This was my 2nd time at The Alex and it didn't disappoint. I was travelling on my own and the location is perfect for walking to the main shopping areas. I had room service which was delicious with a varied menu. My room was huge with a very comfortable bed. Thanks to the team and I would definitely return to The Alex.
