Alexandra Hotel

I've been staying at the hotel for 7 nights in a single room. The room on the 2nd floor was very pleasant and clean. The hotel had a renovation a couple years ago. It is good. The shower is amazing - clean, comfortable and water presser is good. The hotel is situated on the nice, very green street, not far from Hyde park. Breakfast is good and staff is doing there job. I'd stay in the Alexandra hotel again. The hotel staff is very polite and helpful. Thank you very much to the guys at the concierge desk.

terrible value 60 pounds! rooms ridiculously small - like a prison cell little ventilation - u will have a nightmare if u stay during the summer - unless u like spending a night in a sauna cheap breakfast - terrible coffee. uncomfortable bed avoid staying here - lifts dont go to all floors and the stairwells are so narrow that getting ure luggage up and down is difficult of course its only 2 star - but ive stayed in much better - however Central London hotel prices probably the most expensive of any... more

My mother and I stayed at this hotel for the entire duration of our stay in London, England. We enjoyed the place, thought the location was fantastic, service, rooms, breakfast, etc... only problem was a BIG one: Bedbugs! We were both bitten and unfortunately for me, I had an allergic reaction. So what seemed to be a recommendation ended up a disappointment. Be sure to check any hotel for these... I sure will!

We travelled from NZ and stayed 2 nights at the Alexandra Hotel. We found the rooms quite small and we were practically climbing over our clothes and luggage to get to the bathroom. The lift kept breaking down so we found ourselves climbing 2 floors of stairs which were very narrow and difficult when you have luggage and shopping to carry. The staff were of non-english speaking origin and I found this difficult when their english was not very good. Breakfast was Ok but I wouldn't write home to mum about it. The beds kept rolling around... more

We booked through our travel agent and trusted her opinion of the place. I recon we got the worst room. My main dislike was the two hairs that were on the shower wall next to the shower head = It could not have been cleaned properly. Our room was in another building to the main one. Looking out on to a light well next to the dining room which opens at 6 and the light shines in! Beds a bit old (lumpy) and the TV did not work ( we wanted to watch The Bill). When we asked to have our room changed as we did request for a double bed (it was... more

Stayed at Alexandra hotel for 4 nights in February. The room was clean, beds ok, breakfast too (tea, coffee, cereals, ham, juice, yogourt and as much toasts as you like). The staff was very polite. Everything went just fine except that someone broke into our room the first night (hopefully they didn't stole anything), staff said it happens sometimes when the hotel is croaded, so DO NOT LET ANYTHING VALUABLE IN UR ROOM !! Hotel is near Paddington station, 20 mn from Oxford Street, and there's plenty of restaurants around.

Stayed at Alexandra for 4 nights in June. The room was clean, beds were good and the breakfast ok. The staff was polite and everything worked just fine. Will stay there also next time when visiting London.

This hotel ruined our 3-day visit to London. Upon arrival we were informed that there's some unspecified problem and we are to be moved into some "continental hotel" for 2 nights. Recepcionists were assuring us that the Continental is of equal standard. It was a lie. They had put us in a B&B. Although there were some free rooms in the Alexandra at that moment (single, but it would suffice) , they refused to give us a room. The people were rude. They even hanged up on me once. Additionallly, nobody would give us any written proof of the... more

GOOD POINTS: cheap everything was clean close to the station BAD POINTS: required passport no. and date of expiry couldn't close the window completely towel is changed once 2 days very small shower booth no refrigerator OVERALL: Although staying in winter might be miserable, the needy will be happy if they bring some towels. Be sure to bring your shampoo and toothbrush too.

We were surprised to find that the lift only went to floor 3 and we were on floor 5, and those stairs were very steep. Reception staff were very approachable, - but remember that there is only one person at the front desk who cannot leave, so you may need to be patient to have you request attended to. Breakfast was included - toast and cereal, so we took our own muesli. Kitchen staff were also very approachable and helful where they could be. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much - not luxury, but a good place to shelter and sleep
