It was ideal being close to St Pancras abd Kings Cross station as we were leaving in the Eurostar that day. However the room was tiny with narrow passages etc

I had a basement room which i assume was in the vicinity of the sewage outflow, so the smell the first night was questionable. However, for location, price, service of staff, and value it was good.

Truly felt like you were staying in a doll house. The most absolute overpriced doll house size of a room. No air so you have to sleep with the window open which means tons of street noise. The closet of a bathroom was comical with the toilet halfway under the sink. Overall just a total rip off of a “space”. If you’re only doing one night it’s doable but keep these little capsule rooms as a total last resort. Check in was easy and nice. Room was clean. Bed was pretty comfortable but the claustrophobic feeling made it difficult to stay here.

Excellent location close to mainline and underground stations. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Rooms are small but perfectly clean and adequate for short stays allowing easy access to everything London has to offer from theatre, galleries,museums and sightseeing. Would recommend.

The location was excellent for my needs, very close to St.Pancras Station. Room and stairwells were clean, recently painted and well kept up. Room is minimalist (small) but comfortable bed. Overall good value for the price.

Great location for our trip on the Eurostar later in the week. It was hot when we stayed and there is no air con so we needed the window open at night which made it a little noisy. Not so bad you couldn't sleep but was woken a couple off times with sirens due to the location close to central London. We were given room one which was a twin. The room was compact but fine for our needs (we basically slept and showered there) and the en-suite shower was tiny. These were minor quibbles as the place was so close to St Pancras with tube services into central London. the hotel staff were polite and friendly, with really easy check in and out. Snack and breakfast boxes were available if needed, but there was a Costa 2 mins walk away as well as a Burger King.

Simple, clean, no fuss, small room but inexpensive and great for a one night stopover. Only a couple of minutes from St Pancras Station. I would definitely book again.

Great hotel, fantastic location, wonderful staff. Hotel is very clean but the rooms are small. If a small room is a deal breaker, spend more money and go somewhere else. But if you need a clean room with all the necessities only steps away from kings cross, this is the place for you.

Although the room looked clean, it smelled of dirty cat litter. I had to navigate a maze of narrow stairs to the room, which is inconvenient with luggage.

Poor Alhambra
I rarely give a poor rating but this place deserves it! I am 64 and suffering from Vertigo. They give me a "Room" (Soooooooo Small) on the Third floor NO LIFT Shared Shower and Toilet 😠 When I appealed, she said MORE MONEY and it's not her place! I wanted to buy a Coke for $1.50 but you had to spend $5.00😠 The only good was the Location...oh and a kind young man carried my luggage up and down.
