The Standard Hotel, London

Rooftop restaurant was stunning.

Excellence location ! Convenience to move around with the Metro and Eurostar train. Recommended

The hotel room rates is on the high size. I have to upgrade to the bigger room size in order to have put our two large luggage.

Great location Clean compact room Good service

Not good value for money - they don’t even give you a complimentary bottle of water The tap was broken an was dripping all night waking me up… They kept pushing a room upgrade , online and at the check in

Friendly staff

Not enough tea and milk , ( 1 milk sachet ) , had to ask for more

Too many rules we couldn't have breakfast outside in the covered area as it was set up for lunch

I liked the facilities, decor, staff, location.

The pastries were not fresh, the toiletries and milk were not replaced daily, the wardrobe design in part didn’t work, no bedside tables.

The service in Isla was not good enough The food was lovely

Location and facilities ie decimo & sweeties

Sweeties was closed for a private function which was disappointing as our son was 21 and excited to visit the bar ( Saturday night ) then it was closed on the Sunday

Stylish and comfortable with nice smelling toiletries.

Location was great, staff were fab. Great views from the room. The restaurant and bars were also fab.

i thought they were a little stingy with the added extras, bathrobes were really small. products could have been a bit more premium

Bar and restaurant

The breakfast was nice & served by friendly staff. We had a room overlooking the back of the hotel & from our terrace the view was amazing! We had the skyline of London from the city to the post office tower. Taking in St Paul’s cathedral & the millennium wheel.

Its lighting was quite dark for me & the decor was not necessarily my taste. The room was decorated in a scandi way with no door to the bathroom which when sharing with your teenage son was not ideal for him.

Stayed before. Lovely rooms, friendly staff. Good location. Nice breakfast.

Returned to hotel after our meal out with friends. Very disappointing rooftop bar was closed to a private party and the restaurant / bar opposite was full so nowhere to get a drink. Went to ground floor and eventually a table came free at 11pm but last orders was 12pm. Tea / coffee condiments lacking, only 2 milk sachets for 2 people not enough and only 1 coffee

Beautiful and exceptional quality

Incessant upselling via emails before the stay. Plus I felt anxious about being told there is a hidden extra ‘optional fee’ for some of the staff? I don’t like this trend for many reasons. At the end of the stay I felt it was very hard to say no and I won’t stay again because of this. Surely remuneration should be adequate basic pay not optional.

Location is great for Kings Cross and St Pancras stations. It is very close to the new Coal Drops Yard are to the North of Kings cross which is a bit of a new cultural hotspot with many shops and restaurants etc. The tube stations here are accessible and allow you to travel very easily to all parts of London. The views from the hotel were amazing. We could see all the major landmarks in the distance and they were all lit up at night. We were on the 7th floor and there was nothing really blocking our view at this height. The room was fantastic. We opted for a slightly larger room and we're glad we did, there was plenty of room for both of us to not feel too cramped. Special mention to the FOH staff who greeted us and quickly dealt with our check-in and check-out. They were extremely professional and knowledgable, a real credit to the hotel. We felt immediately welcome and comfortable.

The pillows were very soft (feather). This is personal preference but I like a firmer pillow and there was no option to change it. Apart from that very minor point, there was really nothing else we didn't enjoy about our stay.

Great location and fantastic design, loved the mid century furniture and fittings. It looks like the hotel is maintained to a high standard. Staff were excellent

Terrible pillows, bed a bit too hard

Really friendly staff who genuinely seem to want to help

Only 2 small milk sachets

Absolutely loved the location and the style of the building. Great welcome from Pablo on the front desk, but all the staff were lovely. Fantastic city views from our corner ‘queen of queens’ room.

Nothing!

A lovely and fun hotel in the heart of Kings Cross. I was there at a very busy time and staff was very accomodating. The views from roof top restaurant are not to be missed.

Very busy. Must make reservations for restaurants. The gym is in the basement is really datk. Lighting in the rooms could be better but the lively decor makes up for it.

We liked the hotel and service. Very friendly helpful service with cheery staff.

The room was ok, but the lighting was terrible. Also, there were no sockets on 1 side of the bed. That was disappointing. The lights were too dim, no option to brighten them up more, for a room without a window, it was very disappointing! It was very difficult to put makeup on, as only bright light was in front of the sink, so we could not sit on the bed or sofa to get ready.

More tea bags, milk and coffee in room please

More tea bags, milk and coffee in room please

Trendy, thoughtful design. Great vibe and dining options. Staff were mostly attentive and helpful.

Great spot for public transport but access by car is a bit tricky due to one way roads.

Location and services

Room was awesome. Enjoyed the little details of the design of the rooms and hotel. Room was spaciuos and bed was comfortable.

Location Comfy beds

Breakfast ordered to room was disappointing Eggs were too rich - with added garnish Sourdough was heavy Fruit salad was poor Booked in was reminded we had room with no windows 🙄 I hadn’t realised just booked cheapest option to be fair

The room was clean and comfortable. Location good was close to Kings Cross and St Pancras

Food was expensive and not very good. We had an evening meal and breakfast, it was very disappointing. The second day we ate out. There were plenty of places to eat nearby.

Great , fancy

The hotel is maybe a little too big with too much things happening . Parties , restaurants , events . Makes you feel a little outsider at your hotel you have chosen to stay . But it’s only a small detail . In the room , more light in the dressing zone would be nice .

Location, the general vibe is fun and relaxed

Nothing in particular.

Very clean lovey room, with a fab view ( which is what id requested!)

Went to bar on 10th floor and invited friends, we never got served our drinks that we ordered (25 mins wait) in the end we had to leave as we had a table booked at another restaurant. That was poor service. I think it s a little much when checking out that you are given a 5% service charge on the bill. I know it's optional, but you feel a little pressured to accept it.

Location and bar/restaurant areas

Not so keen on the room decor, but bed comfortable

Excellent

One of the lifts did not work

Very friendly

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Despite my room being on the Euston road side (with a great view!) I could not hear much noise from outside as the soundproofing is excellent.

Location is best thing on this hotel which it’s literally in front of king cross train station

Location wise cannot argue is very good.

Cost of such properties in London pay premium for what it is and very expensive for type of accommodation it is. Staff friendly but still overly expensive.

Location was great

Breakfast service was clunky

Lovely hotel ,very close to rail services and taxis ,room with a reasonable view of the city ,exceptionally clean ,very comfortable bed and good quality linen . had a a small snack in the Library cafe ,was VERY impressed that I got a good size teapot of tea.with REAL !! tea leaves !! and good quality tea ,also better for the environment best tea Ihave had in a hotel 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.the coffee was also delicious . Staff very friendly throught and very helpfull ..Would stay again ..🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Complimentry water in the room would be a nice gesture for the price of the room.. as it was only available from the mini bar .

Helpful staff. Great location, next to train station.

Too pricey. No windows in the room, felt claustrophobic. No coffee in the room.

Location was perfect and im glad i was placed on the side that overlooked the shard and south London, not St Pancras.

no DAB radio stations on the tv

Including the optional service charge is a bit much - the hotel should pay its' staff well. Any further tip should be at the discrection of the guest and not included as the default.

Lovely rooms, comfortable beds and quality toiletries

Had to wait a long time to use the lifts in the evenings as they're also used for the restaurant on the top floor.

It has a great view of the st. Pancras hotel and the train station is across The street. So accessible

Nothing is free, even the water has to be purchased basic dental kit is not there u have to pay literally everything it was absurd considering it’s a 5 star hotel.

Excellent location opposite St Pancras station. Check in and check out the smoothest I’ve ever experienced! Staff always polite and helpful.

Room layout was a little bit of a triumph of style over functionality

Staff are exceptional

WiFi

Location was fine Shower was good

Attitude of the staff was appalling especially the check-in staff. Still haven’t had my £200 deposit returned….

Location, Roof Top, Decimo Restaurant

Nothing

Position for Eurostar, canal walk & lots of other activities. The restaurant. Staff very friendly & seemed happy even late at night. Very convenient location. Nice terrace bar.

For your standard of hotel, it would have been nice to have had the first bottle of water on arrival on the house? Also with my early morning coffee or tea, I was looking for a cookie of some sort? Usually in hotels you are offered a small packet of 2 cookies on the coffee tea making tray each? Cookies can be bought wrapped in twos....! Another important fact, I was disappointed after having been to the theatre with my nephew & his girlfriend from Belgium, we w had a nightcap in your bar & wanted a few nibbles, but the kitchen had just closed! The time was 22.35pm,? I thought this country wants to boost the economy? London used to be the be the best capital in the world? All in all I enjoyed my stay. But next time remind me to buy some sandwiches when returning from a show?

the interior was fabulous! the architecture, the used colours, the tiles, the furniture ... it all created a lovely vintage atmosphere

the noise from the disco/bar on the 10th floor/ We slept in room 909, beautiful room and view but untill late we had to hear the beats ...

The front staff's willingness to accommodate our schedule

The friendly staff and the quirky decor it's definitely where Austin Powers would have stayed!. The rooms were really quite big and the beds comfortable.

The slow service in the double standard and small portion sizes in the same.
