Single room en suite was compact but clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful especially the lovely breakfast waitress who swapped my bacon/ sausage breakfast as I'd forgotten to ask for veggie only. More

We have stayed in English, German and Italian bed and breakfasts, this was by far the smallest we've seen. That being said, we didn't spend a lot of time in our double room with en-suite bathroom. Our room was small but clean. It is a 30 second walk to the Kings Cross and Saint Pancras stations. Breakfast is great and... More

Very small rooms, but clean, nice and comfortable. I had a double with no facilities, but the shared toilet and shower were very clean, and close to my room. Breakfast is ok, you can choose among the british one or continental. The personnel is very kind and always ready to help you, they keep your luggage all day after the... More

We stayed 9 nights in early April 2012. We had a small ensuite room. The location was just so convenient close to both buses and the underground as well as trains to the continent or elsewhere in the UK. Our room was a bit warmer than we needed but opening the window fixed that perfectly well. Breakfast service was efficient... More

Can't really have much complaints for a £90 room next door to kings cross but just be aware if what you're actually getting and you will be ok. Place is split into two buildings one in the other side of the road opposite reception. The rooms are small which isn't really a problem but the main problem is the standard... More

this was a last minute booking as I normally stay in chain hotels for business trips. Very welcoming and efficient check-in, room small but with all the essentials including workspace and free wifi. All areas scrupulously clean and well-maintained. Very close to tube, offered vegetarian breakfast and breakfast service swift and efficient. could teach larger hotels a lot about effective... More

The Alhambra was a reasonably priced hotel in a great location. We took the tube direct from Heathrow right to Kings Cross station and walked about 2 blocks to the hotel. It is in Bloomsbury and walking distance to beautiful Russell Square and the British Museum. Then you can hop on the tube at Kings Cross or St. Pancras and... More

Me and my husband went to London in November 2011 to watch a soccer match. We had a great time there. The breakfast, cleanness of the room, and staff were great. Thank you to all the staff there, they were great. Andrea from Chicago-USA More

A friend and I booked this family run hotel as a one night stop over in London on our way to Paris. We were very happy with the location as it was so close to St. Pancras. We found the room, although small, very clean and quite adequate for our stay. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was... More

My daughter and I just returned from a vacation in London, and we stayed at the Alhambra on the recommendation of our travel agent. What a find! The room was absolutely immaculate. A little small but certainly adequate. Wonderfully pleasant staff, great breakfast in the morning, and the location was tremendous. It's right at Kings Cross/St. Pancras and from there... More
