The Muthu Alexandra Hotel generally earns positive remarks for its prime location near the downtown area, offering both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere, and many guests appreciate the spacious rooms. The food receives positive feedback, with the mac and cheese with crab being a recommended dish, though some have found the breakfast options could be improved.

Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

motel roomfamily facilitiesfree water
The family motel rooms at the back were excellent for our little one, as they offered space to run around. It was a great idea. The hotel provided a swimming pool and sauna, which my family enjoyed a lot. I used the free water bottles in the room. They were very handy.
The hotel views were unfortunately facing the car park.

a solid stay with harbour glimpses

harbor glimpsesshort walkbreakfast options
my receptionist experience was lovely. the room was larger than i anticipated and had harbor glimpses. it was a short walk into the town for dinner and the ferry cruise. the breakfast had great options including freshly cooked fried eggs (a proper start!).
The room layout wasn't very practical. The television faced a wall and needed rearranging.

sea frontcosy loungegood cleaningfriendly staff
This hotel got a amazing location right on the sea front, I saw it immediately. The lounge area was very cosy for a late night drink. Rooms have a good cleaning, I noticed. Plus the staff are really friendly to guests.
The bed was too narrow, I think. This.
