Alexander Pope

This amusingly-named hotel exceeded my expectations. The room was spacious and modern, equipped with interesting retro furnishings and Mavis Batey's excellent book on Pope and landscape gardening. I appreciated the relatively tasteful pictorial representations and historical prints, and, of course, the locale, which is on the site of Pope's original garden and house, with the same view of the river. Radnor Gardens are across the street and the hotel is close to historic central Twickenham. The Strawberry Hill house is a short walk away. I also recommend the White Swan pub and a visit to the Marble Hill estate.

Great hotel, lovely spacious room, great mattress ( yes, I’m mega fussy!), own car park, great coffee machine… didn’t try either breakfast or evening meal but everything looked great. Thanks a lot. Will definitely book again There was a problem with the tv in the room, but the receptionist sorted it very swiftly .

Rooms would be 5 star but there was a couple of minor maintenance issues, toilet flush a little loose, plug socket had something jammed in it and silicon coming off on one of the tiles. Was nice and clean and spacious, with plenty of light. Staff super friendly in both the hotel reception and the bar, food was fantastic and there was a wide array of drinks on offer. Bus stop directly outside or 10-15 minute walk to Twickenham station which gave easy access to the rest London. Would definitely stay again.

This was our third (29/8)stay. We arrived to find the receptionist on the phone - after a while I decided to go to the loo, I came back, she was still on the phone. At no point did she even acknowledge our presence. It was probably another 3 minutes before she finished the call. I would say we just stood there for 7 minutes I’m all. What is usually a slick checkin was fairly prolonged - I did challenge the original charge, then discovered that I had actually received an email containing the information. I explained I would just check in the morning with the member of staff with whom I had made previous bookings. I was astounded to be asked what I’d do if she didn’t come to work the next day! We arrived in our allotted room which we have stayed on before and we’re surprised to find no coffee capsules and no nuts etc. Sadly to say this too turned into a marathon with her coming to our room 3 times. It has to be said that by that time our patience was being sorely tried. The really good news is the person referred to above did come to work and she was her wonderful, helpful self and we sorted everything out with her. In all other aspects our stay was, as ever extremely enjoyable, THE 2 STARS ABOVE REFER ONLY TO OUR ARRIVAL IN THE HOTEL AND THE WAY THE MISSING ITEMS WERE HANDLED

My family spent a night at the Alexander Pope for a rugby match and had a wonderful time. The staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The rooms were lovely and the location was perfect. There’s plenty of parking and the food in the restaurant was delicious. Bonus, the walk to and from Twickenham stadium didn’t take long at all.

This was our first stay here and was a great location for us as it was near to family and easy walking into Twickenham. Room was a little noisy at night as it was on to the main road and the sound proofing was not great. Coffee, tea and milk were provided but not refilled after the first night unfortunately. All in all nice hotel, comfortable room , just needs a little tweaking
