We stayed at the hotel for two nights and were very glad that we had paid the extra for a room with a sea view which was stunning! The room had been recently refurbished and was a decent size with a modern ensuite. It must be appreciated that this is an old country hotel which is going through a makeover.... more

We stayed two nghts in a Poulet Room, fabulous views overlooking the gardens, Cob and the sea beyond. The room was 'shabby chic', next one for refurbishment, I believe, bathroom was large, and very clean, bed comfortable. The gardens at the Hotel are extremely well cared for, with nooks and crannies to sit in. Very comfortable sitting room, again overlooking... more

I emailed this hotel to ask about availability - all I got was a standard acknowledgement, my request was ignored. Needless to say we stayed elsewhere in Lyme and when we saw this hotel while walking around we were glad we did not book. It is away from the front up a very steep hill and its car park appears... more

We stayed for one night on 20th August 2008. We had booked a graded room that did not have a sea view. On arrival we were shown to room 9 which was extremely disappointing. The room was small, very poorly decorated,the bath and toilet had been chipped and desperately needed updating. The view was of the kitchen roof and it's... more

When we arrived we were a little disappointed by the initial shabbiness of the entrance foyer but the terrace was beautiful, as it looked on the website. When we were taken to our room we were throughly disappointed. The decor was ancient and shabby, the layout of the room was totally uninviting and our view was over the car park.... more

As I live fairly close to Lyme Regis I was already familiar with the Alexandra Hotel and thought it looked very pleasant, though had never had the opportunity to stay. However, my husband's 40th birthday offered a great excuse to book a surprise night. And I was not disappointed. We generally spend time in Lyme in the winter (we prefer... more

My wife & I stayed one night at the Alexandra, inspired by praise in other TripAdvisor reviews. And we are so glad that we did! Our room and bathroom were very comfortably fitted out; and from the bedroom we had a wonderful view of the bay and the Cobb, and the great expanse of sea beyond. We enjoyed being able... more

Have stayed at the Alexandria many times and don't wish to sound overly critical. I love the town. The problem is how the hotel compares to hotels in a similar price range in other parts of the world. In the US this would be a 2 star but assume it has its rating based on its dining room. Service is... more

I have stayed at the Alexandra Hotel several times over the last few years, most recently in May 2008. It is the only place to stay in Lyme Regis. The location is unbeatable, the staff is impeccable, the food is lovely and the place is full of history, character and charm. The renovation is coming along nicely with only a... more
