I stayed at the Alhambra Hotel ten years ago and looked forward to a return visit. The rooms are just the right size for one person and the location is perfect for getting anywhere in London. Don't stay here if you are needing a large bed or lots of space. Do stay here if you want to support a small local hotel with lots of character.
