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.

Very convenient

This hotel is right across the street from the most convenient London Underground station. We stayed here after coming in on an early Eurostar train from Paris. The front desk was kind enough to give us one of our rooms early so we could store all our luggage and have a bit of a rest before visiting the British museum (also not far from this hotel). After staying in an apartment style hotel in the high street Kensington area this place was smaller, but we really liked the convenience to the trains and it’s a well maintained hotel.

Very disappointed!

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.

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.

Modern, large room with everything you need for a super comfortable stay. They even had a pour over coffee filter and pot in the room which made me very happy and impressed! I’ve never seen that before. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Plenty of outlets including European outlets. Easy walking distance to Euston station where we were headed to next. Would definitely stay here again.
