We had a standard room here in August 2012 with my wife. The check-in was efficient and we were in our room in no-time. The room itself was pretty 'compact' but had been really well thought-out so actually the space was used efficiently and everything we needed was there. The communal areas are good although I didn't think the bar... More

We had a wrap-around suite we amazing views facing the Hudson River and Financial District through floor to ceiling windows. The suite was equipped with everything you'd need except a suitable ironing board and a glass door for the shower to prevent the floor from getting flooded. The gym was also small but had the essential equipment you'd need for... More

We've stayed in the Standard a number of times before, and have always enjoyed it. Our room was south facing, with a view over the Hudson and downtown, which was as impressive as we remembered. The location of the hotel remains "cool", with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. It was also still very busy, with the bars and restaurants... More

I was lucky to be in this hotel for work meetings, everything is beautifully designed, and quite funky, I fad a view of the empire stare building from my window and enjoyed the neighbourhood, but expensive at over $450 per night.

We chose The Standard for the location - we love the Meatpacking district's restaurant and the greater feeling of space compared with Midtown. It's super cool and trendy and full of "beautiful people", which might intimidate the average tourist (we just laughed!). The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was fairly small (we stayed in a... More

Hot Damn! Seriously, I am not part of a band nor do I play an instrument (kazoo count?) but the staff at The Standard treated me and my wife like rock stars. Michael met us as we pulled up in a cab asking about our luggage. I was skeptical about this stranger on the street taking my luggage (they dress... More

This is easily my favourite NYC hotel. Great room with sublime views, great vibe, good food, a great attached grill room, good eclectic crowd, excellent location, reasonably priced, perfect for a short break or a longer stay. No downside really. Have visited often, will be back there soon.

Three complaints: Noise at night, super slow wi-fi, and some rooms have a shower stall that floods the bathroom. This place is great in rainy or cold months because there's a roof-top club and a ground-floor beer garden that generate noise into the wee-hours in the summer months. It doesn't matter which way you face during the out-door months because... More

Everything about this hotel is fun - even the hall carpet, the lobby, and the elevator rides. The views of the Hudson are gorgeous and the glass walls give a sense of spaciousness and enormous freedom. Every individual in the staff was not only helpful but also fun, and directed us to good times all around. The location on the... More
