Detailed Reviews
If you pay as little as 40 pounds for a bed in London, don't expect much! The B&B's on Hugh Street are all very similar; same layouts and basement dining rooms where breakfast is served. The basement rooms were musty and not always well vacuumed. Reminded me of a hostel. If you don't mind that, then perhaps this block of hotels will suit you fine.

This hotel ia horid. When we first walked in the door it was horrible the loby was nasty that smelled like waste. The desk people stole my credit card and put charges on it. The room had no room exept for the bed and the bathroom had a showerhead exept it was in the wall and a drain. The toliet didn't work so if we had to go to the bathroom we had to go by the nearby resturant. The curtains had stains on them. We found a rat behind the bed and the heater didn't work. We found a leech in our bead along with a cockrach.

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 a vacant room in an unfamiliar city in New Year's Eve. I've never experienced this kind of treatment in any country I've traveled to. Perhaps, in the country of origin of this hotel's manager it is a custom not to honor your business deals.

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 for low cost (50 pounds per night) and don't mind cramped, dark spaces, this is the place. We found another place to stay for our trip on the day we arrived. I will do beter research and ask more pertinent questions the next time I reserve.Austin,Texas

Booked on-line. I wanted a cheap overnight stopover with full breakfast. As many others have found, the room I booked was not in the building I was shown to (the owner owns 5 or 6 buildings adjoining one another). If they made clear that this was the case and that alternative accomodation i.e. not a specific room in a specific hotel, the feeling of unease might not occur. The single room became a three bed (single and a bunk) room with bathroom. I fortunately wasn't spending much time in the room as it was TINY, dark and very cramped. It also backed onto a railway line that was fairly busy and the rooms are not exactly soundproofed. A basic clour TV, kettle and tea/coffee are available in rooms. The bed linen was clean as was the room although spartan. The full breakfast consisted of fruit cordial, instant coffee, cereal and toast with a selection of jams. Hardly a full breakfast but adequate - why not just say continental as that is closer to the truth? All in all not a disaster, but not accurate in terms of the advertising blurb.

Me & my husband just came back from our vacation in london. We booked one nite stay in a double basic room and 4 nites stay in the double en-suite room. I stood in disbelief when I saw the the double basic room. It was right at the top of the bldg. It was so small & cramped.
There was not enough space to even put our bags in. The room had been partitioned with wood, therefore we could hear everybody else' conversation & bedroom lambada the whole nite. I thought the nightmare would end when we were to move to the double en-suite room. I was very dissapointed as the room had a double decker bed & a single bed. There was barely enough space to move about. And the room was facing the railway tracks & it gets quite noisy. Overall, I would never go there again & my advice to anybody is you gotta spend a bit more if you wanna have a comfortable vacation.

This was our third visit to this hotel. A usual stopover prior to a a flight from Gatwick.
This is now the third review I’ve written based on my experiences. The previous 2 TA wouldn’t publish.
The first and primary reason for being a hotel is to have a great nights sleep.
We had an early flight and were out in the Marlborough Suit on a very hot night.
This was a transfer from Langshot Manor where we usually stay. Apparently our room there was no longer available.
To the crux of the matter. The air con unit in our from was faulty on a very hot night. Every 20 mins it sounded like a diesel car starting up.
Cut along story short it was a dreadful night.
After complaining we were offered a complimentary upgrade and afternoon if we booked another room another time.
I’m not sure what the room cost us but I’m hardly going to spend anymore money with that hotel.
I think we will go somewhere else next time where the management team value their guests a little more.
Hope you don’t have a problem if you stay there

I stayed here for 6 nights in June 2014. For the price the location could not be beat. It's a 5 minute walk to Victoria Station for the Underground, National Rail and coach services. You do hear the trains at night, but that didn't stop me from sleeping after a long day of sightseeing. It is a budget hotel so don't expect anything fancy. The rooms are dingy and in need of updating but that's OK because I didn't go to London to hang out in my room. Clean enough place to rest your head on a budget.

Cheap accommodation within a stone's throw of Victoria Station. Very friendly helpful staff although not all proficient in English. Street is quiet and rooms just adequate. But it is budget accommodation and you get what you pay for. I have stayed twice in 2004 and would use again.
