Convenient Stay”

We were looking a place that close to King's Cross Station, and this hotel is just a few steps to the station. Their staff at the reception were really friendly and help us with our luggage storage(with cost) for a few days. The room were clean and have every basic things you need. We were given option to choose our room due to big luggage with have, one stair down or 3 stairs up and we choose the basement room. It might having noise issue for some, but it were fine with us. We enjoyed the stay.

Clean, basic, practical - just what we needed!”

I stayed at the Alhambra for one night with two children (aged 4 and 11) and we had a triple room (3 single beds). The room was clean and spacious enough for the three of us. The beds were comfortable and the shower was good (not always the case with more affordable hotels). We were in a ground floor room and could hear the rumbling of the metro in the distance which was not at all a problem for us but could be an issue if you are more sensitive to noise. The location was perfect at just a stone's throw from King's Cross/ St Pancras station and I would absolutely book this hotel again the next time I am in London with kids!

Four minutes walk from kings cross station and yet a quiet road, we all slept well. The room was bright and clean with comfortable beds. The staff pleasant. Best of all was being able to leave our luggage there before check in and the following day after we’d checked out. Only grumble was the creaky floor above meant I could hear the occupant walking about.
