Could do with bit of upgrading

Third visit to this hotel and like the location into London. Felt the hotel could do with a bit of upgrading now as a bit tired. Booked a standard room and wish I had gone for superior as was the first time in standard. Thought it would be a king size bed not double. Requested a high floor and not overlooking the track but got 6th floor and really noisy from the track. Found the hotel quite noisy in general by other guests and was surprised at that as didnt have anything like this before. Would I stay again probably not as other hotels at the same price.
