Very convenient location for Kings Cross and St Pancras. Plenty of places to eat nearby. Friendly, helpful staff. The hotel has recently been redecorated. The only problem I had was that two hotel residents decided to start arguing with each other just outside the front door. The night receptionist did eventually adk them to stop.

Would use this hotel again

Just an overnight stay. Check in was super easy. Room was a twin and was a but tight for space but not horrifically. Everything was clean and in good order. Bed comfortable enough though was narrow for me - two or three times i thought i would roll out of bed when turning over. Great location. My room was in a building in the other side of the road from the reception (number 20) but this wasnt an issue. My room was in the back and was surprisingly quiet given the proximity to Euston Rd. Quick and easy check out. They offer a left luggage service.

Room very clean, as well as the bathroom – very clean by British standards. Air conditioning would be useful on such hot days. The only downside is the noise coming from the street, but that’s because the hotel is right next to the train station. Despite that, I highly recommend it.

First visit here as I usually stay at another similar hotel very close by The reception area is neat and tidy and offers a range of snack items. I was given a warm welcome and the very friendly/helpful receptionist helped me with my bag and also sorted out a minor door issue. My single room was a good size, at the back so I was spared any road noise as the area is generally busy. Overall was very pleased with the room facilities and as it was mid week, it was internally quiet but I think I got lucky with fewer people than would be around for a weekend. Also extremely convenient for all transport/food options. Will definitely book again.

Convenient for St Pancras & Kings Cross. The room was compact and basic but noisy. Front door to the property slamming, floorboards creaking from the room above and the rumble of the underground below.

We stayed on 2 separate nights and found the stay good. Only a couple of comments - We were woken up very early on the 9 June with a lot of noise from the patio are outside our room. Also we found the staircase down to our room quite narrow, especially as we both had luggage with us. However, overall we would recommend the Alhambra Hotel.

Weekend stay

The hotel is a short walk from St Pancras station so very convenient. The rooms are compact but very clean and well equipped. We were out all day so just wanted a comfy bed in a clean room with a good shower, so this is exactly what we got. The reception offered snacks, toothpaste etc for sale at reasonable prices along with some breakfast items for those who didn’t want to eat out. Staff were friendly and helpful and we were able to store our luggage so we could make the most of our final day and collect bags on the way back to the station.

Great location

Fantastic location within minutes of St Pancras. Rooms clean, freshly decorated and well appointed. Bathroom / room small but no different to other city hotels. Staff super friendly. Great for short stays.
