Alhambra Hotel

“Very good vibes for our stay in Alhambra Hotel”

Needed a hotel very close to St Pancras for early start on Eurostar. We could not have picked a better hotel. Whilst booking I mentioned we were OAP's and would prefer a ground floor room.

Needed a hotel very close to St Pancras for early start on Eurostar. We could not have picked a better hotel. Whilst booking I mentioned we were OAP's and would prefer a ground floor room. We were allocated a room just off reception on ground floor, just perfect. Room was lovely and clean, not spacious but quite adequate for one night. The receptionist, Mahima, was so wonderfully welcoming and helpful, certainly a credit to this hotel which we would recommend.

“Well-maintained hotel with small room in central location”

Myself and a friend stayed for two nights during a heatwave in early-July. Our room was in 22 Argyle Street - across the street from Reception (19 Argyle Street). Confusingly 20 Argyle Street is also part of the same hotel! Pros: -Helpful and friendly staff. -Free WiFi. -Reception Desk & small Lob… more

Myself and a friend stayed for two nights during a heatwave in early-July. Our room was in 22 Argyle Street - across the street from Reception (19 Argyle Street). Confusingly 20 Argyle Street is also part of the same hotel! Pros: -Helpful and friendly staff. -Free WiFi. -Reception Desk & small Lobby - we arrived at 10:30am and were allowed to leave our suitcases - free of charge - with Reception. A member of staff put our suitcases in our room, a nice touch. We left our suitcases after checkout in the Luggage Room on our last day as we had a late train. Lobby sells snacks, drinks, postcards, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shaving razors. -Room 24 two single beds. Key entry to building and key fob access to room. Small room. Telephone (old, not working) - use WhatsApp to contact Reception. Mirror. QR Code for WiFi. Small bin. Chair & desk plus kettle with tea/coffee making facilities. Suitcase stand. Cupboard with hanging space, two drawers, desk fan, electronic safe. Wall-mounted hairdryer. Wall-mounted Samsung smart TV (Freeview channels, YouTube app).

Notes: -Breakfast - we took bowls & spoons and cereals and bought breakfast items (milk, orange juice, yoghurt, fruit) from M&S Simply Food and Tesco Express 0.2 miles away. -St Pancras International and King’s Cross stations are a 5 minute walk away.

“Cossy hotel near Pancras stafion”

Hotel was ok, close to the Pancras station, the room was a one person room, very small but doable. The bathroom was very small, so not having claustrofobya 😛 i slept well. Points to inprove: install airvco and maybe a small fridge

“Excellent Location with Caveats”

Hotel’s location was excellent as it is very close to the train station and metro line. Note that we were assigned a room across the street from the reception office and that there are no lifts/elevators to assist if you are assigned an upper floor. Room was extremely small and the washroom was tig… more

Hotel’s location was excellent as it is very close to the train station and metro line. Note that we were assigned a room across the street from the reception office and that there are no lifts/elevators to assist if you are assigned an upper floor. Room was extremely small and the washroom was tighter than ones on cruise ships. My wife and I are small individuals and we could not both fit in to use the sink in the washroom. Very limited space to open both of our carrryons and walk in the room without shifting a chair or closing a carryon. The room got warm in the evening and we had to keep the window open to cool down the room. Luckily, we visited in early May as the room has no air conditioning. We did see a small portable fan sitting on top of the room’s safe located in the closet. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful .
