Perfect relaxed location in central London
Pros:

The interior was so cool and the whole vibe of the place was warm, friendly and relaxed.

Cons:

The only minor thing was getting a few emails about additional charges after booking, not a good first impression. The actual hotel experience made up for this though.

Top tier experience at Decimo
Pros:

This was a fab dinner. Location was top tier, stunning views across London, delicious cocktails and wonderful service. Our server, Magz, made great recommendations and we followed his tips to the letter for one of the tastiest meals we've had in a very long time.

Good vibes, attentive and considerate service and flavoursome food, a night to remember!

Our cocktails were made to measure too and our mixologist was fantastic!

We will be back for sure. Magz is the best!!

Fantastic Special Occasion
Pros:

This was a very fantastic memorable experience. The reception desk staff were very welcoming and shared a good conversation. Arriving at our table, we were served by Lut. She was awesome. Her "Service with a Smile" was truly genuine and she helped us navigate the menu to select a meal that was exceptional. The flavours were exciting. This was a special occasion for us and Lut made that happen. Thank You Lut!

Amazing !!!!!! BENI IS GREAT
Pros:

BENI was truly a great experience. He really knows how to craft cocktails and knows how to take care of a client/customer these drinks are an art and that is something he definitely has mastered because these are the types of drinks people like to sip and enjoy this is not a shot or something to chug and Beni really takes care of that for us.

The Standard is more than standard 👌🏾
Pros:

I was in the UK for Wimbledon from South Africa. Checked in by Marc, and as a first time traveller to the UK he made me so comfortable & gave me a quick sum up of what to expect. Everything he said was spot on. We had a great time with our stay and thanks to Marc for setting the tone before taking his day off the next day. Salute

Terrible experience at The Standard
Pros:

I had a terrible experience with The Standard this time. I am a regular here usually and prefer to stay at The Standard because my friends and colleagues also prefer staying close to Kings Cross but the experience this time was pathetic. Firstly, air con stopped working multiple times inside the room. With heatwave around the corner, it was super hard to sleep without the air con. I regularly called the front desk and asked them to fix it. They fixed the issue in 20-30mins after calling but the issue kept occuring repeatedly. Secondly, while checking out, I arrived earlier at the frontdesk to checkout but still someone who came after me was given preference despite waiting before the person who came after me. This was totally unprofessional and I am not sure what led to this bias in treatment from the receptionists.

I am not seriously considering if should consider The Standard for my stay next time at London.

Top marks for Chris
Pros:

Chris was phenomenal! Really great service, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu and the wine list. Really liked the cocktails before dinner too. They were also really accommodating of my partner's ceoliac allergy and made them feel very safe and looked after. Top marks all around. And the restaurant itself is beautiful. Really lovely space.
