We've stayed here perhaps 10 times over the years and it's consistently good value. The rooms are small but very well maintained. The location near St Pancras/Kings Cross is perfect with direct trains to/from Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. Breakfast is OK - limited choice but quickly served. Staff are helpful and efficient, though not always very friendly. Prices are creeping... More

Good, clean hotel a few minutes walk from King's Cross/St Pancreas. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was lovely. My single room was clean and well equipped. Considering the location, it was quiet overnight. The only downside was that the toilet on the 3rd floor didn't have a hand basin.

We stayed twice in this hotel before and after a trip from St Pancras Station. The advantages are that it is just a short walk when you arrive in London late after a train journey, and the price for this area is good value. BUT there are some disadvantages of which you should be aware: 1. No lift. You may... More

Overall, good choice for us this time, the location is excellent if you have an early Eurostar to catch. The renovated bathroom in 13 is very small, but the quality was great. We had to carry our big suitcases up three flights of stairs, which was fine for us but could be a problem for other guests. We liked the... More

Great location, very friendly staff who always try to help and are fazed by nothing. really nice atmosphere. Quality of food for breakfast is excellent and always freshly cooked to order, really sets the day up perfectly. Would always look to stay at the Alhambra for all business and pleasure trips to London

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is quite smart to have a two starred hotel with an almost three starred quality. As a hotel guest it makes me feel I got good value for my money. The feeling of overdelivery makes customers come back, I think. Friendly staff, great breakfast, very tidy bathroom and a clean room, everything... More

This is the second time I stay at the Alhambra, the first time I'd gone with friends and we enjoyed it, this time I went with my 11 year old and her dad and we all liked it very much. The place is clean, the staff are very nice and helpful, and true enough breakfast is very good indeed: good... More

We found all staff at your hotel friendly and welcoming. All areas were spotlessly clean. We slept well after we became used to the trains rumbling underneath! (We live in a quiet coastal village). The room was small but perfect for our needs. Despite it being only 6.15.a.m. we were able to enjoy a very good breakfast before leaving to... More

Hotel is the best, food is great, place is clean, comfortable and the staff are the best. They take a pride in their work and do not have the problems the English have of being in a service industry. Near to BL and can walk to Tottenham Court Road or Regent Street quite easily from there, without having to contend... More
