The Standard Hotel, London
More photosExpert reviews
“A monumental renovation, right across Euston Road, is now home to Europe’s first Standard Hotel. It took years and many millions to turn this Brutalist former municipal structure into the luxury hotel that opened last summer.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in King’s Cross, London.
“Standards are renowned for their always-on-the-verge-of-a-party vibe, and by locating the London outpost in a unique building in a rapidly regenerating part of the city, they’ve established, yet again, their signature edgy tone. The building was once part of Camden Town Hall—so both the interiors and the conversations used to be much more subdued.”

All you need to know
The Standard Hotel is located in the middle of King Cross, above Euston Road and on the same street as the famous St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. Nearby there is the famous British Library, Welcome Collection museum, few bars, and a 10-minute walk to Central Saint Martin. The neighborhood is fairly crowded and brimming with traffic generally.
The hotel has a distinctive exterior with the glass extension and it is easily recognizable from afar. The entire style is based on the 70s with radiant tiles, plants, and eccentric lighting. There are facilities like lifts and adapted rooms for the disabled.
The Standard Hotel has about 266 rooms, all these rooms are very aesthetic and Instagram worthy. The entire set up reflects the 70s vibe in away. These rooms have natural light, comfy seating, air-conditioning, free WiFi, fully-stocked mini-fridge, and also a minibar. The bathroom style ranges just like the rooms, a few have tubs however every one of them has showers.
The hotel offers no spa since it claims to be more party than pamper. But you are facilitated with 24hours security, gym, laundry service, and 24hrs room service. It is an ideal venue to host gigs and throw some extraordinary parties.
The staff is friendly and cooperative but the hotel is not merely for children friendly, because of its atmosphere and care-free environment.

I've been a fan of the Standard hotel London for a long time. It's always a pleasure to come back here with my husband or with colleagues. I love the interior and the exterior, the food, the staff and, certainly, the vibe at the Standard hotel.
Wifi was poor. None of us could access the internet. This made us difficult to work and browse. The staff could not work this out either. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Exceptional, vibrant, design hotel.
Location is super, especially if you arrive by Eurostar. Amazing views from rooms and rooftop bar. Santander bicycle station next to the hotel with usually plenty regular and e-bikes available. Nicely designed in consistent 70-80s style. At times, slightly confronting throwback to our youth. Vibrant restaurant/bars. Relaxed atmosphere. Staff adequate.
Perhaps all in all a tiny bit on the pricy side for rooms and -especially- for food and drinks. Mattress on the soft side.

Stylish hotel in amazing location
Location is perfect. We loved our room. We have stayed in a King of Kings before which was bigger. This time we were in the Kings Deluxe and we loved the view of the St Pancras Clock Tower from the window. Staff are really warm and welcoming too.
Couple of things in the room:
- no toilet brush. Why?
- nowhere to hang wet towels
Small details that can make the world of difference

Great bar and restaurant. Food was excellent.
The room was a little small, so less accessible for couple with reduced mobility.
