Alhambra Hotel

Stayed here one night due to its being thisclose to st. Pancras to catch a 7 am Eurostar train to Paris. Nice enough area there are a couple of pubs, a Chinese restaurant, grocery and a real good fish and chips shop North Sea nearby. Room itself is just OK. Small, very spartan, and clean. Not much else to say, except I wouldn’t want to stay here more than one night

We only spent one night here, which would be the max I would recommend for anyone. We were leaving on the Eurostar in the morning and got in from Leicester where we had a party to attend in the late afternoon. So that was all we needed was a bed for the night. At first glance it was pretty horrifying, a big open window right on the street, I didn’t expect my Ipad to make it through the night, so I tried to hide stuff while we walked to the British Museum. Nothing was lost and the bed was comfortable, we awakened early and went to the train station. On the Eurostar we got stuck at a tabel with four people, one of them a large Australian (and his wife) with gigantic legs. Wasn’t the most comfortable 48 hours of my life, between the alhambra and the eurostar. Then on the way back it happened again, although with normal sized people. In retrospect my wife and I should have sat across from each other instead of next to each other, so we could have mingled feet with a legal spouse instead of an Australian stranger of dubious repute.

Stayed at The Alhambra last week on Friday to Saturday. Really nice family hotel, great breakfast, clean, cosy, comfortable room.

Excellent value for money!
I have spent two nights at this hotel and it’s location is perfect, only 3 minutes from Kings Cross and St. Pancras stations.
It’s a very friendly and welcoming police, clean, tidy well maintained.
It’s certainly not the top hotel in London, but value for money it is far better than most I have used, and the family-​run atmosphere really makes it a homely place.
The room I had was more than adequate and the en-​suite was very clean with good towels, soap and shower gel provided (not always the case in less expensive hotels I have noticed recently).
Tea & coffee and the private safe in the room is a nice extra to have.
Breakfast was a tad chaotic as it was very very busy, but the service was friendly and quite efficient. The staff really seem to like working here, and even remembered my order on the 2^nd morning i went down for breakfast.
I will be staying here again.
Only downside is the 3% charge for using credit card or foreign bank debit cards, I’d give 5 stars but for this.

Okay, let’s be honest, this is not a five star hotel, but this place exceeded my expectations and I would happily stay here again — so a 5 full stars. My mom and I were coming in for a night from Paris via the Eurostar and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a place, since we were already paying for a night in our Paris apartment. I paid 99 pounds for a two single bed room with private bathroom.
The first great thing about this hotel is it’s location. It’s right across the street from St. Pancras and King’s Cross stations. It was great that we didn’t have to waste time getting from the train to the hotel and vice versa on the way back. It’s also great because Kings Cross has a tube station making it super convenient to get around.
Check in was easy, and the lady at reception was very lovely. To our surprise our room was ready so we could go in, drop our bags and freshen up before hitting the town. The room was tiny, but clean and had a nice flat screen TV, a closet and a kettle for making tea (and instant coffee).
Breakfast is included so in the morning they will serve you up a full English breakfast or a continental breakfast depending on what you chose, along with all the toast you could want.
They stored out bags for us for the day after checking out and were nice enough to let us add things to it after I did a bit too much shopping to handle carrying around.
Oh, I forgot to mention, but wifi is included in the room rate, which is awesome.
I would recommend this place to anyone wanting an inexpensive spot in London, and it really is convenient if your are coming in via Paris.

I stayed here recently and it was something out of this world to be honest, it was by far one of the best hotels i’ve stayed in with great service and lovely rooms. WORTH IT!

Great location! the hotel is nice, the prices are ok and the service is good.

This is a great B&B just steps from Kings Cross/​St. Pancras Underground and train stations. There is nowhere in London you can’t get to easily from here. The British Library is right across Euston Road and Regents Park is a reasonable walk further up the road. The British Museum is also in comfortable walking distance.
The staff are attentive and quick to take care of your needs and the room prices are good. Breakfast is standard English or a good continental selection. I almost hate to let the world know about the Alhambra, as I would want to have room availability on a return trip, but they deserve the good review more. There is also a great selection of restaurants in the area, including a family pub next door to a launderette in case you need to catch up on wash. Definitely would come back again.

We stayed in the summer, on the hottest day of the year. Londoners loved it, but we were expecting something cooler. Thankfully they gave us a fan, which droned out the sound of the kids in the school yard behind the room. We stayed in the rooms across the street. Small but OK room. This is nicely located near Kings Cross and St Pancras stations, we walked to the British Museum. Food nearby, nice pubs away from the main drag. Breakfast was big, overflowing plates.

another fabulous hotel

Je dis Bravo ! Réservation en ligne pour 2 nuits (chambre double avec salle de bains sur le palier /​petit déj’ inclus).
L’hotel est très bien situé. A peine descendu de l’eurostar, 5 minutes à pied et vous y êtes. Les personnes à l’accueil parlent français, cela peut mettre à l’aise les moins anglophones d’entre nous.
Chambre riquiqui mais mignonne et pratique comme tout. Petit Dej’ salé ou sucré, comme on veut.
Enfin, ils peuvent vous dépanner côté bagages. On peut laisser ses valises à l’hotel le dernier jour si on veut avoir les mains libres pour visiter Londres. Pas vraiment de risqué de vol. Voilà, une petite attention que j’ai trouvé très agréable.
Adresse à conseiller sans aucun doute !

Super Preis-​Leistungsverhältnis, zentrale Lage, würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten, kann das Hotel empfehlen.
Das Hotel ist auf zwei, drei Häuser verteilt, die alle in der gleichen Straße sind. Wie in diesem Preissegment in London üblich, sind die Zimmer recht klein. Aber sie sind blitzsauber. Allerdings sind sie auch ein wenig hellhörig.
Das englische Frühstück ist der Hammer, und auch das Continental Breakfast hebt sich vom Standard ab.

I liked my stay here.
The location was excellent and the fact that it was obviously family run was great, but the best bit was the breakfast!
I didnt need to eat lunch after i scoffed myself on the sausages and bacon.
Would def stay again, specially if I plan to take the eurostaf

This is a great place to stay as it is so close to Kings Cross Station and central London and it’s good value for a city hotel (we paid £65 for both of us, including breakfast). The rooms are small but pleasantly furnished and with a tiny en-​suite as well. Many of the rooms are actually across the road in a different building from the Reception desk. If you have a bedroom on that side you need to go over the road in the morning for breakfast. There is a small dining room near the Reception and quite a hearty breakfast on offer with several choices, some vegetarian ones as well. Nice friendly staff too.
