A nice junior suite

Was down to see friends for a couple of nights and I stayed in a junior suite. Lovely room. I’d brought my electric toothbrush and they don’t have the charging ports in the bathroom so I went to buy a manual toothbrush too, they should probably mention they don’t have electric charging sockets in the bathrooms to avoid this - or provide manual toothbrushes. Service was very good, Jess on reception was lovely, but I had asked for an iron to be sent up because they charge for steaming your clothes, a first I have ever heard of in any 5 star hotel (generally I stayed at Chiltern Firehouse and recently Ham Yard, Raffles at OWO, Nobu etc and no one has ever charged for this, which I found a bit of a shock and they charge 50% more if you want it on the same day- dry cleaning I understand, but steaming I expect to be a complimentary service). The first two irons didn’t work and another person bought one up that finally worked. Roof bar spot on Cleanliness - when I looked at my shower, I found that my shower hadn’t previously been rinsed of someone’s else’s hair who had used the room before me, which isn’t the end of the world, but also not what I expect from a 5 star hotel. I wasn’t asked about my stay when checking out, only what I had from the minibar. No one asked me about the 5% optional service charge they email you about either, she just input an amount that was taken off card automatically, so unsure if I paid that and thought that was quite sly if they had added it in.

Staff are rude. Especially at the restaurant. It is a rooftop restaurant that caters to locals. Staff are more interested in drinking with their friends than working or acting in a service capacity. Hotel is close to king’s cross which is convenient. But dine elsewhere.

Excellent. Rooms very good. Unusual not to have hand basin near toilet but didn’t detract from stay. Toilet seat in room 220 needs a bit of minor adjustment.

The Standard is a very nice hotel with very attentive staff in a nice convenient part of London, essentially across the street from St Pancras Station! The hotel and the rooms themselves have a very modern/retro vibe. Nice lobby area with very comfortable seating and a fireplace!
