Insistence on showing ID at checkin not made clear prearrival. Showed clerk a photo railcard but not good enough - I am a retired British subject and room was fully prepaid - I have stayed at least 10 times before and never had this issue.

Great location and the windowless rooms were very quiet and perfect for resting after a long flight.

Beautiful hotel with very attentive staff. Stayed before an early morning train and the location is ideal for aces to Kings Cross. PS: The sticky toffee pudding was a winner!

Generally, it was a pleasant hotel. We stayed in a junior suite and found the rooms large and light. We found furniture inside, as well as at the terrasse, was uncomfortable, tables in wrong height and/or unpractical from a work perspective. Basic privacy in the bathroom vs. bedroom is non existing, and light dimming is not working, so if you at night take to used the bathroom you certainly will wake up your partner. It seems that the hotel, in its strive to be hip and smart, has disregarded basic requirements of use.

The staff were very friendly. It was convenient staying across the street from Kings Cross/St Pancras station as it was a direct line to and from Heathrow. Also our day trip to Paris train was right there. The tube made travel easier throughout the city.

I paid $500/night for a room that had no windows and a shower that flooded the entire bathroom every time I used it. Seriously?

I enjoyed my 2 stays at The Standard. The staff was outstanding, both of my rooms were comfortable, wonderfully appointed and of course, clean. I wish that I remembered the names of each of the staff members who welcomed and assisted me during my stay. The hotel has a very plush and contemporary vibe.

Great stay for one might. Great proximity to train station. Melvin at check-in desk was awesome. Super helpful and accommodating.

Very professional welcome and check in. Good introduction by Concierge before arrival. Well appointed room on First Floor. Very comfortable bed and well sound proofed. Will visit again.

Absolutely fantastic stay. The room was really spacious and so comfortable. The bed was huge and so so comfy! Service was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. It was my partner’s birthday and we received 2 free cocktails whilst waiting for our room. We were able to check in early which was amazing. The personalised text service to arrange a cake for my partner in the room was so helpful too. We will definitely stay again and recommend, it was perfect! We tried to recreate the sofa photo but didn’t do very well!

I love the 70s vibe of this hotel, super chic - wish I was staying more than one night to really appreciate it. Staff were friendly and helpful from the second I was outside the hotel with my bags and were ready to help with whatever I needed!

I'm very happy with our stay in Standard Hotel. Geate location for easy transportation and excellent customer services. Will definitely come back when travel in London again.

Wonderful staff. Wonderful food in the restaurants. Room was very spacious. Will definitely stay again!

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.

Once again a standout hotel in London!

Third time staying at this hotel. It’s always a great place to recover from a transatlantic flight. Great staff, loved the rooms, grateful for the gym even though it’s limited, great food and drink options.

We were staying in London before getting the Eurostar to France and The Standard is about as convenient as you can get without paying the exorbitant prices at the St Pancras Hotel. Having said that, it wasn't cheap, but that is London these days. There was a problem with our credit card - their machine kept getting an error - and the woman at the desk blamed it on our card, saying it was because it was a cash-back card, which has nothing to do with it working! I'm sure it was an issue with either their machine or our bank, but the error code was useless. We ended up having to use a debit card which wasn't ideal. It would perhaps have been better to have us try again later in the day. They had the card number from the reservation and it worked then anyway. Aside from that, the room was clean and comfortable and the air conditioning worked well and wasn't noisy as is sometimes the case. We had a drink on the roof terrace which was OK, but there were no places to sit and the drinks were pre-mixed which is a bit disappointing at the price. Dinner in Isla was very nice and the service was very good. We had wanted to eat at Decimo but it was being renovated which it didn't say anywhere on the website, so that was a bit disappointing as well. All in all, it was useful for our needs, but definitely isn't cheap.

Great location, very welcoming staff and comfortable renovated rooms. No complaints!
