Hotels near Paddington Station, London

Love its location. There’s a door just above M&S for guests to enter hotel from the station. Though dated, this hotel is very well maintained. However, do note there’s no fridge provided in the room.

Very good service. Clean, good breakfast. Situated in center of London, very close to Paddington rail station and subway. You can get whatever you want very easy. Nice surroundings. Compliments to Bogdan from reception.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. I got upgraded free to the refurbished room from the classic room I booked. Small room and bathroom but with great facilities, a window that works and blinds plus curtains that block out the light. A little noisy because of the street down below but not bad. The room had a nice new AC unit and the shower pressure was very strong, maybe a little too strong with no clear way to reduce the pressure (it's either on or off).

Overall a good hotel with friendly staff that are attentive to your needs and a well trained attitude. Rooms are small but very clean and in a good location, only fault could be the lifts during my stay being a bit hap hazard.

Walls were not clean when we arrived and lots of cobwebs on door surface especially around metal frame. We had to check out at 11 so plenty of time for rooms to be cleaned and turned around. Bedclothes are extremely old and worn. They should be replaced as they look like they were bought and in use since the last century, an old relative is only person who I would imagine has such textiles. Beds were very small so again when was the last time furniture was updated. Bathroom was ok but very old shower. Overall the price vs standard of accommodation does not match up and I would recommend only visiting this hotel as a last resort. With more investment, it could be better as the location is quite good.

I find spa days odd if this is normal. Maybe this is a me thing. £70 to sip camomile tea in a not very warm room with the lights down (I could have murdered a coffee but they didn’t “do” coffee in the spa. Coming from a luxury hospitality background and it being a high-end hotel, I would have thought someone might have offered me one); the jacuzzi again was not all warm and nice so my muscles still wouldn’t relax and then there is a steam room with eucalyptus. The sauna is separated m/f so i didn’t bother because I went with a male friend and the point was to chat… we ended up having more tea. There is no swimming pool but there is a gym. Fair enough if you want that. My starters had no flavour at all. The main was nice and right for the moment and my Irish coffee was delicious. The building wowed me and everything is in very good condition. Staff are down to earth, smart and friendly. The set menu was worth doing. I don’t know how this competes with other hotels but had the spa been warmer I would certainly have been happier. I feel £70 for that part of the day is money for old rope. When I think about it we spent about £20 an hour to be in a nice building and have a £30 two course meal. I think that’s quite a lot. The spa could do with some personality, warmth, music… having tables cleared more often (it wasn’t busy)… something other than going room to room in a towling robe.

I recently returned from a 7 night stay at this hotel and felt compelled to add my positive comments to other reviewers who felt the same. I spent many years in the travel industry so went on my trip with an open mind especially after having read some negative reviews. ALL staff were polite and professional, from the gentlemen on reception to the hardworking, diligent staff in the dining room. I also wish to say a special thank you to the wonderful lady who cleaned our room who my friend and I met at the end of our stay. The jewel in the crown of the Alexandra Hotel in my opinion and that of my travelling companion is without doubt the staff. Thank you one and all, we will definitely be returning! Few points that may help in deciding whether this hotel is for you are… Our room was of reasonable size, recently renovated, and had all the amenities you would expect. Bath with overhead shower and hot water at ALL times. This is something that I have found lacking in a number of London hotels in which I have stayed. Comfortable beds which weren’t on wheels, we requested extra pillows which were in our room the next day. Tea/coffee facilities which were replenished daily. Large fan mounted on wall which we were grateful for as it was very warm during our stay. TV Hairdryer Plenty of wardrobe, cupboard and drawer space. Excellent location being only a few minutes walk from the station. Variety of restaurants within a few minutes walk, for those who enjoy Mediterranean cuisine check out the Paramount Lebanese Kitchen on London Street, excellent food, well priced! Finally, although there is no storage room as such the hotel has an area at the side of reception desk where luggage can be stored. We took advantage of this without any problem.

We were only in London for a couple of days and did not intend to stay in the hotel much. Point A in Paddington fit the bill--convenient location, without the typical back-breaking hotel rates in a major city. It was obvious the hotel was renovated fairly recently. Our room was comfortable but tiny! Even smaller than our cruise ship cabin, because there is no closet. This means no good place to put your luggage either. And it was windowless--again a first for us for hotel rooms. Just like our cruise cabin! Fortunately we were there only to sleep and bath. The front desk staff were friendly and check-in was quick. We didn't try their breakfast (which was extra cost). Instead, we found wonderful eateries within walking distance. There was a weird glitch in their system that canceled our key cards on the day of check (while we were out for breakfast), even though we hadn't checked out yet! The hotel provided wi-fi, which connected quickly and reliably. We were very grateful for that!

(+) Great location, very close to Paddington tube station. Super friendly staff. Good value for money in comparison to other hotels in central London. (-) The room I stayed was super basic and small, there were no amenities other than hot shower, hand soap and towels. Bare in mind that it’s an worn out building, and I could hear the squeaky bed when the guests upstairs were ********** (very uncomfortable)

The hotel is very close to Paddington Station of which you can take tube, railway & Airport Express. It just takes 8 mins walking distance from Paddington station to the hotel. The internal facilities are maintained in good condition and the staff are helpful & efficient. It's a good experience and I will definitely reserve it again when I travel to London next time.
