This basement room was small with a tiny bathroom.

For bigger people it will be difficult to go to the toilet or douche cabin.

We took a room with a bathroom in it, small

Beware that many rooms do not have a bathroom, and those that do, the bathroom is the size of a small closet.

Small bar of soap and wall-mounted shower gel provided plus a decent hand-towel and bath mat.

I have to say I have never in my 62 years been in a smaller bathroom.

Bed was comfy, only gripe was the shower was bit of a squeeze.

I tripped and stubbed my toes the first few times and I was afraid I'd trip and fall exiting the bathroom if I forgot to step down.

but well equipped  , with a toilet and shower in two further small rooms .

On arrival we found out we had a shared bathroom, this was NOT stated on the booking whatsoever!!

Only downside was the size of the bathroom- it was quite crammed.

It did mean I had to leave the shower room door open to manoeuvre to dry myself.

but the downside was the crazy interior plan - the shower was in one tiny room, the bathroom in another, the mirror someplace else and the sink for brushing your teeth and washing your hands was inside the bedroom.

but did have a small basin in the corner.

Water pressure in bathroom was too low for a decent shower.

Bathroom outside the room so you may need to wait for shower.

I would definitely recommend if you're comfortable with a Queen bed with four feet on all sides.

There were two single beds that were very comfortable.

Stayed for one night as I was attending a seminar at King's Place close to King's Cross.

The Alhambra is a cute hotel located just a half block from Kings Cross train station.

but this is due to the location near to 
King's Cross St. Pancras station.

I prefer to stay around the Kings Cross stroke Bloomsbury area which I have on many occasions as I find it a great base for striking out on the tourist trail, with Kings Cross being handy for the buses and tube.

On the plus side the bed had lots of places where you could tie restraints to it - this made for a fun evening for us.

Gilbert Monument, National Centre for Circus Arts, Statue of the Viscount Alanbrooke, St. Mary's Church, St Mary's Church, St John's Waterloo, Twizy Tours, London Central Mosque, The Punch Bowl, Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial, Beauty Rose, Illuminated River, Crystal Palace Spa, The Yacht Concierge, Mark Street Gardens, Shanghai Touch Massage, Finsbury Circus Gardens, Pret-a-Train, Puttshack Bank, International Brigade Memorial, The Nursery Theatre, Association Gallery, The Queen's Walk, City of London Jewellers, Thai Refresh Massage, London Cookery School, Shay & Blue, Ned's Club Spa, Havanna, Red Gallery, St James Garlickhythe, Overtures, No.

Being a tall lad the single bed was perfect even with my Giraffe proportioned legs.

The hotel is very clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the WiFi very fast.

This is a small hotel located a short walk to the St Pancras train station and King's Cross underground.

Hard to beat location only 2 min walk to St Pancreas International Station and 5 min walk to Kings Cross Station.

It is conveniently located on a quiet alley that is a mere four minute walk to the King's Cross subway station.

This hotel is a stone’s throw from Kings Cross station, down a quiet side street.

Two fluffy towels decoratively arranged on the bed.

Perfectly located for Kings Cross station, directly opposite a tube stop of you want to use it as a hotel to see a few sights along the underground.

Good:
Excellent location near St. Pancras and Kings Cross.

Everything was immaculately clean , the bed was very comfortable, and the bed linen was of very high quality .

This B&B is visibly smarter and classier than the many others on the same street, and literally two mins walk from Kings Cross St Pancras - on the road bang opposite.

Not a problem, there is a well known pub chain in St Pancras station which opens at 9am for all day breakfast.

Prices are reasonable (considering breakfast is included).

Take the 8.54am to Calais and you’ll have time to enjoy the awesome breakfast buffet at this great accommodation.

We had a fine stay here — the place is tidy, the service attentive, the location exquisite, the breakfast fine if not outstanding.

Breakfast from 7 to 9 was far too restrictive for a family holiday - missed it each morning of a three-night pre-booked stay.

Super WiFi connection and a great continental breakfast to end your stay or start your stay.

This hotel is clean convenient and the breakfast is good with great price to stay.i strongly recommend people to stay here .The reception is very friendly and later I learn is a family own business.

There's a decent breakfast included in the room rate, and the staff was unfailingly polite and nice.

Every employee was very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was delicious, and the room was clean and tidy.

Great breakfast and staff friendly and helpful.

Breakfast is good with bacon, eggs, pancakes, cereals, yoghurt etc.

at a similar price, including breakfast - the Alhambra.

Breakfast was also a squeeze, and only available from 7-9am.

The breakfast was the biggest surprise, with a really wide range of goodies on offer, including freshly made pancakes and porridge.

Friendly staff
Continental breakfast included.

The included breakfast was very good , and gluten intolerant guests are catered for .

An email awaited me later asking for description and photos of the charger, followed before I had a chance to answer with another to say it had been found and please to let them have a card number to cover the return postage (which I called in the following morning).

He needed to charge his phone and without that adapter he would have been greatly inconvenienced.

You can use your pre-loaded Oyster Card, the same as you would for the Tube, and it’s only £ 8.10 (single fare) to Gatwick.

but had to be put through as 3 separate transactions which was quite annoying.

The well known international booking agency I used (and use about twice each week without this problem - ever) will only provide a confirmation of the total paid and not show a VAT compliant invoice.

When you book they take 1 pound without notice and 1 week before the date they took all the amount saying they have preauthorization on your card and waiting for the bank approval, it wasn't nice since we can cancel 4 days without notice or penalty.

Book this room and put the extra money on your oyster card.

Please note that the hotel applies a 3% surcharge if you pay by credit card.

They charge an extra 3% if you use a credit card.

though charged 3% extra to pay by credit (rather than debit) card.

They receptionist charged my a much higher amount than it said on booking, caused by currency exchange.

Charged twice for my stay due to error - hopefully get this sorted asap.

Two problems - after arriving we were told that the agreed fare was for cash and if paid by credit it was more expensive.

We were given a laminated card with our room number on and told to put our luggage in the breakfast room in a bit at the bottom of the stairs with the card on top.

even though the check in time was in the afternoon without additional charges.

but elected to pay cash to avoid the 3% surcharge.

The hotel wanted to be paid in cash or there would be a surcharge for a credit card, this we had not come across since south america.

19th cent gentrified houses turned into hotels down the street with quaint narrow corridors.

Further, I could not reach the wardrobe hangers, they have been placed too high. Access to the rooms is extremely difficult - steep narrow stairs and impossibly narrow corridors and (fire?)

We were on the top floor, which was hard to access along tiny corridors and the room had a 3/4 bed, and there was hardly enough room to move in the room.

Be prepared--the hotel common areas, hallways, and rooms are very, very small.

The rooms are very, very small and it is difficult to manoeuvre luggage in narrow corridors and staircases.

The corridors are a little tight for space if you are carrying luggage and note that there is no elevator,

An unusual room with a door into a small hallway, a separate toilet, a separate shower and another door through to three single beds where the basin is also situated.

The hotel corridors are narrow and a lot of steps so not very good if your mobility is limited.

True, the corridors are narrow, the rooms are small and there is no lift.

The rooms are very small and, as other guest have pointed out, stairs and corridors are narrow.

Unfortunately not a good place for family with small children,  narrow corridors  and stair cases.

There was a slight hint of damp in the corridor,

Somewhat typical for London in this price range: .three floors up, no lift..shared bathroom down the hall, tiny bed for two.

The toilet was down the hall and the door right in front of your face when you closed it.

the rooms were tiny and so were the corridors leading to the room,

The corridors are a little tight for space and there is no elevator, so if mobility is an issue then please bear this in mind,

Corridors and the staircase is very narrow.

You can hear your neighbors talking in their rooms, doors opening and closing, being locked and unopened and people walking in the halls.

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.

Can’t say enough about the staff, especially since I messed up big time.

But it was clean, there was a small desk and an OK sized bathroom, so basically you don't need more.

It is well decorated, spotlessly clean and all staff were friendly and helpful.

The staff were all really friendly and chatty, asking my kids if they enjoyed Paris etc.

Friendly staff, easy and fast check-in/out.

Clean, in fact,  spotless so, quiet, friendly staff, no complaints at all.

We were surprised to be directed to a different building across the street from reception.

The 24 h reception very kind and the location perfect!

Thank you to both members of staff, sorry I didn't get your names, for treating us so well, Katrina

Bruno and his staff are really very welcoming.

All of the staff are super friendly, helpful, and wonderful.

All of the staff we met were very friendly and helpful.

Well priced, Very helpful and great service.

Perfect in every way,,,,,a short work from Euston station,,,close to the underground, great bedroom and amazing polite staff.

I had no problem getting to the Tower of London and Leicester Square for dinner, and I also had no problem walking to the British Museum.

Napped for a bit and went out that night anyway- there is a travel place at the end of the street in the Camden Town Hall I think and the guy who works there presold us tickets for things like the London eye and Tower of London, Tower Bridge experience so we could bypass the line ups.

breakfast

We found the staff friendly and accommodating, the room clean and adequately stocked, the breakfast delicious and the late night bar and entertainment enjoyable.

Friendly staff, tasty breakfast, central location near to train station and Greenwich Park.

Super Friendly Staff, nice location and free parking and breakfast in London is a big plus, its and old hotel and some rooms are harder to get cases to,

We recently had our wedding reception at the Clarendon, we were very pleased staff were very professional and polite, breakfast was lovely.

The breakfast was good, the staff efficient and friendly.

Absolutely loved our stay at this hotel, breakfast was marvellous with friendly staff always going the extra mile to ensure you are catered for, we had our 2 dogs with us and it was so good to walk out the front door on to the heath

Breakfast was good and staff excellent, reception staff ambivalent.

The service was nice as was the breakfast.

Сlean room, friendly staff, quiet, good breakfast and excellent location.

The staff were very helpful at breakfast time.

Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and the room, plus the rest of the hotel, clean and tidy.

The breakfasts are really good and well prepared.

although, with windows open and facing the road, very noisy), the restaurant is good, the breakfast was generous and the outdoor courtyard very pleasant.

but the loved the garden, location and the fabulous staff.

Location is great as you can get to many travel routes, the view is great also.

It is in a great location and has the beautiful Blackheath on its doorstep.

Also was unbearably hot and due to the corner location impossible to cool down.

We came to the area to visit family and the location is ideal .

It has a great location and the staff are so friendly and helpful.

Great location in a quaint village just outside London

Good location opposite the Heath and close to the train station.

The suite was lovely and situated it a great location by the gardens.

The Clarendon is beautifully located beside the heath, serving splendid full breakfast and offering cozy rooms.

The location was perfect as it wasn’t too close or too far from the main attractions.

but was just told not all rooms have been renovated!

The hotel needs updating, it is looking tired and stuck in the 1970’s.

.if the hotel has a fault,it's with the parking conditions,residents should have priority over visitors.! !

but the hotel looks like coming from the past and has not been updated in a long time.

There was no fan in my room in very hot conditions.

The decor seemed quite outdated and gave off a "Haunted house"vibe .

The hotel images are presenting the rooms in a very flattering light – the actual rooms and hotel overall have all aged quite a bit and are in need of a refurbishment.

Room IMO was quite outdated, desk lamp bulb didn't work and no hairdryer.

but generally hotel very tired in places, pillows are rock hard foam, bathroom very outdated and patched up tiling.

Arrived at the hotel and instantly noticed the inside decour was in desperate need of updating.

but hotel just needs a good overhaul in my opinion.

but the hotel does need updating as the rooms are very dated and smell of damp/musty.

Hotel needs updating I’n all areas, extremely tired.

We wouldn't stay here again for the price (170 pounds through booking.com), this could be a really great hotel with a little refurbishment and updating.

Room quite noisy and communal corridors in need of a refurbishment.

Am tired of being an afterthought because my diet is deemed to be 'my choice' - take a long hard look at the production of meat and the conditions your food is raised in and you would not want to eat it either.

Charming hotel, with clean and comfortable room.

Excellent services: friendly, and thoughtful; rooms and facilities are very good with an excellent food offer available at the bar, main restaurant or garden.

Nice area and Very convenient and central for us as we wanted to visit the Greenwich maritime museum and observatory staff all pleasant and polite room clean.

Room was clean and comfortable, reception staff were polite and friendly.

I stayed at the Clarendon as I couldn’t get into my usual hotel when commuting my son to/from uni. I booked a Crowne room which was immaculate (praise to the unsung hospitality heroes in housekeeping!!)

We paid £170 to stay in one of their deluxe rooms.

The hotel room is big with an en suit and the hotel is quiet.

although promoted as dog friendly when I first called I was told I could not have dogs in Crowne rooms.

The fans that were fitted in the rooms were ok

Would like to have bathrobes in the room and an assortment of hygiene products

beautiful traditional hotel with a stunning dining room and lovely garden too.

I booked in for one night and my room was very comfortable with the en-suite bathroom.

I had a lovely view of the heath from my room and a fan to keep the room cool.

The room and catering were up to expectations.

The addition of ceiling fans and an in room mini fridge would make a big improvement.

Bathroom so small that the door wouldn’t even open fully as it collided with the toilet.

The bathroom basins are too small for someone that wet shaves.

but we had an old metal window that you couldn’t even shut, some very dubious stains in the carpet and wall and the bathroom was very small and dingy.

The bathroom was small and a strange shape, with the door always somehow hitting your knees.

The bathroom was small for the size of  the room and it was all slightly dated.

That said, the bathroom is tiny which isnt a problem

we recommend to change the sink which is very small.

Couple things let it down and small things like toiletries etc missing.

Bathroom was so small you could hardly move.

but bathroom was too small for room capacity, you could not open the door of the bathroom fully when the toilet seat was down.

The bathroom was small and the bath was deep

The bath was small which for me was a bonus as I am only 4'9" and was able to sit in the bath comfortably with my feet reaching the bottom!

The bathroom was very small, the door just missed hitting the toilet  when shutting,the tiles need  re -grouting  everything about the room from the dark green walls to the purple curtains was just not nice.

The bathroom only had a shower and was quite small,

Bathroom is tiny and needs upgrade (lock broken on door/ low pressure in shower)

Negatives.Stayed for 2 nights small twin room with tiny bathroom.

The staff are brilliant, very friendly and helpful.

The main asset here is the Staff, they are friendly and very helpful.

Staff professional and pleasant, everyone interested in giving guests good experience.

Friendly staff, nice hotel, beautiful garden, quiet neighbourhood.

Walking distances to church and reception.

We did report the misrepresentation at reception

Could not fault the hotel staff, for their excellent work ethic, especially the dining staff,our thanks to " Julie" and all her team.

Concerns were raised with hotel reception

Staff were very nice, helpful and welcoming, we would stay here again.

Stroll cross Blackheath and there is Greenwich Park, the Royal Observatory and historic Greenwich, where a boat ride takes you up river to the Tower of London, the London Eye or Westminster Palace.

Once you got out the shower you had just enough room to stand on the mat, as the sink, toilet and opposite wall were inches away from you.

The rooms was baking when we got in there and all they had was a fan on the wall to compensate the extreme heat.

When we were checking out I told the morning receptionists that a bracket on the wall in the bathroom was loose and all it needed was the screw tightening up   the response was low I thought why bother.

However the worse thing was the scratches heard in the walls god only wonders what that was.

The mattress was too soft for us and there is no air conditioning ( a fan on the wall )

although it had a wall fan it was fixed so that it never reached the bed.

We turned them off at the wall then went out and left window open to cool room.

The taps stick out across the basin making it difficult to bend down to throw water over your face and as a consequence you need to get in a contortionate position (if the proxiimity of the bath or wall allows).

You could hear the pipes in the wall making sounds all night.

There was a bath mat in a stained bag hanging on a wall.

but it was a hot night so not enough air, put on the old fashioned wire fan on the wall but it kept us awake with its clanking.
