“A friendly stay in C-Ville”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

We stayed 2 nights in May 2013 and found the staff to be enthusiastic and friendly and the rooms (we stayed in the main house) to be excellent. An available computer and tons of reading material and games were great too. This accommodation is more hostel than B&B with just some basic breakfast food provided, but the bedrooms in the... More

“Great place to stay in Charlottesville”

Reviewed 23 February 2013

Just stayed three nights at Alexandar House with my husband and two kids. We stayed in the Vinegar Hill Room which had a double bed, a single bed and a roll-a-way. It was clean, affordable, and friendly place. The bathroom is shared, which wasn't a problem as there was only one other guest in the house while we stayed (there... More

Thanks so much! We are a unique place, which doesn't work for everyone, so it's very gratifying when our guests really enjoy and appreciate what we have to offer. More

“How would you find this place without Trip Advisor or booking.com?”

Reviewed 6 February 2013

Using Trip Advisor, I did find the Alexander House Inn, but even with GPS, you need to look closely as it is on a residential street and looks like many of the houses near it. I mistimed by arrival by an hour or so. This wouldn't bother many other hostels/inns, but as the proprietors take turns managing the place and... More

Thanks for the feedback. We try to let people know that they ONLY need to call a half an hour ahead of time, so the host has time to get over there before the guest arrives, but clearly this doesn't always come across clearly. And it's true, we aren't the most conspicuous establishment ;0) We're working on getting a small... More

“Home away from home”

Reviewed 24 October 2012

I stayed just for one night, but wished I could have stayed longer. I felt so at home. Nice room, beautiful setting. Very eco-friendly too. All organic food from local producers. I would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much! We're glad you had such a good stay, and we hope to see you again! I want to correct one thing - we DO shop only at locally-owned stores, and we DO emphasize local products. We buy as much organic as we can find, however, not all of our food is organic. We do have a... More

“Lovely, clean & comfy!”

Reviewed 26 September 2012

My friend and I both enjoyed and greatly appreciated our recent stay at the Alexander House. It has a calm and beautiful ambience --something hard to find when you add very comfortable as well. We felt so at home and safe and the people we met were so nice and interesting that I freely call this place a gem. Not... More

Thank you! We pride ourselves in creating a safe, calm place to stay. And we're very fortunate to attract interesting, caring people. The social community seems to form most nights, and people really like the opportunity to meet and get to know fellow travelers. I often end up staying much longer than anticipated, caught up in conversations with people from... More

“Customer service tips the scale”

Reviewed 5 August 2012

Raven at the Alexander House went above and beyond to insure that I had a warm welcome - well after the usual check-in time. I had driven 3 hours in the pouring rain on unfamiliar roads from Washington DC and ended the journey by getting lost in Charlottesville. He talked me through the last two miles and made sure that...

Thank you so much for your kind words! I've been lost while traveling many times, and was glad to be able to help you out. One of the things I love about Alexander House is the diversity of our guests. I agree that the travelers that stay with us tend to be wonderful, and I love some of the conversations... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in one of the guest house rooms while we were on a three day visit to UVA. The house is clean and charming, the staff was very friendly, the kitchen is well supplied (we only cooked breakfast there, but it looks like you could easily make a dinner with the available equipment), and the bed...

Thank you for staying with us. We get a lot of people visiting UVA for various reasons. The next time you come through, I hope you'll consider renting bikes from us.
