Absolutely fantastic stay. The room was really spacious and so comfortable. The bed was huge and so so comfy! Service was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. It was my partner’s birthday and we received 2 free cocktails whilst waiting for our room. We were able to check in early which was amazing. The personalised text service to arrange a cake for my partner in the room was so helpful too. We will definitely stay again and recommend, it was perfect! We tried to recreate the sofa photo but didn’t do very well!

Great atmosphere and food, filthy rooms
The hotel staff was very nice and the food was exceptional at Decimo. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room left MUCH to be desired with debris splattered in the wall, someone’s hair left in the shower, someone’s eyelashes left in the filthy tub, a filthy and stained bathroom floor, debris all around the carpeted floor, and a countertop that I wiped down myself to find it left behind a grimy tissue. Not to mention the tattered sheet/duvet cover and the obvious old blood I found on my pillow. I would recommend checking out the restaurant and the bar on the 10th floor if you have a chance but I would stay elsewhere if you would like to be comfortable when you return to your room.

Very convenient for St Pancras
We were staying in London before getting the Eurostar to France and The Standard is about as convenient as you can get without paying the exorbitant prices at the St Pancras Hotel. Having said that, it wasn't cheap, but that is London these days. There was a problem with our credit card - their machine kept getting an error - and the woman at the desk blamed it on our card, saying it was because it was a cash-back card, which has nothing to do with it working! I'm sure it was an issue with either their machine or our bank, but the error code was useless. We ended up having to use a debit card which wasn't ideal. It would perhaps have been better to have us try again later in the day. They had the card number from the reservation and it worked then anyway. Aside from that, the room was clean and comfortable and the air conditioning worked well and wasn't noisy as is sometimes the case. We had a drink on the roof terrace which was OK, but there were no places to sit and the drinks were pre-mixed which is a bit disappointing at the price. Dinner in Isla was very nice and the service was very good. We had wanted to eat at Decimo but it was being renovated which it didn't say anywhere on the website, so that was a bit disappointing as well. All in all, it was useful for our needs, but definitely isn't cheap.
