Alhambra Hotel Reviews

The rooms are clean and fairly modern. But I was given a shoe-box sized single room in the rafters which was absolutely tiny. The single bed was crammed against an extremely drafty sash window so I shivered all night and barely slept. How they can possibly justify charging £112 for this (a single room as well!) is beyond me. You can anticipate to be hit with a surprise credit card fee as well.
Expect a wait and a queue for breakfast.
On the plus side its v close to kings cross and st pancras so at least you can get make a swift get-away.

Just stayed overnight as had an early train in the morning. The hotel is 2 minutes from Kings Cross, clean, friendly and we were able to have breakfast at 5.30 am which I was most impressed about! The staff were really helpful and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel.

Excellent customer service-very cheerfu and helpfull staff- room a bit small for a couple but for a couple of nights very good value. Excellant location everything a bus ride away.
Will stay again but in a bigger room.

Excellent value for central London, basic but clean and friendly, would like hairdryer in room, but was available to borrow from reception across the road. Excellent location for eurostar literally across the road

Staff welcoming, hotel very clean as was room. beds comfortable and lovely soft pillows! (a rarity in most hotels) Breakfast was really nice plenty of choice. Hotel was excellent value for money I will deffinitely stay again and will be recommending it to family and friends. Only downside, albeit very minor, there was no lift had to haul cases upstairs.

I was attending a day conference so booked this room for the night before to be near the station I arrived at . It was very convenient. Clean recently upgraded, warm, and I was upgraded to a double room(although it was a very small room for a double). The breakfast was plentiful and good with full English, fruit etc. All the staff were helpful and courteous.

Excellent location, clean, friendly and practical. Strongly recommended.

Everything was fine for a one-night business trip. The receptionist volunteered to upgrade my booking from a single to a double room. My small but clean and modern room was in an unmarked, elegant 'house' opposite the main hotel. This was actually quite a pleasant change and I enjoyed the sense of having my own front door in central London! I didn't have time for breakfast so can't comment on the hotel catering.

The Alhambra is the nicest looking hotel in a whole street of hotels. Very close to St. Pancras Station.
Rooms are not large but are clean and well equiped. Breakfast was good.
Our only problem was the lack of a lift.

All staff very helpful from start to finish. Room changed to ground floor without even being asked, Kitchen staff served me breakfast before kitchen even opened, so I could catch a very early train. Quiet & very clean. Maze-like, a little like being down the rabbit-hole in "Alice" but that just adds to the experience!

Ideal if you just want somewhere to sleep for 1 or 2 nights, very small room, but had everything we needed! Great location about 2 min walk from Kings Cross.

My single room with shared toilet and shower was fairly small but perfect for what I wanted - a good value central London hotel where I could sleep in a clean and comfortable bed. There are no frills, as you would expect for the price, but it was very clean and perfect for what I wanted.

Good place to stay, convenient for King's Cross / Euston. Pleasant service. Single room was small but comfortable and clean.

We chose this hotel because of its location to St Pancras. We didn't eat breakfast because we were catching a really early train. We were offered a continental even before breakfast officially opened.

The second time I have stayed in your hotel, I cannot fault it. It will certainly not be the last.

Great value for money. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are just right for collapsing after a busy day in london. The breakfast sets you up for the day.

This hotel was perfect for my short business trip to London. The room was immaculate and the location is an easy walk from public transportation.

Well appointed friendly hotel. Staff were pleasant and helpful, breakfast very good. Would recommend.

This is a handy but expensive base for St pancreas. Stations just 5 minutes away. However there are other hotels on same road with double glazing so you stand a chance of a night's sleep else where.
The food was adequate but boring. Officially breakfast starts 7am so we had to make do with cereal and white toast for an early start. The bathroom was a bit grubby and no hair drier so i couldn't get a shower. Also we were put in a room across the road from reception so I couldn't be bothered to go in search for assistance. We were only there for 8 hours so it didn't feel like value for money.

Standard double en-suite room . Room was tiny, no ironing facilities or clock. shower head was broken and shower gel in room appeared unpleasant. Typical of a London hotel room, this was over priced, with little in the way of amenities but in a convenient location. I was expecting a premier travel inn or travel lodge level of quality but was disappointed. I feel price should have been in the region of £85 rather than the £111 I paid. I am from Manchester where money appears to go further so maybe I am biased and my critique is a reflection of London hotels in general rather than specifically the Alhambra.

This is an exceptionally good value hotel, which is spotlessly clean, extremely well run and puts many budget chains to shame.

Excellent hotel.
Only 2 min walk to St Pancrass Train Station, great if catching Eurostar
Very friendly. Clean comfortable rooms.

Ideal location for pre or post Eurostar travel. Room was clean although small. More a stop over than long term accomodation.

Good level of cleanliness the hotel was adequate for my needs as a one-night stopover, I would stay again but only if it was one night. It was close to the station, restaurants and the venue I was visiting. My room was in the basement, which meant there was some train or underground noise. The room was very small and the basin was outside the en suite.

Walking down Argyle St we were really worried passing the scuddy hotels, but were pleasantly relieved when we got to this hotel.
bad bits: the room was small and being on the top floor (in the attic) the walls sloped so felt claustrophobic. there is no lift, and being on the 3rd floor was a bit annoying. i didnt realise when i booked the bathroom was communal.
good bits: location wise it cant be beaten. the rooms were clean and fairly recently decorated. the staff were really friendly. the breakfast was good and there was plenty of tea and coffee in the room. the free wifi was also really appreciated.

Hotel ideally located for central london. Clean and pleasant. Breakfast of good quality. Service excellent. Staff friendly and helpful

This is a great family run hotel, it is very organised and very clean, we have stayed there twice and will definately stay there again.

This is well placed for King's Cross & bus service but single rooms were small and mine was very noisy (faced the main road, no double-glazing). £10 deposit to use the hair dryer! Breakfast was fine and freshly prepared. I wouldn't stay there again.

I stayed on the top floor of the annex (the house on the opposite side of the street). Room small as is usual in similar hotels in London, ensuite bathroom even smaller. But it was clean and comfortable and the free wifi was welcome. Full English breakfast was good - though served only to 9am. Excellent location for St Pancras/Kings Cross.

This trip I traveled individually so I booked a single room. The hotel is very near the Kings Cross St Pancras station. Just about a minute I could walk and drag my luggage to a door with a castle-like logo, which is the front door of the hotel. The receptionist is nice, and the front desk has many leaflets for traveling information.
Step up the stairs came to my single room. Although at a first glance it was small where I could barely fit my suitcase in, the facilities provided are very much appreciated as it provides WiFi, TV, and water kettle, and they look pretty new. The bathroom was clean, and shower facility is easy to control with sufficient water pressure. The bed is moderately soft / hard, so it is more suitable for my back (it is the most comfortable mattress out of the hostels I tried throughout my trip to Europe). In the morning, the breakfast was served downstairs and the staff were nice. I could have choices of English breakfast and Continental breakfast, and the breakfast was prepared quite fast.
The only downside is the noise from the street could be clearly heard, as my room is located just above the front door. Other than this point, the hotel is overall pretty decent for the price.

Room and bathroom were small but functional and very clean. The only critisim of the room was that the shower was very poor, almost not worth using. The breakfast provided was very nice and the staff were lovely and very helpful. The hotel suited us as were out seeing the sights most of our stay so only used the room to sleep.

Basic but good for the price!

Good location, friendly staff, comfortable bed, nice breakfast.
also, we were able to check in earlier than 1pm which was very conveinent for us as we arrived a few hours early. staff kindly held our bags after check out time aswell.
all in all very pleasent stay and worth the money paid considering its central location as well.

We stayed here for 4 nights mid January after reading the reviews on late rooms and other review sites. The hotel was very conveniently situated for Kings Cross and St Pancras-just 5 minutes walk to the Station and Underground. The hotel lived up to all of its excellent reviews. The breakfast was delicious and the Staff were very helpful and friendly. There are lots of places to eat nearby if you don't want to travel but all in all The Alhambra is an excellent base for visiting Londons sites and attractions.

My room was on the other side of the road on the ground floor. the room was ok but you could hear trains or the underground through the floor. A good breakfast.

Room was small, clean, staff very friendly, sadly i was given the front room above the main entrance so was quite noisey during the night. As i was only stopping one night, not too much of an issue, but great value for the money!

Very clean room with simple utensils such as an electrical kettle & a tv. A friendly receptionist greeted me at the front desk. The access at the front door made the place a lot safer since it can only be accessed by the hotel guests only. The hotel was near Kings Cross Underground and St Pancras. A pleasant simple stay, ideal for those looking for a minimalistic hotel.

I stayed with my two teenage children and we had a room opposite the main hotel on the ground floor which was good value and quiet considering it was so near Kings Cross. The only drawback was the noise from the shower in the room above us at 6.30am. The breakfast was very good the next morning.

Excellent value for money. Could n't fault the room, service, breakfast. would like to stay again. Many thanks

If every independent hotel was run like the Alhambra the bland franchises would be fighting a losing battle.
Given this is central London you expect relatively smaller rooms and higher prices. Within it's context this Hotel is first class.
