Top Alexandria Hotel Reviews

Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria

Archer Hotel Old Town Alexandria

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Archer hotel for 3 nights in Oct 2026. It is in the central location of town and about 1 mile or 20 minutes on foot to the river front where there are lots of restaurants and shops. Hotel and room are very clean and look modern. The service is fast and they provide daily water bottles so it did save us time to buy water. Since it is right in town so the only option is valet parking and they charged $45/day which is a standard price of other hotels we stayed. If you want to explorer Alexandria old town then we recommend Archer hotel."
