Good and cheap. That makes great value. The rooms are comfortable and nicely furnished. The whole place has a boutique feel, and has great, personal service that one can expect from these small hotels. The location is convenient, with a rail station and bus stop nearby. Although in the King's Cross area, it is off the main night life strip.... more

We loved the Altamont! The staff was wildly helpful when we had to make last-minute changes. The rooms are very hip--do book the Tower Room if you can. more

Reception is open from 8am to 8-9 pm. Outside these hours, you can only enter the hotel when having a room key. Take this into account... more

We were booked somewhere else in the cross, which was awful. After the first night we walked into the Altamont to see if they could fit us in for the next two nights of our stay.
