The Spotlight on Alexandra Hotel

Classic Charm Near the Beat of the City

Just a short stroll from the energy of central London, the Alexandra Hotel offers budget-friendly comfort in a classic Victorian townhouse. Nestled in the elegant Paddington neighborhood, this hotel is only a 5-minute walk from Paddington Station and a 15-minute walk to the buzz of Oxford Street. With Hyde Park just around the corner, you’re never far from green space—and even closer to London’s top live music venues.

Rooms are traditionally decorated and include all the essentials—TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, a hairdryer, and private bathrooms. A 24-hour front desk ensures a smooth stay, any time of day or night.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Alexandra Hotel nails it. With quick access to Paddington and Lancaster Gate Underground stations, you can be at your gig—and back again—without breaking a sweat. The hotel’s central spot means late-night transport options are plentiful, and the peaceful residential setting helps with post-show recovery. 24-hour reception is a bonus for those coming in late after encore performances.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, central base
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a weekend of it near Hyde Park
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who want location without the hefty price tag

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a light continental breakfast—ideal if you’re grabbing something quick after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, you’re spoiled for choice with plenty of cafés and restaurants just a few minutes’ walk away. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a sit-down meal, you won’t go hungry.

Nightlife Options

While the Alexandra Hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, its central location puts you close to some of the best pubs, lounges, and music venues in London. From cozy Paddington pubs to late-night spots near Oxford Street, you’re well-positioned for pre- or post-show drinks.

What People Say

  • “Great location—close to transport and walking distance to many sites.”
  • “Clean rooms and friendly 24-hour staff.”
  • “Perfect base for a short London trip.”
  • “Good value for money in central London.”

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side and the décor is a bit dated—but for most concert-goers, the location and price make up for it. Some guests mention basic amenities, so pack your own extras if you're particular.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after an affordable, no-fuss stay near major music venues and transport links, the Alexandra Hotel hits all the right notes.

Good price and amenities, lacks...

Liked: Very good prime location. Room good compared to price. Comfortable beds.
Disliked: Staff a bit friendlier and more proactive Rooms are adequately sizes considering price and location. Bathroom good size and nice. Bath was big however no plug to have a soak in. Asked staff fir plug but couldn’t help. Cleanliness lacks attention to detail. Staff available however not fully deployed or proactive . The whole place lacks a bit of TLC and attention to detail. It needs a good manager to elevate the standard. With some little touches this hotel could go from an ok place to a n excellent place to stay. It’s in prime location and has great potential.

Horrible had to leave find...

Liked: It had roaches and l killed one and took photo of it. I will not recommend anyone to stay there. Staff member acted like he did not really care never apologized and said l gotta go through booking.com to get my money back. At 11;00 pm l had to find another hotel to go to. I did not spend the night there once l got out of shower and seen the roach in the bathroom. There was a spray bottle left on my bed for me to spray the bed l thought for bed bugs. I do not know it was a clear bottle of clear liquid.
Disliked: Not clean

Central location with trade-offs in...

Liked: The hotel is just 5-10min walk from Paddington and 2 more underground / train stations. You can reach everything in the city by maximum 30min walking or riding a train.
Disliked: The windows are the typical old up-and-down sliders that do not really shield from any street noise. Although the road is not a main road and the area is mostly quiet by night, the occasional motorbike or car that needs to show off at night will leave you standing in your bed.The rooms are small and get warm during the day. While there is a ventilator, it does barely help with cooling down the room and if you want fresh air at night, well see above.We had twin rooms with ensuite toilet and a shower. However in one of the rooms you could barely move in and out of the bathroom, as the door opened to the inside and required maneuvering around...
