The Standard Hotel, London

Breakfast was excellent. Benito was brilliant in looking after us.

The hang rail in the hotel room was very high. I couldn’t reach it. The annoying thing was no hand basin in the toilet. The main restaurant wasn’t open on Sunday and Monday

Breakfast was excellent. Benito our waiter was brilliant. He made us looked after.

Couple of quirks. The loo didn’t have a sink so had to go to the shower room to wash your hands. The hang rail was too high for me.

Staff was extremely friendly.

We needed to change our accommodations, due to a memorial service, the Standard refused to make any changes, over a month in advance notice, no quarter, in absolutes; so that is the reason I would not stay there again. The place was very nice lots of internal options for dining and cocktails a plus. The wait staff was very sweet, but after dealing with management ... I would be redescent to book again unfortunately.

Brilliant location just opposite Kings Cross station. Close for train, tube and Coal Drops Yard which is close by too. Quite a quirky 70's/80's design but we loved it. Beds comfortable, bar areas and places to eat excellent and there was a great DJ and party vibe in the hotel lounge when we got back late Saturday, will definitely stay here again.

Only thing that was a pain were the phone charging points in the room, you plugged in and your phone battery would actually go down!

Near St Pancras

Nothing really

Staff all wonderful. Warm and welcoming

Room felt a little tired. Could do with a refurbishment, especially the bathroom. Quite noisy with a lot of loud street noise. But location is incredible, so you have to weigh up the pros and cons of staying so close to the stations of Kings Cross & St Pancreas.

Central, comfortable

They have not yet released the money back they are holding for incidentals!

Location. Rooms

Too long to check in. Room not ready

Fab location directly opposite St Pancras!

The best thing about thi shotel is the location, when you arrive with the eurostar you just have to cross the street to check-in. Best part is king's cross is right outside the door so you can take any metro to anywhere in the city. Staff is friendly and welcoming

this was my second stay and I did not hesitate to book them again for this trip, however I'm not sure I would book them again the next time. The biggest issue I had is that now they suddenly charge you 100pounds per night for 'incidentals' and anything you might charge to your room during your stay. That is a lot of money, way too much money in my opinion. I stayed 2 nights so that's 200pounds for 1 person! it's not mentioned when booking, i only found out the day before i was arriving. yes it gets reimbursed back into your account when you don't spend anything but still, that's 200 pounds of travel budget you'sre missing out on. And yes the hotel is very nice, staff is friendly, but I overheard they are now part of the hyatt group since may 2025 and it shows. It seems this has sucked all the personality out of the hotel and i did not experience the same vibe and atmosphere. Whereas before everyone was extremely welcoming, relaxed and able to show their own personality, now it's your standard hotel service. Still very friendly but think of it more like a robot, friendly but without personality.

The check in was little confusing . Need the check in process more streamlined.

The outside lift was off/not working. The rooftop bar - they asked us to leave for non residential bookings.

- Very central location - impressive interior design

No notes

Ideal location, clean, spacious rooms, good selection of bars & restaurants, comfortable beds, lots of storage for luggage, & windows keep out city noise.

Staff made it special. Great theme and location

The location in front of Saint Pancras station is perfect when you come from the Eurostar. It has many metro lines. The restaurants options are great, rooms are clean and confortable

Nothing !

The hotel design and decor is true to period, with some exceptional areas, like the lifts, library, and top floor restaurant. Room superbly decorated, premium King, and great amount of space, light etc.

Faulty items in bedroom, like speaker, plug sockets; no bubble bath despite a massive free standing bath, very expensive mini bar, i do not expect when a hotel room costs that much more over a standard room.

The highlight goes to the location, followed by service at the hotel. Specially the security folks at the front door, always with a big smile and nice greeting.

I understand London is expensive, not my first time there. Yet I was expecting more from the hotel room due to the rates, in reality I understand the only reason for the rate is the location. We could have stayed a bit more far from the King Cross station, and still be in a very nice area and considerably more cheap. I thought I had paid for breakfast within our rate, but in the end breakfast was not even included, so as a customer I was wondering: why this price ? Short answer: If you either value stay super close to the King Cross Station, or you are up to pay more and be part of the hotel's events, than you are good to go with this hotel, otherwise look around the area and you can find cheaper deals.

The location was great and it was very easy to catch the train to different parts of the city. The room was clean and had plenty of space with great lighting. The staff was polite, attentive and allowed us to check in early.

We were looking forward to the rooftop bar and was part of the reason we booked the hotel, but it was closed for a private event which was disappointing. Going in we knew it was going to be more expensive than some of the other places we stayed, and I would probably take that into account more carefully if I booked in the future.

Great room and facilities

We didn’t have any windows in our room which was a bit weird but the room was so great it didn’t matter quite so much!

The room was great but sadly no natural lighting even though the booking said it would have had a window.

The rooftop bar staff where very rude so we did not have a drink there due to the staff being ignorant and snide and also on there mobile phone while serving us. The problem was resolved thanks to the duty manager but we will not attend the rooftop bar again if that is how it is going to be.

Great location, friendly staff, amazing roof top with great views

Could do with some international ports/plugs in the room; only uK ones available so i could only charge one device at a time.

Stayed just for the night before running the Marathon. Quirky rooms, great staff. Lovely rooftop terrace.

Nice hotel overall had to upgrade to get the nice view of Kings Cross. Room was good and spacious. in a weird way corridors and lifts have cruise ship vibe decoration wise. staff let us check in early free of charge which was amazing. great location super convenient to go to Luton airport.

reception doesn't strike you as 5 stars. the bar with view was fully booked and could not be accessed. minibar as always ridiculously overpriced, 45 quid for a small bottle of bubbly... no swimming pool in hotel.

The furnishings, bar,library styling, kinda music played

The bedroom had faults that I pointed out at the time. The rust...peeling painted area around the sink was well below star rating for the hotel.

Brilliant location for St Pancras, lovely big room with great view, friendly staff.

Nothing!

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.
