The location is excellent, with Kings Cross / St Pancras being only a 5 minute walk away. The staff is very friendly, and the property and rooms are clean and well maintained. The only slight drawback is that the bathroom sink is very small and there is no space for toiletries. But with so many other great things about the place, I plan to keep coming back.

Know your strength before booking here. No lift, narrow stairs, constant fire doors, make getting bags to rooms a challenge. Checking in and out was fast and simple. Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. The Alhambra rooms are in two facing row houses. They're small -- tiny, actually -- but clean. It's all about location close to St. Pancras and King's Cross station.

I stayed at the Alhambra Hotel ten years ago and looked forward to a return visit. The rooms are just the right size for one person and the location is perfect for getting anywhere in London. Don't stay here if you are needing a large bed or lots of space. Do stay here if you want to support a small local hotel with lots of character.

Really well located property for travelling by tube around London. 3min walk from KingsCross/St Pancreas. Staff were lovely, room was spotless and a lovely touch, array of breakfast/drinks available in reception. Would definitely use again when next in London.

Building built in the 19th century and feels as such. No lift and narrow stairwell including to leave your bags checked at departure. No assistance from staff re bags. No AC on warmest days in the UK. Expedia very misleading about shared bathroom and shower and size of bed. Had to move to other room and pay an extra rate to upgrade both issues.

THERE IS NO AC. Even with cool weather the room and whole hotel has no ventilation. Even with the window wide open and the fan on it’s baking hot. Also the double beds are only a full bed, slightly bigger than a single and very short. The room basically has enough room to squeeze sideways around the bed to the shower. Fine if you get for a good deal but be prepared for what you get. It’s right across from Kings Cross /St Pancras station and very great access to the whole of London. If you need a cool might though you will not have it here. No other complaints, it’s basic but clean.

The Alhambra was a sweet, clean, old school hotel on a quiet and charming block very close to King's Cross. The room and ensuite were clean, and under normal circumstances the room would have been fine for adult travelers with minimal luggage. We actually stored our large suitcases at King's Cross and we were so happy we did because it would have been impossible to navigate the tiny staircases with big suitcases, but that's frankly our issue and not the hotel's. However, we were at the Alhambra during the current heatwave in London and the room was so unbearably hot from the sun, lack of circulation, no ceiling fan, and one tiny, weak desk fan I was afraid we would have heat stroke in the room. It was dangerously hot. I know all of Europe is struggling with building design and new extreme heat, but the Alhambra needs to address this for travelers in the summer. Add a window aircon unit, a second more powerful fan, literally anything to address the heat issue before there is a serious health issue in the hotel.

No lifts on this property, and the stairs are narrow and hard to navigate w heavy luggage. Good property for the young person with small luggage. Less so for the elderly or people with heavy luggage.

I’ve stayed at the Algambra multiple times, when I have a few extra days in London— it’s easy to hop on a train or get to Heathrow, small but comfortable rooms, and in my price range.

When we booked we didn't realize the "hotel" was not air-conditioned. We visited London during a heatwave 95 to 96 degrees 4 days straight. They did provide 2 fans which helped some. Room was smaller than I expected. We have bedrooms home that are larger than the combined room and bathroom. Our shower at home is larger than the entire restroom. This was more of what I would call a guest house. Not exactly a hotel. Overall the stay was fine. Staff was great and very helpful.

The room was basic but clean and well maintained. It was just what we needed as we only used it for sleeping on two consecutive nights. The downside is that it was not very soundproof. the person above was pacing the room from 1am until 5am on our second night. They used the shower at 2:30am. It kept us awake. Not good for a light sleeper and we forgot the ear plugs. Not the hotel fault.

Nice little room. We happened to be there on a 90 degree day, so the fan was appreciated. The food in the front office that one could buy for breakfast was not optimal. Location was perfect! Our room looked over a quiet courtyard and we were so close to transportation hub, including the Eurostar. Thanks!
