We stayed here for one night as we were going to see a gig and would have missed our last train home. I booked a windowless room and didn't know what to expect from this hotel. But WOW! We were so impressed. Every single member of staff was so friendly and helpful. Check-in was very efficient. The hotel is really well designed and the room was impressive. Spotlessly clean, nothing missing, everything you need... We went up to the bar in the evening to get the incredible views (and the drinks were excellent too!). The location is so convenient. We will be staying here again.

this is not your typical hotel! In a good way of course - and it’s not for everyone. Most of the bad reviews here seem due to people not liking the decor and room design which is very subjective. But this place is seriously a modernist gem filled with 70s groovy vibes. Stylish in its own unique way. Everything from signage to brochures and phones and light switches are carefully considered. Staff is super friendly and chill. Kings cross is a bit of a chaotic area but the hotel made sure to always have at least one doorman outside the doors to keep tab on people coming in and out to ensure security. Of course it’s so easy to get anywhere else in London or even Europe by just crossing the street - the tube, many train lines, and even the Eurostar is minutes away If you’re into design and well themed unique hotels, definitely don’t miss out! It’s worth the price.

I'm reviewing this place as an event venue! Came here for the Horsegiirl event and couldn't have been happier! All the staff were super organized and all aspects of the night were covered. Bartenders were nice, staff monitoring bathrooms, coatcheck, and the balcony were amazing. The event venue was AMAZING! Top floor panoramic views of Kings Cross with lots of great seating and a further upstairs outdoor balcony with fantastic views of London. The sound system was great. Drinks were a bit pricey (but the event was free so I can't complain). I'd love to come back here if I got the chance!

Awesome 5 nights spent in this hotel, we were so sad to leave. The mattress was super comfortable we knocked out almost immediately after laying on the bed. Really worth it to get the king size bed. One point to note is that the rooms are meant for couples as the bathroom is open and doesn’t have a door (unless you’re okay with that!) 5 star location too- right above Kings Cross tube station which gives you easy access to all the major tourist sights. Not to mention the bus stop right in front of the hotel

Stylish, clean, and refreshingly different, The Standard is my top pick near King's Cross—especially if you find rounded corners more comforting than sharp edges. The hotel always feels fresh, and the front desk staff are consistently helpful and available. I've stayed here many times over several years, and while the rooms vary wildly in layout—sometimes amusingly so—they're always clean and well-maintained. Room sizes are mid-range for the area. My one persistent gripe is the televisions: audio often cuts out intermittently, and during certain periods, the video fails regularly as well. This issue has been consistent across many stays and confirmed by others. Still, for comfort, style, and service, The Standard remains a strong choice.
