The Alexander Pope Hotel

The Alexander Pope Hotel Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Alexander Pope Hotel in Twickenham, you immediately get the sense this is a place that knows what it’s doing. It’s not trying to be flashy or over-the-top — this three-star property has that comfortable, lived-in feel that makes you want to settle in for more than just one night. The building sits quietly on Cross Deep, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful but still well-connected to London.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying here — you’re in Twickenham, which means you get that lovely riverside town vibe without being stuck in the middle of nowhere. The hotel is actually really close to the Thames, and if you’re into rugby at all, Twickenham Stadium is practically on your doorstep. But even if sports aren’t your thing, the area has this charming, almost village-like quality that’s refreshing after dealing with central London crowds. You can walk to the train station easily enough, and getting into the city center takes about 30 minutes — not bad at all when you consider how much quieter your evenings will be.

The Rooms

I have to say, they’ve really nailed the beds here. I mean, sometimes you stay somewhere and wonder if they just grabbed the cheapest mattresses they could find, but not at this place. The room I stayed in was nothing fancy, but everything worked properly and felt clean and well-maintained. The furnishings are a bit traditional — think classic English hotel rather than modern minimalist — but there’s something comforting about that approach. You know what really impressed me? The attention to small details, like having enough outlets near the bed and decent lighting for reading.

Practical Perks

One thing that immediately caught my attention was the free parking — and if you’ve ever tried to park anywhere in or around London, you’ll understand why that’s such a big deal. The staff mentioned that a lot of guests come back repeatedly, which honestly doesn’t surprise me. There’s something to be said for a place that focuses on getting the basics right rather than trying to wow you with unnecessary extras. The service feels personal without being intrusive, and I got the impression they actually remember their regular guests.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this hotel apart is how it manages to feel both relaxing and practical at the same time. Couples seem to particularly appreciate the peaceful location — and I can see why, especially if you want to explore London during the day but retreat somewhere quieter in the evening. The combination of comfortable beds, reliable service, and that surprisingly convenient Twickenham location creates exactly the kind of experience that makes you want to book again before you’ve even checked out. It’s about having a genuinely pleasant stay without any unpleasant surprises.

Exploring London drifts through historic pubs, modern galleries, and dusk-lit bridges arching over the Thames.
