Questions about Alexandra Hotel
What is Alexandra Hotel's food hygiene rating?

Is Alexandra Hotel safe to eat at?

When was Alexandra Hotel last inspected?
Alexandra Hotel was last inspected on 17 July 2025, 11 months ago. Food hygiene inspections are unannounced, and the rating is published by Westminster Council rather than by the business.
How does Alexandra Hotel compare to other places in Westminster?
70% of the 5,235 rated food businesses in Westminster hold the top rating of 5, while Alexandra Hotel holds a 2. 233 places in the area share that rating.
Who decides the rating?
Westminster Council inspects Alexandra Hotel and sets the rating; the Food Standards Agency publishes it. Neither the business nor this site can change a rating, a business that disagrees can appeal to its council, and can request a re-inspection once it has fixed the problems.

The Food Standards Agency publishes only a business's rating today, not what it scored before, and not when it moves. We check every UK rating each night. Watch Alexandra Hotel and we will email you the morning after its rating changes.

Is this your business?
A rating of 2 is public, and most customers look. Only 18% of people say they would order from a business rated 2 or below, against 94% from one rated 4. Delivery platforms may decline to list you.
We cannot change this rating, and nor can you. It was set by an environmental health officer at Westminster, and it stands until they inspect again. What you can do:
- Fix what the inspector found, then ask the council for a re-inspection. Most charge between £120 and £316, and will not re-visit within three months of the original inspection.
- If you believe the rating is simply wrong, you have 21 days from being notified to appeal to the council. That is 21 calendar days, not working days.
- You may submit a right to reply at any time. It is published alongside the rating, here, and on the FSA's own site.
