What guests think

Guests describe Alexandra Hotel as a friendly, well-located seafront base in Weymouth, with welcoming staff and easy access to the beach, harbour and shops, though the historic building’s lack of a lift can make upper floors challenging.

Many rooms offer sea views, but size and decor vary; several guests note small or dated rooms, mixed mattress comfort and occasional noise from pigeons, plumbing or early housekeeping. Cleanliness is often praised, yet recurring mentions of stained carpets and a few missed details appear. Parking is limited and can be confusing, with permits sometimes provided; breakfast is generally good value with modest choice. Overall, it suits travellers prioritising convenience over extras.

Facilities

Facilities are basic for a historic building: there is no lift and on-site parking is very limited. The hotel sometimes provides local parking permits, but parking in Weymouth can still be difficult or require a paid car park.

I was given a free parking card. Street parking, plenty of space as mid January. Nice clean sea view room. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Always a pleasure to stay here.

This was our first time in Weymouth, young couple , We were greeted by very friendly staff Member, she was very informative and helpful , All staff were nice . We had a room which had a beach view first floor stayed for 2 nights. The room was good, from the linen, bathroom and entertainment . Everything was within steps aways to the beach , shops , entertainment, and transport buses. Parking is a nightmare we booked through Expedia please be mindful that if book direct through the Alexander hotel they only have space for 5 cars which on a first come first serve .However if you find space in Zone F Area the Hotel will provide you with a parking permit . As the area is so busy you may find going around several times like we did lol . Apart from that love the experience, visited beautiful places , like Durdel Doors , Portland via Bus tours good service. We will definitely come back to Weymouth and stay at Alexander. 14/08/2025

Parking is awful in Weymouth. However, the hotel was kind enough the allow us to use their private parking. Overall, a pleasant stay in a pleasant town. Food in the nearby pub was excellent.

Tom and the rest of the team could not have been more lovely and accommodating. I 100% recommend the Alexandra Hotel in Weymouth and my partner and I are already looking forward to our next visit. We would love to stay there again. The hotel is a grade 2 listed building full of character, with the most amazingly comfortable sofas in the lounge. The guest notes are full of humour and show how much the owners care about the hotel, the guests, the environment and everyone having a lovely holiday in Weymouth. We arrived early but that wasn't a problem, Tom checked us straight in. He then sorted us out with a parking permit , despite my not arranging anything in advance with the hotel. I'm sure that during peak season this might not be so easy to achieve but I do know that if it's possible and will make the guest's stay better then Tom and the team will do their upmost to meet your needs.

Spent a week at the Alexandra hotel and was overall satisfied with my visit. Check-in was quick and easy and staff offered to help take ourbags to our room. View was amazing, bed was comfy and was overall impressed with the entire room. Breakfast options limited but good for a relaxing bite to eat in the morning. Access to activities is very good but was not satisfied with parking options. Free parking was not available for us as we booked through another website despite the description stating there was parking available on-site. No parking permits were available for our stay either so had to pay full price for parking in the nearby overnight car park. Would stay again but would book through Alexandra's main website to offer the chance of parking without the need to pay.

The hotel was in an excellent location near to the beach, the harbour and several bars and restaurants. The property itself was an old Georgian hotel. The room was on the third floor and there is no lift so ideally you will be fit. The room and bathroom were clean. The mattress was far too soft. I would recommend a firmer mattress

A lovely convenient hotel on the sea front. Room was spacious enough and over looked the fairground in front of it. But you could also see the beach and sea from our window too. Nice complimentary bottles of water and biscuits with our tea and coffee facilities in the room. All replenished again for the second day. Clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Didn’t have breakfast there so can’t comment on that. Great value for the room. No parking available right next to it so had to park in the main Pavilion car park which is a bit of a walk away (for me anyway). No lift as it’s an old building. This is our second visit and we’ll definitely be staying there again.

Wonderful staff, very friendly, welcoming, professional and helpful. Unfortunately, the carpet in our room and our son's room was filthy. Our room was tiny, making it uncomfortable. I would say the rooms weren't good value for the money, however, breakfast was very good value. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. Plumbing very noisy but closing the bathroom door fixed that. I liked The Alexander because the staff were exceptionally good.

The staff were absolutely brilliant and breakfast really good but im afraid wasnt impressed with room or rooms shall we say , first double room very small although with a sea view but looked so much bigger on website , i asked to get moved to a bigger room across where i was to number4 and no joking was kept up with constant pidgeon coo hoo coo hoo coo hoo first thing from 5am and never stopped , had to keep window closed but even then was shocking , i fully understand its the council responsibility but its really horrible as the pidgeons are loud , i left the hotel needing more sleep than when i arrived , had nightmares ever since came back to scotland !!!!!! , its a shame because the staff are brilliant but they can only do what they can and the breakfast really good but sorry i wont be coming back to the hotel .

Smiling but unfortunately unhelpful receptionist. When I asked why I could not park in the hotel’s parking bays, three out of four of which remained vacant throughout our stay, I was told that parking is available only for guests who book directly with the hotel and not through websites such as Hotels.com. This is incorrect, as the Hotels.com listing makes no mention of such a restriction. The rooms also did not quite match the photos displayed online. The images on the website appear mixed up, with some photographs shown under the lower-priced rooms actually belonging to higher room categories. This is misleading, and the hotel should ensure that the photos accurately represent each room type.
