The Standard London

The breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we can remember, with great quality and plenty of it. We stayed in a Studio Suite at The Standard as an extension of our wedding weekend, and the whole experience was incredible. The room felt decadent, with a freestanding bath, a huge comfortable bed, and lots of thoughtful design touches. We liked the rain macs too, a smart thing to have available in a London winter. The bar had a great vibe, and we enjoyed the Bookmarc by Marc Jacobs area. It’s a fun hotel with a strong design feel. We arrived a little early for check-in, and the staff were very friendly. They stored our bags and took them up to the room while we went for lunch. I lost the note with the names of the checkout and concierge/baggage staff, though the baggage person might have been Dan. The Standard, please check who was working at 12:15pm on Monday 15th December '25. They were all top class and a credit to the hotel. We’d definitely recommend staying here, good vibes all round.

The location’s great, and the tea in the room was good. The room itself wasn’t comfortable enough for the price, though. There’s a huge mirror right beside the bed with no way to cover it. It felt creepy waking up at night and seeing it. The dial-based climate control has no numbers, so adjusting it was a guessing game. It looks stylish, but isn’t practical. The WiFi was reasonably quick, but casting to the room TV didn’t work well. Since the whole hotel uses the same network, I could cast to a room on the 8th floor but couldn’t find my own TV. There’s no guide on the TV either, so channel surfing felt like the old days. I’m glad I only stayed one night. The tea earns an extra star.

We spent Christmas at The Standard and had a really lovely stay. The rooms were modern and cosy, just right for unwinding over the holidays. Zidane at reception deserves a mention. He was calm, friendly, and very efficient, making check-in smooth and readily helping whenever we had questions. It’s nice to be welcomed by someone professional but still approachable. Great hotel and team, highly recommend! :)

My dog and I had a great stay, and I loved that there was no extra charge for bringing a pet. The staff were really friendly, the shower was great, and the location right by King Cross St. Pancras was superb. The hotel was also incredibly clean. I don’t know how they keep it that way while welcoming pets. Thanks, we’ll come back!
