"The Standard has been a hotel I've wanted to stay in for a number of years so when a work trip came up and I had the opportunity to stay, I was thrilled. It's clear why so many people love this hotel and return time and time again, while I really enjoyed my time here, there were a couple of things which stopped this from being a five-star stay. On check-in, I was prompted to pay again despite paying in advance, the receptionist eventually realised this but there was a lack of attention to detail and I found them to be a little cold. It also wasn't explained to me where breakfast was the following morning as this was included in my stay - small things I know but they matter.
I stayed in a single room which was lovely for just me, this is one of those hotels which goes all-in on the retro quirky decor and is unapologetically itself which I absolutely love, however, having to climb up into bed wasn't something I was a fan of. If I stayed again, I would probably book a different room type. I ate dinner in The Lounge and the food was really delicious, however, my meal came out well before my drink arrived and I had to ask for cutlery, just tiny things again that were missed. That said, the service at breakfast also in The Lounge was excellent and the staff were really lovely. I also used the gym during my stay and loved that they had two Peloton bikes, a real treat.
I'd definitely return to this hotel again in the future, it's wonderful and couldn't be better located."
