Room was clean. Bathroom very small, and very narrow passage ways presenting some difficulty in transporting even regular size suitcases. However, the most difficult aspect was to transfer suitcases down and up the narrow stairways to your assigned room either in the basement or upper floors( no elevator). Also, with no air conditioning system, the small fan provided was inadequate.

Great 2* hotel

It felt very secure. Great location. Lovely staff. Great 24h cover. Can leave luggage before or after check in/out. Quiet. Comfortable. Fan helpful in the summer. The towel was a touch small that's all.

The rooms are compact but exceptionally clean. The beds were very comfortable, although the pillows were too soft for my liking. There is no air con in the room, just a tiny inefffectual fan, that wafted warm air around. The staff were very helpful & friendly. The location is brilliant, just across from St Pancras & Kings Cross - perfect for trips into the city. The only downside with this hotel is that there is no lift, lugging cases up 3 flights of stairs just about finished us off....our legs were like jelly every tike we went up them. God forbid if you forgot something and had to go back up!!

If all you want/need is a bed to sleep in this is your place. Hotel allows for luggage storage which is a nice feature if your room isn’t ready. Be warned there is no elevator. No problem if you packed light. We had quite a bit of luggage to carry up narrow staircase. No a/c. Opened windows wide for air. Room facing busy street.

The location is perfect as it’s closer to the tube/train station and walking distance to British Museum. The main downside was we were there one of the hottest weeks and there is no AC, so it was really hot inside the room. Thankfully they did provide a fan but it was still a bit uncomfortable, and being close to the station it was rather noisy even early in the morning.

Excellent location for St Pancras or Kings Cross. 3 minutes walk. Plenty of eating places. Very friendly staff to welcome you. Only draw back is the rumble of underground and some floors creak. Would not put me off staying again as facilities and location excellent

The Alhambra is the best of the smaller hotels built into townhouses in the King's Cross area. Rooms are small, but not as cramped as the others - windows open and fans are available, though typically, summer evenings are cool enough in London. There aren’t a lot of amenities - kettles, always, with coffee and tea making accoutrements- but there isn’t a mini fridge, nor should you expect one. Rooms are very clean, housekeeping and towels changed ever other day, but you can request towels anytime. Someone is on duty 24/7 in the main building and they’re courteous and kind. Be aware the streets are noisy outside! Travellers coming and going at all hours, street cleaners start early, and happy drunk people chat at top volume late at night. Try to get an upstairs room, but remember, you’re lugging your worldly hoods up the narrow stairs if so. The Alhambra offers prices for clean rooms right by King’s Cross/St. Pancras - what more could you want?
