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.
