Would certainly stay there again.
Pros:

The location was ideal for us; straight across from Wandsworth Town railway station. The room was very well appointed and very quiet which was a pleasant surprise considering the closeness to the train station and the pub attached to the hotel. We had a very good meal in the restaurant . Staff were all very professional and helpful.

Very british und immer wieder unsere erste Wahl in London
Pros:

Wir waren schon zum zweiten Mal im Alma und würden es immer wieder für einen Aufenthalt in London wählen. Es ist einfach einzigartig. Das Alma liegt direkt an einer Bahnstation und verfügt über einen wunderbaren Pub, trotzdem sind die Zimmer ganz ruhig und man schläft wunderbar. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und alle Angestellten überaus freundlich.

Cons:

Another excellent stay but this time tinged with a bit of disappointment
Pros:

The room was great, the service from hotel staff excellent, the price too.

Cons:

The pub bit was a huge disappointment. They first tried to fob me off with a pint of best bitter that was cloudier than the cloudiest cloudy IPA, and tasted like s$~r p¥#s (I have had to use my imagination there). They then announced that all cask ales were off. The bar staff were unapologetic.

Trouble is, we chose to stay at The Alma owing to memories of many happy nights (and some days too) drinking there when it was one of the finest Youngs pubs, and over that maybe 20 years I don’t recall ever having a bad pint. I know times have changed, but disappointment that taints such a treasured memory will always sting, hence the mark down.

No complaints whatsoever about the hotel side though.
