If all you want/need is a bed to sleep in this is your place. Hotel allows for luggage storage which is a nice feature if your room isn’t ready. Be warned there is no elevator. No problem if you packed light. We had quite a bit of luggage to carry up narrow staircase. No a/c. Opened windows wide for air. Room facing busy street.

The location is perfect as it’s closer to the tube/train station and walking distance to British Museum. The main downside was we were there one of the hottest weeks and there is no AC, so it was really hot inside the room. Thankfully they did provide a fan but it was still a bit uncomfortable, and being close to the station it was rather noisy even early in the morning.

Excellent location for St Pancras or Kings Cross. 3 minutes walk. Plenty of eating places. Very friendly staff to welcome you. Only draw back is the rumble of underground and some floors creak. Would not put me off staying again as facilities and location excellent

The Alhambra is the best of the smaller hotels built into townhouses in the King's Cross area. Rooms are small, but not as cramped as the others - windows open and fans are available, though typically, summer evenings are cool enough in London. There aren’t a lot of amenities - kettles, always, with coffee and tea making accoutrements- but there isn’t a mini fridge, nor should you expect one. Rooms are very clean, housekeeping and towels changed ever other day, but you can request towels anytime. Someone is on duty 24/7 in the main building and they’re courteous and kind. Be aware the streets are noisy outside! Travellers coming and going at all hours, street cleaners start early, and happy drunk people chat at top volume late at night. Try to get an upstairs room, but remember, you’re lugging your worldly hoods up the narrow stairs if so. The Alhambra offers prices for clean rooms right by King’s Cross/St. Pancras - what more could you want?

Bed was broken and mattress was too small for the bed. Hotel was extremely loud and doors constantly slamming. No fan or A/C was very warm on the top floor. Shared bathrooms seemingly not cleaned and ran out of toilet paper. Great location for Kings Cross.

While the room was very clean along with surrounding areas, it was very small. The lack of an iron was inconvenient as well as not having an even small fridge. Those complaints would not prevent me from returning because of it’s close proximity to St Pancras train station.
