The Standard London

The Standard London

Kings Cross-Islington London|0.51km from Foundling Museum
Just finished a four night stay at the Standard Hotel in London. This is my first trip back to London post Covid and wanted to find the latest and greatest and the Standard has raised the bar in the hotel and hot spot scene. I put the concierge team to the test as I always do and Istvan and his team did not disappoint. I sent a very detailed request of things I wanted to and places I wanted to go before I arrived. Upon arrival I was happy to accept a room upgrade from George at the front desk and he was quite helpful showing me around and we struck up a conversation about football. Upon entering my room I saw it had a massive terrace with beautiful teak furniture over looking the city center. The room was stylish and chic and cutting edge and even a bit “quirky” as the brand is known for. The restaurant on the first floor Isla, is as cool as you can imagine. The lobby flows into the restaurant with outdoor seating that is heated with a gas fireplace which is a nice touch. The service and food were spot on and the lobby feels like a home as it is filled with books, dj booth and the cool London locals as well as the jet set crowd. I went to see Istvan at the concierge desk who was put to the task of getting tickets for a few soccer/football matches for me. I was floored by the front row tickets he gave me. He sorted out trains, boats, cable cars and restaurants. I can’t imagine better service could be had. Saving the best for last, Decimo on the 10th floor is the place to be and people watch. The mix of music and food was the cool vibe that everyone tries to imitate but never does. The hotel is directly across the street from St. Pancras station and Kings Cross. International, or national rail lines as well as the tube/subway. There is not a better location in London as it literally is the heart beat of the city. Nice to see a hotel living up to the hype. Actually, they surpass it.
St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London

St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London

Kings Cross-Islington London|0.58km from Foundling Museum
I find spa days odd if this is normal. Maybe this is a me thing. £70 to sip camomile tea in a not very warm room with the lights down (I could have murdered a coffee but they didn’t “do” coffee in the spa. Coming from a luxury hospitality background and it being a high-end hotel, I would have thought someone might have offered me one); the jacuzzi again was not all warm and nice so my muscles still wouldn’t relax and then there is a steam room with eucalyptus. The sauna is separated m/f so i didn’t bother because I went with a male friend and the point was to chat… we ended up having more tea. There is no swimming pool but there is a gym. Fair enough if you want that. My starters had no flavour at all. The main was nice and right for the moment and my Irish coffee was delicious. The building wowed me and everything is in very good condition. Staff are down to earth, smart and friendly. The set menu was worth doing. I don’t know how this competes with other hotels but had the spa been warmer I would certainly have been happier. I feel £70 for that part of the day is money for old rope. When I think about it we spent about £20 an hour to be in a nice building and have a £30 two course meal. I think that’s quite a lot. The spa could do with some personality, warmth, music… having tables cleared more often (it wasn’t busy)… something other than going room to room in a towling robe.
Small Luxury Hotels of the World - the Academy

Small Luxury Hotels of the World - the Academy

Bloomsbury London|0.81km from Foundling Museum
The photos and website information about The Academy are incredibly deceptive about this boutique hotel. Sounded and looked lovely online and with a middling price of £188.00 per night B&B sounded a good choice for a solo mini trip to London. The reality was incredibly different. The hotel is scruffy and shabby and the loos smell of fish. Sadly, the service was non-existent and not at the level I would expect of a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. I had a single room (which I chose as it was just me) on the ground floor overlooking the courtyard. It as very basic, but adequate and unlike the other reviews, it was quiet (except from the noisy air-con system). The en-suite was tiny, but the shower was reasonably powerful. As many have already mentioned, the room was stiflingly hot, with a small and inadequate air-con unit which struggled with the heat. I can only imagine what it would have been like when we had the 40C heatwave. I struggled to use the remote control device to work the air con and so, at 12.30am in my dressing gown, I went in search of someone to help me. Daniel came into my room and helped me to get the aircon working and it tried its best to cool the room down. By the next day, and with it on 24/7 the room did finally cool down. As someone else has also mentioned the lights from the aircon system lit up the whole room like a disco! The lights outside the room in the corridor also didn't turn off at night and so the room was bathed in a bright white light from outside and red, green and yellow lights from various fuse things in the room. So, once the air-con was working as best as it could, my attention then turned to the lights! I propped open the en-suite door to block out the light from the corridor, and then managed to pin and stuff towels and a spare pillow case over the disco lights to dim the bright glare. As you can imagine, the first night was a bit of a nightmare with not much sleep. Breakfast the next day was good and the staff in The Refectory were the first to greet me with a welcoming smile and were so helpful and attentive. The breakfast (and staff in the Refectory) have saved this review from being the lowest rating of Terrible. I am incredibly disappointed with my two night stay at The Academy and regret staying there. To finish on a positive note, the location was great and easy to walk to all the places that I wanted to walk to. So great location for Soho, Piccadilly, Covent Garden etc, but poor service and a tired and tatty hotel. So, Bloomsbury is super, just choose an alternative hotel.

Goodenough College – University Residence
4.1/5113 Reviews
It's a dorm, so you can wash it cheaply. It was nice to feel like a London student. It was the only European accommodation with a refrigerator. There was no air conditioning again. I don't clean it every day, I don't change my towel. No individual bathroom, no toilet There was no inconvenience because there was a female shower room. It was a holiday, so it was not crowded, and I always took a shower alone. There was a washbasin and mirror in the room, so it was good to wipe or wash your teeth. There is no air conditioner, but anyway, I come out early and go late. It wasn't very hot, but I had a few days of heat. I think it's heating. I think it would be better to come in spring and autumn winter instead of summer. The location is close to the station Russell? It's very close to the square, so the bus goes well.

Holiday Inn London Bloomsbury, an IHG Hotel

Bloomsbury
Great location and helpful staff. Breakfast was great. However the bathroom bin had not been emptied when I checked in and the design of the bathroom tap was so confusing (too difficult to use without splashing water everywhere).
The Goodenough Hotel London
4/549 Reviews
The conditions are particularly bad, except that the location is nothing, it is recommended to rent a foreign Hilton hotel, the quality can be guaranteed. The hotel room was small and collapsed, and the house was sunken in the ground floor. Although both sides were floor-to-ceiling windows, the privacy was not guaranteed, and the curtains entering the house did not dare to stay. The sanitation of the hotel was very poor. The updated bath towel was taken out from the open bag on the floor below and placed in the room. One day, a spider was shaken and climbed out. Book a well-known hotel chain, don't order this, this is a private house renovation hotel, you can't see this hotel on the road, there is no lobby, go in and go to a dwelling. I feel that Ctrip is too unprofessional. Can this kind of residential accommodation be called a hotel? The new bath towels are used for the guests, not those who are dirty, feel it, it won't be raining.
City Inn Russell Square
3.4/550 Reviews
Kings Cross-Islington
The hotel is very close to Russell Square, there are many restaurants around, and the transportation is convenient. The hotel does not have air conditioning, and it is necessary to open the window to sleep when it is hot. No elevator, living on the third floor with two big boxes, it took a lot of effort
Goodwood Hotel
2.7/559 Reviews
Kings Cross-Islington
Location 15 minutes walk from Eurostar station! You have to take your luggage to climb the stairs. The room is very small, the water pressure is very low, and the sound insulation is poor ... It takes 5 pounds to store your luggage.
