Very nice hotel close to King’s Cross, underground, and St. Pancras station. The staff showed us to our room and scheduled a taxi to transport us to the airport in advance. Lovely room with a partial view of St Pancras with comfy bed sheets. Unfortunately, the walls were paper thin and we could hear the people in the other room beside us. Thankfully their guests left and all was quiet.

Really cool prime location and the junior suite was nice with the jet tub on the balcony! Kind of an odd hotel but the food and bars were nice. The whole time we were there the rooftop was pretty much closed unfortunately. Staff was nice. I would recommend if you want something a little different

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.

The Standard is easily one of the best hotels I've stayed at. The thoughtfully designed property is full of surprises around every corner. The library/lounge, bar and beer garden, rooftop area, and the Banksy artwork are just a few of my favorite features. The terrace suite was spacious and I loved the nook with the cushy leather couches and dining area. The view of the city was great and the balcony tub was also a great feature. Lastly, the staff were kind and helpful, especially the upbeat woman who checked us in! Would love to return!
