“Excellent value for money and friendly service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I wanted a hotel near St Pancras which would be good value for money. The Alhambra is incredibly well located and I was very pleasantly surprised by its quality - all new carpets and the room had been freshly decorated. The bed was comfy and the sheets appeared to be soft Egyptian cotton - everywhere was spotlessly clean. I was also delighted to discover that the room was very quiet. All the staff were very kind and friendly particularly at breakfast. Given that breakfast was included in the price I thought it was excellent value and would definitely stay again.

Room Tip: My room on the top floor did get very stuffy but I presume there might have been a way to moderate t...

Easy to find on a relatively quite side road opposite King's Cross Station.

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Ensuite room small but clean and well lit.

Ideal from an overnight stay.

This hotel is great value for money in a good location, close to Kings Cross, St Pancras & Euston stations. Staff were very warm and friendly. Room was very clean and warm (it was freezing outside!) Beds comfy and lovely soft pillows. Breakfast was great with plenty of choice. I can't believe what good value for money this hotel is especially for London. Will deffinitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone going for a city break. Only downside, there is no lift so had to haul cases upstairs, but I am sure if you were struggling they would only be to happy to help.

Room Tip: If you struggle to get upstairs ask for a room on ground floor.

we stayed in this hotel last december and will definitely go there again. I always stay at Kings Cross when i visit london as i find it as a great location with a budget. The room though small is comfortable compared to other hotels i stayed in which were much more expensive. very clean, the breakfast is good and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Location as already said is great, with only 2 minutes walk from Kings Cross/St Pancras, also very easy to travel to and from airport. I greatly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting London!

Room Tip: if available, you might want to ask for a room at groundfloor level as there is no lift.

“Good Value Hotel - EPIC Stairs!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed 4 nights in the Alhambra Hotel in a very small but spotless room. We did not get the en-suite but were impressed by how clean the shower and toilet was. The stairs give you a pretty good workout especially if you are staying on the third floor and carrying heavy backpacks, I think it would be worse with a big suitcase. The breakfast is excellent, a solid English breakfast (bacon, eggs, beans, sausages, tomato & toast) with your choice of tea/coffee, they offer a continental breakfast, but its just not as satisfying. The service from the waiter/waitresses was really good, they are very nice and attentive. Other tripadvisor's have mentioned how good the location is - it's really as good as it gets, just down the road from St Pancras International, Kings Cross Metro Station, and a bus stop.

Room Tip: Request a room on the first floor unless you have excellent leg muscles. Its not that bad, it just t...
