The Standard Hotel, London

The location was very convenient next to Kings Cross Station

The fact that there is a £100 deposit taken for every night you stay. I would have preferred to pay any extras on check out than wait for the money to be refunded. Also on check out the receptionist seemed more concerned whether we had taken anything from the mini bar.He never even bothered to ask if everything had been okay and if we had enjoyed our stay. He just said that's all done.

Great location and great staff. The hotel has a 70’s vibe. We found plenty of local places to eat. Our room was big

Beautiful hotel, just across the road from St Pancras Station. Loved the decor in the room, excellent facilities and the staff were lovely. We ordered breakfast to the room which was delicious and really reasonably priced.

Nothing, we really liked our stay.

À very good stay , price wise comfortable clean hotel with a lot of facilities and excellent location

Everything ! The shower, personal facilities. Steam iron. Table with corner seating. Tv. Tea and coffee with kettle. Large comfortable bed. Fantastic pillows.

Nothing.

The hotel is perfectly located in front of the Saint Pancras station. The gym is great, staff is nice. Breakfast is delicious and bed is confortable

Some rooms don't have windows which is really disturbing

Location is great and 24 hour room service was awesome after a long day of travel!

Small room but that was to be expected.

I thought breakfast was very disappointing Had to wait 15 mins for bacon to be cooked then scrambled eggs had gone , Complained to member of staff but didn’t have any affect

Service in Breakfadt room

Always delivers - great room and vibes

One of the reception staff was a bit off but we all have bad days ☺️

Great location. Lovely design. Comfortable bed.

Room was well kitted out but small for the price paid.

Location was fantastic. Room was clean.

Did not like the shower. Very open. Lights were difficult to use. Outlets did not work. Very cluttered room.

The location is great for Bloomsbury, the quieter sites of London. Loved the bars and restaurants.. great food and drinks. Feels like an independent hotel but is a fairly large, worldwide chain.

Breakfast was a bit manic and service generally, was a little impersonal given the price of an overnight stay.

Lovely and quirky

The extra after price tax which we’ren’t mentioned at the booking.com stage. The rooms didn’t;t stipulate they were internal rooms without windows.

Excellent location - cool bars and restaurants

Bathroom tiles

Spacious and well equipped rooms, friendly staff.

No window in room. Porridge and matcha we ordered room service for breakfast was really not good.

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
