The Standard London

Bájese en la estación London St Pancras, el viaje dura 5 minutos, muy conveniente. Me alojé en una habitación barata sin ventanas, pero la cama era un poco blanda y el baño estaba abierto. Estaba bien quedarme una noche. Fue escrito como un hotel de 5 estrellas, tal vez porque me quedé en una habitación sin ventanas, es difícil para mí decir si puede cumplir con los estándares de un hotel de 5 estrellas. El personal de recepción también fue muy amable. La ventaja es que hay Burger King enfrente del hotel. Si tienes hambre por la noche, puedes comprar snacks nocturnos. Además, por la mañana puedes ir al café de la oveja negra a tomar un café. No hay cepillo de dientes en la habitación ni agua embotellada gratuita.

Not your standard hotel. No. It your below average standards hotel. No slippers. No complimentary water in rooms, even upon arrival. Cheap quality toiletries made in China. No turn down service which means it takes so much effort to remove the huge ‘Harris Tweed’ bed cover. Worst hotel toilet I’ve ever used. And to make things worse the rooms are so noisy at night being across the train station the hotel actually provides ear plugs which still do not block out the sound and are of cheap quality. Perhaps better window soundproofing is needed. You can’t use the hairdryer in the bathroom because there is zero electrical outlets which means you can’t blow dry your hair without disturbing whoever else is in the room. Front desk reception was really annoying as well because he tried to upsell me to a higher level room even though we already booked The King of Kings Room. Why? Location is also average even though it is easy access to the airport. But to other London locations it’s a long long Underground ride. On the plus side, the lighting and air conditioning system is very nice, dimmable and very ambient. The bathtub is deep and comfortable. The building is very aesthetic from the outside. The room is designed well. Overall this is not a very convenient or luxurious experience as far as hotel stays go and would not recommend anyone who wants to have a five star hotel level experience to stay at The below Standard.

Awesome stay, hotel is well guarded from weirdos and the hotel location is right across the st Pancras and King cross train stations
