Stayed in a single room with ensuite in the basement for two nights. Room was very clean but extremely small, like Tokyo size rooms. The bed was small, I'm 5'8" and when I lay on my stomach my toes hung off the end of the bed. Tried to sleep in the afternoon after my flight but there was construction going... More

Although the customer service was nice, we will not stay here again. My husband and I found the room and bathroom to be extremely small. We are average sized people so I cannot imagine how someone who was overweight would feel in the bathroom where only one person could be in the room at a time and where the sink... More

We stayed in the basement of the annexe hotel which was fine - well equipped, clean room with modern decor. Some noise from underground trains but for the money you can't complain. Handy for St Pancras, Kings Cross and Euston stations but in a quiet neighbourhood with some nice pubs and restaurants. Similar spec to a travelodge but with breakfast... More

It's location, cleanness, facilities, and friendly people are not what you can usually expect from the their price! I really enjoyed staying there. Just before, I stayed another chain-hotel in Victoria area, but their bad hospitality and clumsy facilities was NOT worth its price (about the twice of Alhambra) at all. If you are too sensitive about noise from other... More

Anyone wanting an overnight stop before using St Pancras International would be hard pushed to find anywhere better at such a competitive price. We had one of the hotel's en-suite rooms across the road. It was not large but spotless and adequate. Breakfast was excellent.

Single room en suite was compact but clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful especially the lovely breakfast waitress who swapped my bacon/ sausage breakfast as I'd forgotten to ask for veggie only.

We have stayed in English, German and Italian bed and breakfasts, this was by far the smallest we've seen. That being said, we didn't spend a lot of time in our double room with en-suite bathroom. Our room was small but clean. It is a 30 second walk to the Kings Cross and Saint Pancras stations. Breakfast is great and... More

Very small rooms, but clean, nice and comfortable. I had a double with no facilities, but the shared toilet and shower were very clean, and close to my room. Breakfast is ok, you can choose among the british one or continental. The personnel is very kind and always ready to help you, they keep your luggage all day after the... More

We stayed 9 nights in early April 2012. We had a small ensuite room. The location was just so convenient close to both buses and the underground as well as trains to the continent or elsewhere in the UK. Our room was a bit warmer than we needed but opening the window fixed that perfectly well. Breakfast service was efficient... More

Can't really have much complaints for a £90 room next door to kings cross but just be aware if what you're actually getting and you will be ok. Place is split into two buildings one in the other side of the road opposite reception. The rooms are small which isn't really a problem but the main problem is the standard... More
