London Hotel Guide - Highbury Leisure Centre hotels in London, United Kingdom.

"Arrived in our room and were immediately disappointed with the quality of the accommodation, the wood furniture was worn and chipped in some places and had a metal screw pointing outwards to keep a cupboard closed, which could have caught someone’s leg. We asked to change the room which the helpful receptionist did, which was slightly better and whilst the furniture was still tired and worn, at least it was safe enough. On a positive note, the view from the room we chose was great overlooking the impressive Tower Bridge. We had a lovely dinner in the hotel’s Vicinity restaurant on the first night and the staff were very friendly. We used the lovely cocktail bar on the first floor a couple of times , staff were very friendly and helpful and would definitely recommend a visit there for a night cap . Overall, the hotel had a lot of good features including the views over the impressive Tower Bridge, however, the worn and tired bedrooms that we were in, was not in keeping with what a major hotel in this landmark location should be . "

"Lovely room, fast friendly check in"

"First time staying at The Standard and it was far from that. The brutalist architecture was breathtaking, the staff friendly and accommodating, the decor is very tasteful. Food choices we found to be a little limited, but then we were eating late, so a lot of stuff had shut for food service. We wanted to try Sweeties, but it was closed for a private function, and we hadn't been made aware off. Drink prices are a little expensive, even for a central London hotel, food is extremely expensive, and to be fair, from our experience, was not up to the standard you would expect. I certainly wouldn't be having breakfast there again. Overall, an amazing experience, I would just eat elsewhere, and there is a lot of choice around!"

"Quality breakfast for London. House keeping could have been better. "

"Great budget hotel right across from St. Pancras/Kings Cross station which is super convenient. Shared showers/bathrooms were nice and we never had to fight for a spot. Only con is that if you're not on ground level the stairs are very steep so be wary if you have a lot of luggage"

"Didn't end up staying but staff was very polite on cancellation "

"Great location Excellent that it had parking Very clean ,smelt lovely all through hotel Comfortable beds Plenty of tea and coffee Nice bathroom and facilities Would stay again "

"Room was good. Not big for 4 people but we didn’t expect much different in London. Air conditioning was pretty ineffective though so the room was super hot. Breakfast was extremely busy, staff worked very hard to keep replacing food and the choices were good. Bar staff very friendly. "

"The room was very clean and the staff were friendly and nice at check in. Something to be aware of - the noise from the street was quite loud during the night. However I travel with earplugs and was expecting that in a hotel so central in London, so it didn’t cause me any major issues. The heater also wasn’t very warm but the room wasn’t super cold without it. The location is great, a very short walk to King’s Cross, and about a half hours walk into Soho/the west end if you’re in town for theatre!"
