotel. Rooms are generally considered spacious, and some offer fantastic sea views from floor-to-ceiling windows; plus, there is coffee, tea, and milk in abundance, although a few guests have noted that the front door is sometimes locked.

low water pressurelimited dining
The shower was inadequate. Water pressure was low, therefore rinsing proved difficult. the lack of on-site dining options reminded me of an oversight for a hotel of this caliber.. Breakfast only was available.

i got a room with sea view. the location is ideal because it is right on the beach. it is only a 15 min walk from train station. the room was big.
the carpet in the room was dirty with biscuit crumbs. the shower was also tricky. it took some time for it to warm up. i do not like this.
