What guests think

Reviews of The Standard London highlight a stylish, design-forward hotel with vibrant social spaces and an exceptionally convenient location opposite King’s Cross and St Pancras, as well as consistently friendly, accommodating staff.

Rooms are comfortable and modern, though several reviews note some are windowless or small, with quirky open-plan bathrooms, limited storage or outlets, and occasional temperature or water-pressure issues. Service is widely praised, but there are repeated mentions of slow check-in or restaurant service, housekeeping missed unless requested, and billing or automatic service charge disputes. Facilities earn compliments for multiple bars, a rooftop venue, and lively public areas, while the gym feels basic, the rooftop can be closed or reservation-only at times, and there’s no pool or spa. Expect a trendy, well-located base with great energy—check room type details and be mindful of service quirks.

Had a wonderful stay, i really love this hotel in London. The service location and overall experience was great, espically if you are looking for a modern vibe. Downsides where: i would love for the water pressure in the shower to be stronger, an evening turndown service would be great and the fact that decimo and the roof top are closed on sunday monday where a real disappointment.

The lounge was a mess yesterday evening with little to no service. Also the Rooftop Bar would not allow guests to seating which was reserved but we were not advised on checking in that was necessary. However, the seating area was largely unoccupied when we arrived at 4.30pm. We were only there for 30 minutes. Cocktails were not great and much better downstairs in the Double Standard.

Nice welcome from staff. Booked room was big and clean. Noticed the noise from Euston Road more this time. Declined to pay a £27 optional service charge particularly as I returned to my room late pm to find there had been no cleaning undertaken. The cleaner turned up after 4pm to tidy the room which was too late. Not massive quibbles but if you want to be 5 star.

Was down to see friends for a couple of nights and I stayed in a junior suite. Lovely room. I’d brought my electric toothbrush and they don’t have the charging ports in the bathroom so I went to buy a manual toothbrush too, they should probably mention they don’t have electric charging sockets in the bathrooms to avoid this - or provide manual toothbrushes. Service was very good, Jess on reception was lovely, but I had asked for an iron to be sent up because they charge for steaming your clothes, a first I have ever heard of in any 5 star hotel (generally I stayed at Chiltern Firehouse and recently Ham Yard, Raffles at OWO, Nobu etc and no one has ever charged for this, which I found a bit of a shock and they charge 50% more if you want it on the same day- dry cleaning I understand, but steaming I expect to be a complimentary service). The first two irons didn’t work and another person bought one up that finally worked. Roof bar spot on Cleanliness - when I looked at my shower, I found that my shower hadn’t previously been rinsed of someone’s else’s hair who had used the room before me, which isn’t the end of the world, but also not what I expect from a 5 star hotel. I wasn’t asked about my stay when checking out, only what I had from the minibar. No one asked me about the 5% optional service charge they email you about either, she just input an amount that was taken off card automatically, so unsure if I paid that and thought that was quite sly if they had added it in.

The hotel staff was very nice and the food was exceptional at Decimo. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room left MUCH to be desired with debris splattered in the wall, someone’s hair left in the shower, someone’s eyelashes left in the filthy tub, a filthy and stained bathroom floor, debris all around the carpeted floor, and a countertop that I wiped down myself to find it left behind a grimy tissue. Not to mention the tattered sheet/duvet cover and the obvious old blood I found on my pillow. I would recommend checking out the restaurant and the bar on the 10th floor if you have a chance but I would stay elsewhere if you would like to be comfortable when you return to your room.

The Standard London was a nice stay. It is right next to King's Cross and St. Pancreas Station, which makes is very convenient and accessible. The room was comfortable. The one thing we were not expecting is that for the basic rooms, since they are in the middle of the building, they don't have windows. If you are staying for more than 2 nights, I'd recommend booking an upgraded room so you can see the sunlight during the day. We didn't know if it was a gloomy or sunny day. Other than that, staff was lovely and property was nicely kept.

We booked city view deluxe room, but the room is very small and no place to hang towels or anything in bathroom, and no room to store clothes so pretty much you have to keep all clothes in your suitcase due to no drawers. This hotel needs a remodeling, if you only stay a night or two is okay, for 5 nights or more not so much. All the staff are friendly and helpful.

Quirky and stylish hotel. Room was spacious with nice little touches like a pour over coffee brewer with ground coffee, and a Bluetooth speaker (although we couldn’t get this to work with our device for some reason). We didn’t spend any time in the restaurant or bar, but explored then briefly and they had a really nice relaxed atmosphere. For some reason the room got uncomfortably hot overnight, despite starting the night with the temperature control nearly at minimum, and the flow control at max. Had to get up at about 4am to turn the control to minimum temperature, which did improve comfort but overall resulted in a disturbed night. Front desk staff were helpful and mentioned that we could have called them at any time, but to be honest I just wanted to go back to bed asap! The only other thing I would improve is that the shower head was quite blocked with scale, and is probably the kind of thing that easily gets missed or not tested when cleaning. Overall a really pleasant experience.

I am really angry. We had a great stay. Loved the property. Would definitely revisit. BUT... despite already paying for our stay through Hotels.com, and confirming this with the member of staff at check-in, I have been charged the full amount and now need to go to the trouble of trying to obtain a refund. This has really spoiled our experience and impression of the hotel.

This hotel has charged me three times for the same bill - and they have been so RUDE about it. Upon checkout, I paid for the burger I ordered from room service. Due to an issue with their terminal, to date I have been charged THREE times for the one burger - which also includes a £10.50 service fee each time (totalling nearly £80 in charges, for one burger at this point). I understand that glitches occur, but the male staff member was so incredibly rude about it - and they have not responded to my follow up email, requesting that the duplicate charges be reversed. Location of this hotel is amazing. But it isn’t worth the price $$.

There is no cleaning unless you specifically ask for it (and no one tells you that at the check-in on a 5-star hotel!!). It took forever to check-in and any requests are ignored. The hotel looks like a tivoli from 1990s. May have been chic in NYC 20 years ago - but not today.

The hotel property was very nice. The front desk was very accommodating and easy to work with. The accounting is poor. They incorrectly charged for a restaurant bill automatically and then over charged for what they did charge me. They are not only keeping my deposit but charging me more for the incorrect charges. I am in contact with them in hopes of getting a rpartial efund. I did turn my keys in to front desk and told we were good to go, no discussion or sign off on any charges pending. Watch your bill.

I do not usually provided reviews however this is at best an average hotel close to kings cross.... In my opinion... however make your own mind up if you choose to stay there It does not have anything like a five star feel to it It is a little tired and dated.. and in my view trying to be something it isn't I probably wouldn't have left a review but this hotel took an unauthorised 5% 'gratuity' that is not listed on expedia.. I received an email later describing as optional....

The rooms are cool, nicely decorated, retro modern, and have great amenities. The staff are wonderful, casual yet incredibly professional. The location is ultra convenient, you can stare at St Pancras station all morning then step across the road to board your train to another destination (or do it in reverse if you've just arrived). Can't wait to stay again

Our room service for breakfast was an absolute delight (ham cheese omelette, pancakes and matcha latte). Their location is right cross the major King Cross station (incl the Eurostar arrival station). The hotel also has a great rooftop bar. Definitely will come back to this hotel next time! P.S.
