We made one request prior to check-in, as we had never stayed at a Pub before. As it was the World Cup, with team England in it, I had some concern that it might be noisy all night. Nothing could have been further from the truth. They were in the pub until all hours, but our room might have been in an isolated convent it was so quiet. One passed through a series of nearly air-tight doors along a corridor, and it became quiter and quiter. So it was the best of both worlds: have a great time in the pub watching footie and drinking beer, then retire to better than library quiet for blissful sleep on comfy beds.
Also the train line is right across the street, so it is very convenient. Now, as we are from the US, using the train system was a bit novel at first, but it works well. When you get here, buy an Oyster card. We got ours at an off-license, and you can re-load it at the automatic terminals at the station across from the pub.

The location is good, but that's about all I can praise here. First, this is not a place you want to stay if you travel with significant luggage (given the labyrinthine and narrow hallways) - but that was not the issue for me. Rather, the room environment was not comfortable as the room thermostat had no effect despite being on and claiming to register my setting changes. (And who has decided that a single heavy bed cover is good, rather than multiple layers of bedsheets?) But the main issue was that the noise was awful. It was not the people in the pub below that were the problem, but rather the constant slamming of doors somewhere below on the ground floor - slamming which went on till after 1am. Hotel staff also rather uninterested that you are there. I can not recommend this place, especially at the price charged.

Fabulous hotel.

The Alma is a gem.Tucked away in a \"foody\" street, but opposite Wandsworth Town rail station, this is a blend of buzzing gastropub and genuine charm high-end hotel. Impeccably managed by a dog-loving manager and a great team, we found the Alma to be one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Our room was super-comfortable and had everything we could possibly need, from a Nespresso machine (with fresh milk in the fridge) to a large bath and excellent rain shower. Most importantly, the bed was super-comfortable. The Alma is part of a hotel group, and these people clearly know their stuff. Will we stay there again? You bet!

Loved this quiet little stay a bit further from city center. On our last day we figured out the trains and let me suggest to utilize those on your trip! I’d never navigated public trains before and it was super simple. There’s a few restaurants and a little mart on this street. The hotel is situated inside the only bar/restaurant on the street, which was very convenient but not distributive at all.

Very hot in our room, despite having an air con unit. We’re told in the morning that this was all controlled centrally rather than in room. However you wouldn’t naturally assume this if you have a control in your room and there was nothing in the room indicating it was controlled from reception!
As we arrived at c11pm, we thought it was too late to change rooms and so had a v uncomfortable night’s sleep.

The Alma Hotel is situated on a quaint cobble-stone Street, giving it the London-feel without too much city noice and traffic. The location is perfect for traveling via underground or train, because the hotel is just a few steps away from the nearest tube station. Our room was gorgeous and the bed was super comfortable. The pillows were my only complaint. I think the location, access to amenities (like the pub downstairs), and the room aesthetics make this hotel worth every penny.

An uforgetable experience!

If you want an experience of a lifetime, you have to book a room at the fabulous Alma hotel. The rooms were spacious and immaculate. King bed was over the top comfortable, staff was attentive and as helpful as I've ever had. Attached was a fabulous dinner where we enjoyed a hot free breakfast every morning. Also attached was a 'proper English pub' that served great 'pub grub' and the coldest beer in town. Best for last, we were personally looked after by the general manager, Sean Murphy and one of his assistants Silvio. We will return for all the above reasons to include easy access to bus and train.

Good rooms

We have stayed here before on both occasions to visit Wimbledon. It's about a 45 minute walk from The Alma. We were slightly disappointed this time as our room, whilst very nice, wasn't as good as the first time we stayed and they were both boutique rooms. Also the air con didn't seem to work after the first night and it was hot in London.
We needed to be up and out very early to join the Wimbledon queue and asked if we could have a breakfast box the night before. The person on reception didn't quite grasp this, despite us explaining twice. However, she had organised that fruit, cereals and toast were available early. The trouble is we didn't have time to stop for it.
The rooms are clean and a reasonable size. We stayed in room 16 this time, which could do with a little refurbishment. There has obviously been a leak in the room above and there is a damp patch above the mirror in the bathroom. It was dripping whilst we were there. Also the surface inside the wardrobe was damaged.
We like the fact that you can have fresh milk for tea and coffee and that there is a small fridge in the room.
There's also a good Sainsburys local just down the road.
Just across the road from the station so easy to get around

Modest but pleasant home base for a London visit

Both the good points and weaknesses were nearly identical to our stay there 5 years ago. Friendly and helpful staff; comfortable bed; quiet room despite the bar downstairs; excellent breakfast; literally steps from a train station (Wandsworth Town) and bus stop with great connections; about a mile walk to a shopping center with a nice variety of offerings; reasonable price. On the other hand: No computer available for guest use; no maps posted or available of the local area; translucent bathroom doors; the only hotel I've encountered anywhere that didn't have face cloths/wash cloths/flannels available - all easily fixable. Seniors and people with disabilities also need to be aware that there are no elevators in the hotel or the train station across the street.

Could do a lot better....

The bed was comfy and well stocked mini bar if you want to use it. Pity hotels still haven't found a way to keep the fridge cold without having to use your \"key\".

But, overall it was really disappointing - this used to be an excellent boutique hotel that was great value for money. The bathroom stank of sewers and there was no hot water so couldn't have a shower or bath. Plus I had requested a bathroom WITH a bath (not just a shower) which was ignored. To be fair the manager did apologise profusely and as I have stayed here often, as a gesture of good will gave me the night for free.

Great hotel and pub, shame about the food

Fabulous hotel room - stylish, spacious, spotless, quiet, huge bathroom with bath and walk-in shower. The pub and dining area had a great buzz about them. However. Only one choice of meal for a vegetarian - as we were staying for two nights this meant no choice whatsoever for my colleague. The quality of the one meal he did have was very poor and the chicken that I ordered was over-cooked. I suspect it had been pre-cooked then heated up. Service was also very patchy. Such a shame as this could be a great place.

Funky historic English pub/restaurant/hotel

Visiting relatives in the area and was the only boutique hotel in Wandsworth, South London. Funky collection of new and antiquey furniture. Staff was very accommodating. Bed was OK but pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable. View into small unfurnished courtyard represented only window in the room. Noisy children in the hallway, but no noise from the pub. Included breakfast was good though few choices. Dinner was plated beautifully but food was not good and would not recommend eating dinner there. Very far from central London.
