Staff were above and beyond helpful and chatty when checking in. Room was awesome, one minor niggle was that there was a knob broken on the light... it was usable but kept falling off. Was disappointed that the plants in the shower were plastic but appreciate there is no natural light. Roof was awesome. The lounge bar was fantastic didn't want to leave! Would definitely recommend and would like to go back and experience one of the fancier rooms with an outside balcony area

Nice hotel, great location. Went for a coffee in the restaurant while we waited for a train. Asked to be sat outside as it was a warm day - put us right next to a raging fire - on a 30 degree day?! Sat back inside and staff seemed bemused that we had moved tables (despite us telling one of them prior to moving). £13 for a coffee and lemonade. It is what it is.

We arrived at The Standard, greeted by Valentina, check in was seamless, our room wasn't quite ready so we left our luggage and popped to Oneills bar down the street, on our return our luggage was in the room, the room was beautiful, we had a junior terrace suite on the 8th floor overlooking St Pancras station, amazing. We didn't use the restaurant as we had reservations elsewhere but I would highly recommend the hotel, perfect for Kings Cross station and there's a little store round the corner for bits you might need. The rooftop bar is fab too.

Bugs in room on first floor. Mildew smell in room. Our friend also staying in hotel on different floor also had bugs in his room. Notified staff and they sent housekeeping which offered to clean my toilets. Informed them again upon checkout of bugs and staff were again not helpful. To top it off we dined in The Double Standard and I got ill from eating the food. Overall it had potential with the cool rooftop and nice dining options but extremely disappointing considering the price we paid for this.

Sorry. The space is a bit run down. Feels like it needs a refresh. The room was dark and no windows. Made me feel like I was in a panic room. The highlight is the roof for sure. But will nit be booking it again. Shame cause the Standard in NYC is great!! A far higher level of service and quality. Hope they solve cause it should be cool.

We had a wonderful stay for two nights with a great location for the Metro and train station. The bed was very comfortable and we had space for our suitcases. The bathroom was very clean and having A/C when the weather was overly hot was a huge bonus. Would stay again.

The room was always clean. The personnel were very helpful. The bathroom had a strange configuration with the toilet down the hall from the sink and shower. And there were no towel racks and not much storage space for our clothes. That is the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5. Otherwise it was a very nice room with air conditioning during a horrible heat wave. It was nice to have restaurants on the property. And it was near the tube and train station.

I checked in with a dog and they were so lovely, gave us a bed and bowls and made us very welcome. I ordered room service just coffee and a breakfast chia bowl - this wasn’t good value or good taste. Gorgeous view of St Pancras but I hoped to spend the morning on the roof with my dog in the sun and he wasn’t allowed there: I understand rules but I wish it said that as he was welcome everywhere else and it’s why I booked the hotel.
