If you are over 5 foot 6 inches the bed will be too small for you. The room is very tiny with limited space and should be avertised as such. Though it is in a convenient location to king's cross station and most walkable areas in London, the room and bathroom are just too tiny and uncomfortable to have a decent stay in. The staff however are very kind and accommodating as they the bathroom has a electrical shower unit and when it broke they were very quick to offer a vacant room for me to shower in.

Front staff were wonderful, so helpful. Our room was on the 3rd floor and no lift, so we got our exercise. I can’t recommend for anyone who tires easily with stairs. Room was very small and we shared the toilet and shower, which wasn’t a problem. Location was great for our purposes but not a high end street.

Next to St Pancras. Room was brighter and more modern than many similar that I've stayed in nearby. It is small. Like many similar hotels the TV is a bit hit and miss with channels. WiFi was ok. But it was for a night before a Eurostar so I'd happily stay again.

You may love the convenience of being close to Kings Cross station, but you won't be able to close your window due to no control over the temperature in the room. We were unable to sleep for the three nights we were there. The rooms were clean as were the shared bathroom and shower. There are no lifts (elevators) so be prepared to carry your things up (for us) three floors. Our biggest complaint really was the noise. Every night, all night, sirens and street noise.

Really good, affordable small hotel situated very conveniently in central London, close to King's Cross, St Pancras and Euston stations. Spotlessly clean, friendly and efficient staff, recently decorated and ideal for a short stay in the middle of London. Rooms are small but not ridiculously so, with good beds - also quiet, considering the central location. Recommended - I will definitely choose Alhambra again when staying in London.

No elevator and the stairs are really steep and narrow so if you have lots of baggage like we did, perhaps request a ground floor room. Cost us another £30 but did get a private en-suite with that.. rooms are very small although the advert is upfront with that..

Very small room but had everything we needed. Walls very thin and noise above us. We could hear a low rumble from the Tube. Great location to take the Tube anywhere because it’s half a block from St Pancras and Kings Cross stations. Room serviced every other day which was fine. No elevator and narrow stairs.

We stayed here because of the reviews and the proximity to the Underground and trains. However the room was quite small (just enough for 2 twin beds) and my wife found hairs in the bed. If you're lugging large suitcases, the hallways are quite narrow. The staff were friendly.
