Use the Alma for business purposes. Nice, clean, generous size rooms. Modern decor. Very convenient as there is a station opposite. Pub/restaurant gets very busy and atmosphere is good. If you want a meal I would recommend you book. Food is excellent. Have stayed on a number of occasions and service is always good.

We came to The Alma for the first stop on our honeymoon. We let them know that we would arrive early and they accomodated us with no problem. After arriving and checking in, we decided to have some breakfast before going up to our room. During breakfast they came to let us know that our card we were using for... More

High quality room (we were in room 2) superb shower, comfy bed all very good. Spoke to the manager who was on the ball and wanted to know everything was in order. Great... More

Everybody loves London, and everybody hates outdated ridiculously over priced "central" london hotels. Hotel is located at Wandsworth (town) very easy to reach, all you have to do is having a daily transportation card includes both trains and undergroung (metro) for 7 pounds. From vauxhal and vaterloo metro stations there are junctions for the train. From Oxford circus i takes... More

I can't think of anything at all to criticise about the Alma. The room was spacious and the bathroom fantastic. In the evening, we ate in the gastropub-style restaurant and loved it. The breakfast menu was varied and interesting, including variations on eggs Benedict. As well as the usual combination with ham, you could choose a spinach Florentine version, or... More

Overall a really good stay, but a few things need tweaking. I cannot fault the room at all, very tastefully decorated, comfy bed, good lighting for a hotel and so on. I agree with others about poor water pressure in bathroom, but overall I thought the bathroom was lovely. A few gripes we had were the safe in our room... More

I absolutely loved this hotel. Great room, comfy bed, complimentary White Company toiletries, fantastic breakfast...it was all amazing! I was a bit worried when we arrived because the pub attached to the hotel was VERY lively (Six Nations rugby was on and the place was heaving). But the hotel itself was silent - possibly the quietest hotel I've ever stayed... More

I live in Glasgow, and travel to London often, with my Husband, and children aged 4 (twins) to visit my family who live in Wandsworth. The dilemma I usually face, is where to stay that has an adequate sleeping configuration, so that when my children are put to bed, my Husband and I still have a comfortable evening. We have... More
