We stayed for three nights with Hotel Alhambra after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. The hotel is in a nice area close to the london metro. We found the staff (run by a family) very pleasant and our room super clean. The non-ensuite room we had was small (as expected) but its soundproof walls and soft bed made it a... more

Husband and I stayed here 1 night as we had an early eurostar train next day. The room was very small. Barely room to move around beds, in fact I caught my toe on one of the bed legs and it was sore for several days We have stayed in Kings Cross before in nearby property and room was a... more

I only stayed at the Alhambra for one night of a 2 week UK vacation, but I must say, it was a very nice hotel with a very helpful staff. The location is excellent--right across from King's Cross station--which was a big draw. The young lady working the front desk actually helped carry our luggage upstairs--something none of the other... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Alhambra for 4 nights at the beginning of our 4 week tour of Europe. The location is great. The rooms a little small, but with good closet space. The breakfast is filling and shower hot. A great place to stay on a budget! more

I had room number 11 (across the street in no.20 argyle st) and although it was very small it was comfortable and had a modern lcd tv, tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was ok (full english or cereal), but the B&B's strongest point is the friendly staff. The French lady who seems to run the place is particularly nice, as is... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, and it was perfect. The location was excellent, as it was easy to find when coming out of the train station and it was right next to the underground. They sent us across the road to the Argyll, not sure if this is still part of the hotel but... more

This is just a great little hotel. It is small, but clean and the people are very friendly. The full English breakfast is very good and if you don't like your eggs in the morning there is toast en a array of cereal you can choose from. Kings Cross and Pancras Station are around the corner so you can take... more

We've stayed in quite a few budget hotels in London and a lot of them are awful. Not the Alhambra though. The hotel is very clean and tidy, that was my first impression. Ok the rooms are not the biggest but there comfortable. One word of caution though. If you stay on the 1st floor the toilets and showers are... more

After a lot of researching to find a decent hotel in London, I managed to find this one..it caught my attention since it was managed by portuguese people, and me being portuguese, I gave it a try and.. Yes, it just absolutely great! Ok, the rooms were very small, but when you're in London you're not going to be in... more

My family and I first stayed here on holiday three years ago. Since then I've stayed here on business trips when needing a cheap, cheerful place to sleep . It's not a multi-star business hotel, of course - no phones in the rooms (although who uses those now when we all have mobiles anyway?) The owners clearly love their work... more
