We had three nights at the Alexandra house, which was able to accomdate us at the last minute without any hassles. We had to change rooms after the first night, but they made it very easy. We enjoyed our stay there for many reasons. The location is great; just outside the west gate, so easy access. Off the main road so the street was very quiet. The house includes off-street parking which we appreciated, and you get your own key to come and go. Breakfast was efficient and well-prepared, with the variety you would expect at a good B&B. I found the beds a bit (well, may more than a bit) soft for my taste, so if you have a back that requires a firm bed, take note. Also, I really appreciated the free wireless internet access, but be aware that getting a good signal can be a problem. Upstairs in rooms 2 and 3 it's almost impossible. Downstairs is somewhat better, but not always reliable. Anyway, it's free, so that's a plus.

The Alexandra House is situated only a few minutes from the city centre, so it is excellent for exploring the beautiful historic town of Canterbury and it is also good for those who don't have a car. The rooms are clean and spacious. The only negative point is the bathroom because it is very small, but as it was very clean it was not such a huge problem. The breakfast was fantastic. We could choose from a large range of options and it was very delicious. Everybody was very friendly and all in all, we had a great stay at this B&B!

The manager was great, a really friendly and helpful guy. The rooms are very smart, clean and tidy. There was a good choice to order from on the breakfast menu that tasted great and you could also go up and help your self to cereals and juices. It's about a 10 minute walk from a Canterbury city centre.

Alexandra House is well situated but looks a little scruffy from the outside. Our room was comfortable & well presented. The bathroom however was another story & needed a good clean. The grouting had black mould, the soap dish in the shower had a green deposit & the extractor fan sited right over the basin & toothbrushes appeared not to have been cleaned for a long time & was filthy. The breakfast was quite good & adequate.
