Very convenient hotel near St Pancras. Booked a room on the top floor with shower and toilet down the hall. Reminded us of our college dorm. They had a really nice guy help us with our luggage. All in all given the decent hotel price, convenient location near St Pancras - not having to use taxi’s - clean property, great staff, we would do it again for a short stay.

I forgot to check if they have a lift, good thing the lady in reception who received us (24th March) assigned us on ground floor (Room 4). She offered us the room right away as we were with an 18-month-old and we arrived earlier than check-in. It can't be helped but whenever the front door opens during the night, it vibrates through our room. Anyway, the room served its purpose and the receptionists are all very helpful.

I booked a room for two travelers for two nights. The first issue we had was the size of the room. It was so small that if one of us wanted to get by one another there was only one part of the room that it was big enough. They put us in a basement room with a window that led to a public courtyard type space so we had to keep the blinds down 24/7 for privacy. Every 20-30 mins when the tube would run the whole room would shake from 7am till about midnight. You can also hear everyone else moving around in the hotel. No climate control and the room got very hot at night. No additional lock on the inside of the door.

Alhambra is a cozy and clean property across the street from King's Cross / St. Pancras International rail and Underground stations. I especially appreciated the 1pm check-in as I arrived on a morning flight and did not want to drag my suitcase all over London until midafternoon. Highly recommend to anyone needing a place in London as well as convenient access by rail to points in the northeast.
