I’m not interested in sharing it was poor I’d never stay there again

Love how clean and spotless it was! We only stayed for 1 night but over all it was perfect! And for once we had a friendly staff since at our previous hotel everyone was kinda rude and not friendly. Also, since we needed to be at the train station at Kings Cross early morning. All we had to do was just get up and walk to the train station. ☺️ if I go back to London definitely will be stay there again.

For $300 a night, I expected better. We reserved a room the night before for an early train at St Pancras. I reserved 5 months in advance yet we were given a room in the basement! People walking by could look down and right into our room. It did not look like the pictures. There was no AC and the window didn’t even have a screen, bugs were flying in. We were afraid to leave it open too wide in case of rats. The room was to accommodate three people and it was so small we could barely move around each other. The bathroom was also very small, the shower stall reminded me of an RV camper and the hotel did not supply washcloth. From people walking by to hearing the rumble of the underground, it was not a pleasant night. The area around seemed dirty and unsafe, many bums and trash on the street.

Pros: The hotel is very well located, near to a very important train & metro station. The staff was polite and friendly. Cons: The rooms are very small, leaving no space to open your luggage or walking. There is no air conditioning, only a tiny fan.

Clean. Conveniently located. Renovated bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff. Outside noise during day and evening but hard to avoid based on location.

Perfect location - decent accommodation. Would stay here again in the future.

Very convenient to the King’s Cross tube station for easy access to public transportation. LOTS of tight stairs, very small room/bathroom. Came in and cleaned even with fo not disturb sign up.

The room was small for 4 people but we'd expected it so there was no problem. The room was cleaned everyday when we were there. The breakfast was good also. Staff was very helpful. We were glad to stay there for 4 days.

Dear Mr. Stephen,We think that whatever you needed during your stay with us was supplied in accordance with our lodging service. We regret that you, an aspirational guest with high standards for an affordable lodging, were among our esteemed guests. I believe we tried our best to give you the best we could, as the majority of our guests attest to the cleanliness of our facility and the kindness of our staff. Given your extremely high standards, I would recommend that you stay in a high-end hotel rather than one that is more affordable like ours the next time. We shall continue to provide our guests with the best location, cleanliness, and value for their money. Warm compliments for your next endeavours.

Dear Mrs Steward,thank you for sharing your thoughts about your recent stay at the Alhambra Hotel. We are sorry we did not meet your standards as room is standard size for central London. As you can see on the reviews, we provide clean room with good service in convenient location just across the road to Kings Cross. If you have request about higher floor, it is always better to send us a message in advance. We hope you will find more suitable accommodation on your next visit in London.Kind regards,Martin - Reception

Dear Mr Roberto, Thanks for mentioning our location, being 2 min distance from Kings Cross St Pancras. Thanks for the nice words for the staff.Please note that the room size is standard for Central London. If you see that only one fan is not enough you can come to reception and get other one. Reception works 24/7.Kind Regards,
