Nuestro rincón en el Sur de Londres, ¡volveremos!
Pros:

Habitaciones amplias, con todo detalle, mini se súper completo, tés, café en la habitación y todo tipo de frutos secos y patatas fritas. En las habitaciones no se oía un ruido, ideales para descansar. Lo mejor si duda el pub, la comida excelente tanto el desayuno como para comer o cenar. La amabilidad de todo el personal es sin duda el mayor punto a favor. Ubicado justo frente a la estación de tren y una zona fantástica para pasear a pocos minutos del Támesis. Volveremos!

Charming Hotel
Pros:

Genuinely lovely staff in reception and especially the restaurant, where the staff were very attentive and had a chat with you. The food was good and there was enough drinks choice to float anyones boat.
As you first walk into the room, the air conditioning was pre-set (absolutely needed during the heatwave!), the radio was playing and there was a lovely hand written note to welcome us. These were really lovely touches that genuinely added to our experience!
The hotel and room had a brilliant amount of character and it makes a change from the boring corporate hotels I often stay at.
Also, it's literally 2 seconds from Wandsworth Town station, so getting into central was refreshingly easy.

Cons:

The bathroom could do with a little TLC/polish.

Excellent hotel in an excellent location.
Pros:

The hotel really exceeded our expectations. We were expecting a slightly grotty pub, and instead, we were in a well-appointed hotel with:
1. A large room and a large bed
2. Good air conditioning
3. A good bathroom
4. Very pleasant and helpful staff
5. Easy overnight parking.

We will definitely return. It is strongly recommended.

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:

nichts
