My boyfriend and I stayed at the Aleksander House for the first time and it was more than I had hoped for. The interior was beautiful with decorations and tall ceilings. We stayed in a spacious room with a very comfortable bed, I slept great! Breakfast in the morning was fantastic and I loved being able to sit down and... More

We have stayed at the Aleksander House many times. We attended our 8th Kentucky Derby this year and again stayed with Nancy as we have for every other one. We always bring a couple or multiple couples with us and everyone enjoys the 3 day stay. Obviously we truly enjoy ourselves at the Aleksander House. Derby Weekend in Louisville would... More

Stayed here last weekend. Lovely old home. Nancy was welcoming and accommodating. She went out of her way to make me a delicious vegan breakfast! Thanks, Nancy! Location was very convenient to the airport, major highways Churchill Downs and downtown Louisville.

As a woman who travels alone on business trips, I often prefer to stay in a bed and breakfast. I stayed at Aleksander house a couple weeks ago, and found the experience quite pleasant. I found the place a charming mix and Victorian and contemporary furnishings and the bedroom was a very nice size. I noticed another reviewer complained about... More

...and not be let down! I was in Louisville for a recent business trip, only one night and stayed at one of my favorites, the Aleksander House. I was thinking on the way home, how nice it is to have expectations about a place and not be disappointed. As always, I had a nice and comfortable stay that included a... More

My husband and I and my elderly mother stayed at Aleksander House last weekend (April 2013). It certainly wasn't up to the standards of other B&B's we've stayed at in Louisville but the beds were comfortable and we slept well. We're pretty adaptable and will tolerate things that are less than ideal most of the time but the experience left... More

I am terribly sorry this guest was not happy with her stay at our inn. It seems it all began with the rate mix-up. I apologize for the inconvenience and the bad feelings I propagated. I can certainly see why she would be angry if she thinks we deliberately charged her too much. However, this is what happened: The suite... More

We stopped here for a break on our way south to visit family. This was our first stay at the Aleksander House and in Louisville. This was a perfect place for us to stay because it was a five minute, easy exit from the interstate. Also it was only a 10 minute drive to the downtown museum and restaurant area.... More

I stayed at Aleksander House for business and it became my oasis after a busy day walking a convention floor. The house is beautiful and in immaculate shape. I took a picture of the floor because the nails where handmade- something you do not see very often. My four poster bed was a delight to sleep in every night. Breakfast... More

Our group of 9 women friends enjoyed everything about the Aleksander B&B- spacious rooms, lovely decor, and delicious breakfasts especially the yummy pumpkin pancakes!! Nancy and John made sure all our needs were met.

My husband and I stayed at the Aleksander House when we were in town for a friend's wedding. It was very centrally located - a quick drive from the airport and about 15 minutes away from everything we hoped to see! Nancy and John took excellent care of us. The breakfasts that Nancy put together were wonderful and helped us... More
