Alhambra Hotel

I am visiting the Alhambra several times a year, because of its super nice team and the perfect location. It is a simple hotel, yet very tidy with super friendly and helpful service and well equipped rooms. My usual room has a suffient (very) small bath, hairdryer, coffeemaker and TV and is always well maintained. I do not book breakfast, but appreciate the option to buy snacks and drinks at the reception. Train stations, busses and tube are 1 minute walk from the hotel and the area offers a wide variety of food options.

For one-night stay it was pretty cool to find and stay in this hotel. Next to the main railway hub but at a quiet street. The room was comfortable and clean. There were kettle with tea an coffee. The staff is very kind and helpful. You should be aware that the hotel is actually some rooms in old Victorian style houses nearby, so therefore there is no lift but it wasn't a problem at all even handing heavy and bulk luggage. I I would definitely recommend it - because of the cleanliness, the comfort and the value for money.

This was my second stay at the Alhambra Hotel, and I've already booked my third. This hotel is such a fantastic value for money. Yes, it's small. The stairs aren't made for our massive suitcases but it doesn't matter when all you're after is a place to sleep at night. The location is superb, the rooms and bathrooms are super clean, the beds are comfy, and the staff is very friendly. I've read other reviews from people complaining about how this hotel doesn't do breakfast... you're in LONDON!! There are SO many fantastic restaurants and cafes that can provide you with breakfast. It shouldn't be a negative mark on this hotel.

Location is perfect, across the road from Kings Cross station. There is a bicycle hire stand right outside too, which we used to get over to Covent Garden. Only £6 for two bicycles for 24hours. Bargain. O’Neills pub right around the corner for watching the sport on tv & found a lovely cafe nearby for breakfast. Very clean & tidy. Quite small, but for the price it really is lovely. Staff at check-in were pleasant & we were able to drop our bags off earlier in the day. Hassle free. No silly hidden charges for stuff….which I hate. Got exactly what we paid for and I’ve paid a lot more for much worse in the past. As we wanted this as cheap as possible, we chose a room with no toilet/shower. It did have a small sink which was handy & the toilet was right outside our door & spotlessly clean. Didn’t use the shower so can’t comment. It was also just on the corridor outside our door. The stairs & hallways are quite narrow, so anyone with large luggage or mobility problems may find that a nuisance, but it wasn’t a bother for us. Reception also has a mini shop with some cold drinks & snacks (crisps, chocolate, fruit) which was cheap & handy. Again nice to see them not trying to rip people off with the prices for this stuff. Would highly recommend as a budget or one night stay.

We did not take any breakfast at the hotel, but very good location to discover London highlights! Located so closed to King Cross underground station and available to reach many center lines of London transportation system. Also easy to come from Stansted Airport is a plus. Rooms are small but enough for 1 week stay, as already mentioned in other comments on booking. An acceptable housekeeping service including daily cleaning trashes and fresh towel met our expectations. Hotel staff were so nice and supportive for any point. Alhambra is currently offering its promises to guests and I wanna stay at Alhambra next time in London.
