Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Standard London from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Standard London is known for its modern and spacious rooms, with some offering striking views of St Pancras station and the London skyline. Guests often appreciate the unique touches, like rain jackets in the closet and the option for sneaker cleaning. The location is a major plus, with convenient access to Kings Cross/St Pancras station and the Coal Drop Yard's shops and restaurants; however, some guests have noted that the windows aren't completely soundproof despite the busy location. A highlight for many is the rooftop bar, offering fabulous views and a place to unwind.

Fantastic Stay!!!

thoughtfully designed hotel rooftop area effective blackout drapes convenient location
This hotel is thoughtfully designed, with surprises around every corner. I especially liked the library lounge, rooftop area, and the Banksy artwork. The King room offered a comfy bed and effective blackout drapes ensuring a good night's sleep. The location is convenient, close to multiple tube lines and major train lines. I found shopping for snacks and morning coffee quite easy.
The system was down when I checked out. I received the invoice after I returned home.
Facilities
9/10
The fitness center was well-equipped. It offered guests a good range of options. The hotel provides a library area with drinks and snacks, a bar, and a rooftop bar, ensuring diverse leisure opportunities. Its shiny red livery is definitely far from standard in this area.
Rooms
9/10
The room was spacious, presenting a joyful mash-up of Bauhaus and colourful 70s chic. It featured comfortable beds and pillows, promoting a restful sleep. The room also offered a great view, especially of the Shard.
Dining
10/10
I found the dining options distinctive, offering a fun experience. The nachos were AMAZING!!! I also discovered a very nice bourbon thanks to a staff recommendation. Breakfast service was superb and friendly. The food was also good.
Location

The hotel is literally a short walk from Kings Cross, a great central location. Its situation is super convenient for Eurostar travel or access to airport connections. Proximity to shops allows for easy access to snacks and supplies.

poor soundproofing high minibar prices
I gotta say, the room wasn't exactly hitting the mark. The soundproofing needs a serious upgrade, I swear I heard more of the city noise than I wanted too. And don't get me started on the minibar prices. They were highway robbery, I almost choked on my water when I saw the bill. It reminded me of the hotel was trying to squeeze every last penny out of me.

I am thankful the staff was friendly. They helped me find good restaurants nearby. My room was quiet and dark at night. It had thick curtains, so I could sleep well.
