I visit Louisville annually (have done so for many years) and always stay at the Aleksander House. I find it to be a wonderful, quiet get-away with clean and accommodating rooms. It is in a very convenient location for the arts related activities I pursue when in Louisville and also in close proximity to my favorite restaurants (via automobile). The Inn Keeper is very friendly and works hard to provide all who visit with a positive, welcoming environment. I recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a B&B in Louisville!

Several weeks ago, three of my girlfriends and I booked a "Slumber Party Package" at the Aleksander House. We were thrilled when the innkeeper Nancy showed us to our sunny, spacious suite. There was plenty of room for all of us, and the suite was equipped with everything we might need. During our tour of the house, Nancy recommended several restaurants for dinner, some of which were within walking distance. We decided to walk to an Italian restaurant called Amici's, and I'm glad we did. Walking gave us time to appreciate the beautiful architecture the area is known for. We walked passed several victorian mansions that took my breath away. The next morning, we were treated to a fabulous gourmet breakfast. Nancy's Grand Marnier French Toast was by far the best french toast I have EVER had. After breakfast, we walked around St. James Court and toured the Conrad-Caldwell House museum. That evening we enjoyed pizza, popcorn, cookies, all while we watched a movie in our suite. The Aleksander House met, and exceeded our all of our expectations. We loved it so much, we booked another slumber party in the spring.

My wife and I booked the room several days in advance. and were assured that all the other rooms were booked as our reason to stay in B and B's was to socialize with others. We arrived at the stated time, found the place locked up with no one there. The outside of the building was unkept and a policeman parked across the street warned us not to be out after dark. When the owners representative finally did show up, they said we were unexpected and no other guest were scheduled for the night. When I said in light of the above facts, I wished to cancel, I was told that would not be a problem. Two days later, I was charged for the room despite my quite civil explanation to the owner.

The home is lovely, with 14 ft ceilings, fabulous woodwork, beautiful doors, and a grand staircase. The dining room was beautifully decorated and the table was set for royalty! The breakfasts were fantastic and the service exceptional. We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in historic Old Louisville. Because of our large group (5), we shared Penina's room and Kimberly's room, which have an adjoining door. The rooms were very nice, but if I were to stay again i would want to stay in Katherine's room, which is gorgeous and is decorated to fit the period of the home (see pictures). I appreciated the freshly baked cookies, the freshly brewed ice tea and refreshing lemonade available in the Dining Room, as well as the nice selection of beverages provided in the small refrigerators located in the bedrooms. There was a generous variety and supply of books and magazines, DVD's, and videos. There is a lovely, well-kept garden out back.

I recently returned from a mandatory conference for work in Louisville and I have to say, this B&B made the trip, not only worth while, but definitely a place I will recommend to all of my colleagues when they come out later in the year. This place feels like home from the minute you walk in...and the food! Not like any B&B I’ve ever stayed in before (standard granola and a cup of Dannon yogurt!). I was there for 3 nights and every morning I received a how breakfast from grand marnier French toast to one of the fluffiest omelets I’ve ever had. Trust me when I say…don’t miss out on this place!

When visiting Louisville and looking for a charming, authentic Victorian B&B, take a look at Aleksander House. We had a fabulous time there, close to everything, beautiful accomodations, delicious food and Nancy, the owner, was perfectly attentive and made us feel so welcome that we'll be going back to stay. Definitely highly recommended.

My husband and I spent the last two days at this lovely bed and breakfast in Old Louisville Kentucky. It has been a wonderful experience. Our room is beautiful, spacious and comfortable; the breakfasts have been outstanding and the Innkeeper has showered us with southern hospitality. We feel so pampered that we hate to leave. We will definitely return. We have already reserved our room for the St James Art Show in October. And we are bringing our friends with us. This Inn is highly recommended.
