Best Hotels near King＇s Cross Railway Station, London

I turned up ready to put my legs up and rest before my early morning train. I was not looking for anything special but there is basic and then there is this! I was originally put in LG5 and told to go up the stairs, along the corridor and down the stairs. I followed the instructions but, not only could I not find the room, neither could a member of staff. Another one told me to go back along the corridor, up some stairs and down some stairs. I got to the staircase at the end of the corridor and it was blocked by piles of laundry and laundry bags! I went back to the reception desk and explained that neither myself nor staff could find the room. He agreed to give me a different one (a nicer one he said!) and said to go up the stairs and the room was on the right. He didn’t, however, give me a room number. I then started trying to get into the room on the right, then the next room on the right, then the next room on the right before I came up and went back to reception once again! He told me my room number and off I went again. I opened the room door to find a bed with no pillows or duvet and no bigger than a cupboard. I shut the door and headed back to the reception. I explained that I was not staying in that room and before I could explain why, he asked, “is it not clean?!” I explained that not only was it not clean, there were no facilities. He then snapped, “so, you just want to cancel this booking? Fine!” The carpets in the corridors were filthy, the staff couldn’t care less if they tried and the room was beyond basic. I left and booked the premier inn. Much better!

we love staying here .. we had a new room , staff fab, amenities great .. no fault of hotel but was so noisy all night .. even 8 floors up .. cars revving .. people shouting outside .. led to a sleepless night … but hey ho one of those things .. paid for breakfast as did not book it .. fab choice and could eat as much you liked .. no complaints … downside .. towels were very small … and our toilet seat was broken .. but nothing major and we did not bother complaining about …

Though the rooms were small and pretty basic it was exactly what we expected for the fantastic price paid. It couldn’t have been in a better location with an underground station right outside. The rooms were clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. You have to leave the keys with the staff when you leave and buzz to get let back into the hotel which I thought was handy as there was no chance of losing the keys this way! Staff were very quick to let us back in, even late at night so I had no complaints regards this.. and there is a McDonalds outside the hotel which is always a plus! I would definitely recommend this hotel if your looking for somewhere to base yourself on a busy trip in London.

Good location near Russell Square station, walking distance to Tottenham Court Road, Euston (15min). Room is basic and comfortable. Doors slam very loudly and cause disturbance at night. There was a function one night that lasted till almost midnight and the noise/music reverberations travelled a couple of floors up.

The reception and lobby operate like a train station,lots of people arriving and leaving arround the clock.the lobby is small and crowded, so you can not simply sitting and enjoying the bar. Breakfast buffee is somewhat less crowded and there's fine verity of food. We got a suite on the 4th floor,a fine large room, with lots of furniture,but the storage places for clothes almost non existing. It is as if the closet,open one , is only planed for buissnessmen,who hang their suits! Not enough light above the mirror for a woman, to put some makeup. Bathroom good size but the door is not closing easily. The taxi/bolt sevice is awful.we had to wait for a cab 15 to 20 minutes, mayby the location is problematic, and walking to the nearest tube swiss cotage, took ne 12 minutes. The staff was very nice and helpfull!

My husband and I stayed at the Alhambra Hotel for two weeks - our sixth stay since 2008. The Alhambra earns our five-star rating by ticking all the boxes: perfect location near St. Pancras/King's Cross rail stations; comfortable, clean, and well-maintained; friendly and helpful staff; convenient amenities including taxis arranged to and from the airports and discount tour tickets; and reasonable rates. We really enjoy being able to count on the Alhambra as our ”home away from home” as we hop on the Tube or bus to explore London, or take the train for day trips such as Blenheim Palace. We’ll be back!

Stayed in a basement room that was plenty big enough for two of us . The bed was really comfortable and both of us slept great . Could hear a small rumble of the tube but was much quieter than listening to the street from the upper rooms . Staff always smiling pleasant and very happy to help with even the smallest of details. Would definitely recommend and will be staying again.

Such a Great Location & the Staff is Amazing! It’s located right next to Kings Cross & Coal Drop Yards which is convenient. Check in is simple & they even let you leave your luggage for free if you get their early & after your check out. The staff is so kind, to the front desk, Maintenance, Cleaning Crew & Management. I love how the beds you can change the color of the Lighting. There are plugs for your phone & a locker to store your stuff. Also a bar to hang socks or a Towel. They have a huge lounge area where you can chill or work & a kitchen. Pretty big kitchen, great way to save $ while traveling! Bathrooms are always clean & always hot water. They have events throughout the week which is great for connecting with new people. You can tell the staff is like family here & genuine souls! Definitely suggest checking out this Hostel when traveling to London! My next trip into London, I’ll definitely be staying here. 💚

Went as a solo traveller, as had some business meetings. Room was on the small side but cean and functional, perfectly fine for a single use. Staff is friendly and professional, 24 hours reception is a bonus. Wifi was working well, which was very much important for me. Location is one of the best in London. I would highly recommend.
