We had 1 night stay as we had to be up early to catch the Eurostar. We had a warm welcome on arrival and the staff were accommodating with keeping the rooms as close together as possible. Great location too. I would just point out that there are no lifts. Thank you for a lovely stay.

It is right around the corner from King's Cross - so perfect if you are taking an early morning train. Lots of tiny stairs, so inconvenient for luggage, but they let us keep our largest luggage at the reception area.

I will return to Alhambra

I flew to London for a fun 4 day weekend. I loved that Alhambra was centrally located as I am a walker. Camden and Camden Market are a beautiful walk along the canal. The Hotel Team were very helpful with directions and questions. Lastly to great relief, the hotel found a lost item of mine ( a ring that had sentimental value) and they are sending it back to me in the states. So happy and so pleased with my stay there.

Typical London

They claimed car parking but none was ever available. I was told that there was street parking, not aware that London had that, and NCP nearby. This added 20 gbp to the hotel stay. Furthermore, I took a chance and stopped my car outside the hotel door to unload a heavy suitcase up 8 flights of narrow stairs and when I came back down a traffic warden was slapping an 80gbo fine on my car. Locatiob for the hotel was good but everything else was London. Saddiq Khan has ruined an already bad money grubbing city. I am not enamoured with London yet and I am 75 years old.
