Room lovely and clean and spacious even though was in the cosy attic room, pleasantly surprised as thought it would be much smaller. Food in Reflections restaurant for dinner was lovely cannot fault it and staff great, drinks in Champagne bar also very nice although not sure a service charge for drinks is quite justified but as could not fault staff did not mind paying it. Breakfast was lovely also cannot fault it, very good value for money and good quality food, great choice of food and drinks, good portion sizes. Spa was lovely and clean and changing rooms were clean and spacious, however found the temperature of the water in the jacuzzis, hydrotherapy pool and normal pool all to be much too cold especially in the jacuzzis and hydrotherapy pool where you expect the water to be warm. Did not use the spa facilities as much as normally would due to the temperature of the water so was quite disappointed. A lot of other customers were also complaining of the same issue during our stay. Only other fault was that our bill at check out had quite a few errors on it and extra charges, there were drinks on our bill which we did not have, however this was quickly resolved and staff were very polite and helpful in rectifying this for us. Overall great stay, if was not a 5 star hotel would not be so picky but expect very high quality and standards for a 5 star especially when you pay a high price to stay and also pay extra to use the spa.

Incredible property and relaxing stay

I stayed at this hotel as part of an extended layover from the US to mainland Europe. This was a gorgeous property with super friendly staff and tons of amenities. I loved the bar, the spas, the pool and the gardens. The room was great too with an incredible bathroom - rainfall shower and massive tub - but it was unseasonably hot when I stayed and there was only a portable AC unit to use. It was a bit musty and had to be constantly refilled with ice, which was a bit of a challenge to maintain.

Disappointing Stay – Poor Value for Money

I paid £180 for one night at Alexander House, and with that price tag, my expectations were high.

Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing. The room decor (Chelsea) was tired, dated, and in a shocking state of disrepair (see attached photos).

Chipped tiles, threaded carpets, cracked paint, worn furniture, water-damaged artwork, and general stains were just some of the obvious problems. These issues clearly weren’t recent, indicating long-term neglect and a lack of attention to maintenance – something the management should be ashamed of, as it shows guests are not being prioritised.

Additionally, the swimming pool required an additional £40 payment since it’s in the spa area, which felt like a cheap money grab given the already steep room rate. The garden sauna, which could have been a small consolation, wasn’t heating properly either.

When I raised these issues with the duty manager a few hours after check-in, he was friendly and professional. He explained that in ‘similar situations’ an upgrade was often offered. While the second room we moved to was in better condition, it was frustrating and inconvenient to have to repack and move across the hotel, especially during what was meant to be a rare, relaxing break with my partner.

Disappointingly, other areas of the hotel showed similar signs of poor maintenance – from broken tiles to stained carpets. Given the price and the hotel’s supposed reputation, this stay fell far below expectations.

Another enjoyable stay at AH

Booked one night stay to celebrate my step-son's 21st birthday, we had 2 king-bed rooms in the main house. Full of character, spacious and very clean.
We enjoyed drinking outside in the sun, the spa was clean and although busy it didn't feel crowded, and we made use of the outdoor jacuzzi and sauna.
Our meal at Reflections was a little disappointing, but I put this down to them being extremely busy and possibly a staff member down.
After dinner we enjoyed further drinks at the Champagne bar, which had a great atmosphere.
Breakfast in the morning was plentiful.
It was our 3rd trip, and we will definitely have a 4th.

It’s a nice property but does not really achieve a 5 star level. The building is very nice but the interior design lacks the level of elegance of a 5-star property. We stayed in a garden room in the new building which was very large but not particularly well laid out. The restaurant tables were small and crammed and the food was ok but overpriced.

Poor spa. Terrible, overpriced food.

The spa was not up to basic standards. Steam room was cold. Sauna was cold without water to top it up.

Restaurant food was overpriced at £35:£40 per meal. It came cold. When informed staff, food was taken away, warmed under the grill and returned 20 mins later. This was a fish dish, so basically inedible..

The decor was dated and cheap looking.

Terrible value for money overall.

Unfortunately it wasn’t the 5 star experience we are used to when staying at Alexander house when it came to the room and restaurant.
The staff are all amazing though and will immediately fix any issues raised.
Was just shame on first impressions when walking into a very tired room which was nowhere near worthy of a 5 star category - even if it was the basic room. We had a broken iron, broken plug sockets, wallpaper peeling from ceiling and walls, cracks apparent everywhere and just very tired woodwork/tiles throughout.
Management were great and moved us to a junior suite for the trouble and were also in agreement with us.
As for the restaurant, there were also issues here. We ordered the £100 cote du beouf, which not only came out to us 50 minutes after ordering, but was stone cold along with all of the side dishes. It took another 2 attempts to get this right, the second time the waiter said he didn’t even bring it out to us when he checked the temperature first. I guess third time lucky is always a charm but obviously we were waiting well over an hour by now for our food. The manager was kind enough to give us the bottle of wine we ordered on the house for the issues.
We were celebrating joint birthdays (big 40) so it was a bit of a shame to experience the above, but the staff did what they could to still make it special so thank you.

Manage your expectations

This is a pricy hotel. Staff were welcoming and affable and I certainly don't fault their service.

What I do fault are the 'basics'.

An expensive hotel that charges £20 per person per day to use the pool? Unreasonable and quite frankly a joke if you're there for 'the weekend'.

A gym that doesn't have a treadmill? We've had hotels without gyms but this is the most basic of basics

Unusable WiFi in the room? It's 2024!

Overall I feel we've paid a premium price for an underdeveloped product.

Was okay, wouldn’t stay again.

Booked for our anniversary, was shocked that we would not have spa access outside of our check in/check out time without paying for early check in/late check out. I have never experienced this before when staying in a spa hotel.

We had asked for non-alcoholic sparkling wine for the room and where not given the product that was quoted (we had a bottle that retails at 1/3 of the price but was still charged the quoted amount). During our stay we had afternoon tea, it took 3 attempts to get a drink order right which just seemed wasteful.

Overall the service was okay, but nothing outstanding or screams 5 star. I have stayed in other spa hotel with better service. I wouldn’t stay again.

Fantastic time on one of the hotest days of the year! The hotel and grounds are stunning, the spa is spectacular and fill of surprises, including a cool pool, male and female facilities and shared facilities, jacuzzis you can rent privately and a £20pp to use the spa per night (this wasnt in the description, but fair enough. You can ever have drinks from the bar in the hot tubs!
We booked a stunning tasting menus, and were able to share it under the stars due to the temperature. Impeccable service and food, a little dark, but we loved the ambience so much! The wine pairing menu was both fascinating and delicious, and the knowledge of the servers was incredible.
The room and bathrooms were beautifully decorated, and we were given a mobile AC too because of the weather and the age of the building.
The bathroom could have been cleaner, the shower and bath were not as clean as i would have hoped, but otherwise an almost perfect stay!
Oh and breakfast i would do again, fresh and delicious and a slight break from tradition too!
I would love to add how well they catered for my partners gluten allergy too! We will be back soon!

Very overpriced hotel

Feel the hotel is very over priced. The setting is beautiful, but when you move through the communal areas the rooms / corridors are shabby and the decor outdated. A hotel charging these rates should have far higher standards. Breakfast was very disappointing, it took over 40 minutes for it to be delivered. When it came, I had a very sad looking vegetarian sausage, some overcooked spinach, 3 very small / sad looking bits of potato etc. etc. Really wasn't good enough. Also the breakfast room was dark, dingy with wood effect wall paper on the walls. Just not good enough for a hotel charging these rates

Very good, could be outstanding…

Stunning location, plenty of parking and the main building is lovely. The grounds are very pretty (although we felt weren’t being maintained as they could have been to bring the feel of the outside space up to a level commensurate with a good 5 star hotel).

We were upgraded into a luxury room which was very nice and very welcome. The room was beautifully appointed and characterful with a lovely bathroom.

The food we had was very nice, service in the Reflections restaurant not as good as it could have been. We felt a bit rushed and perhaps expected a bit more of a personal service.

The Utopia spa was very pleasant. Busy on our first day with lots of spa day clients taking all but one of the pool beds but on our second day, it always much quieter and very enjoyable. The outdoor sauna and hot tub in particular were lovely, just a bit of garden maintenance would have made it truly stunning.

We will definitely return though.

Not what it used to be!

Previously stayed and great experience. But this time was not impressed and quite disappointed, room wasn’t very clean and carpet was all stained. Outside area needed a good clean and cushions to sit on. Hair on the bedding that was not mine. Good also wasn’t that great. I wouldn’t rate a 5 star hotel anymore and wouldn’t stay again sadly. Due to it being so unclean. (There was also food under the bed, I only know this as our one year old was trying to get it!!). But staff was very nice.

A Sussex gem

On arrival, the front of house manager came out to offer a greeting and a porter was immediately there to take the bags. The check in was flawless, the spa and grounds fabulous and AG's tasting menu truly scrumptious. Room service rapid, precise and polite. Throughout, the service was impeccable. My only negative? The in-room refrigerator door was positioned in a manner that made it hard to open! The stay here was dictated by a morning Gatwick departure, but this place merits being a destination. In an era where most hotels are wretched beyond belief, it is wonderful to stay somewhere that still aspires to delivering a great experience. Thank you Alexander House!

As with all these places, getting spa slots can be tricky and the restaurant wasnt anle to accommodate us on our second night at a reasonable time of the evening.

Whilst the food was excellent, perhaps some more 'healthy' options could be incorporated hiven the spa and health resort nature of the venue.

The room was beautiful and there are modern suites too. Some catch up maintenance is needed in places.

Overall a good stay and a welcome break in a quiet setting.

An incredible amazing building, nothing is too much trouble for the lovely friendly staff. Room luxurious, food so delicious, would highly recommend.

Overall disappointing

An overall disappointment. It felt like all staff were lacking in training, there is seemingly no lunch menu and the lack of healthy food options is unbelievable. Great room though and with better management this would be great

Couple Stay - ok

Couple stay overnight. Treatments were fully booked and could not experience. No sign posts for walks. Outdoor sauna was not working. Food was okay, not a big selection but it is reasonably priced. Overall okay but expected more for £400+ a night.

Stunning views and beautiful grounds around the property.
Disappointment was finding well-established spider's web in bedroom and bathroom of one of the most luxurious suites. House keeping need to keep a close eye on this aspect, otherwise fantastic!

Disappointing long weekend stay

We feel this 5* hotel is resting on it's reputation. There is no atmosphere. Staff can't even smile or acknowledge you. There were 2 members of staff who I could say were happy and welcoming (other than the Spa where the therapists were fantastic).

The restaurant fish 'Special' was pretty much the same variation on the same theme for 3 nights running. And it was not nice at all, soba noodles with broth and a piece of trout on the top was a very strange combination.

The Continental breakfast pastries tasted stale (I tried the croissants, the pain aux raisins and the pain au chocolat), which is a surprise considering that there should be a Patissière in house because of the quantity of afternoon teas being served. The breakfast (and the coffee) was so bad, I had no choice but to drive to the local Cafe Nero to purchase good strong hot coffee and some freshly baked pastries.

There was no point complaining within the hotel because it was very clear that they were incapable of making any changes, and we didn't want to ruin our (much needed) long weekend away.

Suffice to say, having given this hotel 2 goes, we will not be residing again and I will not be recommending this hotel either. It should definitely not be a 5 star hotel.
