Swanky hotel. Great staff. Maybe me and my boys had bad luck? But we won’t be staying at this hotel again. I spent too m
Pros:

Amazing staff! Great location.

Cons:

My shower curtain was moldy in my first room! and I didn’t notice until I went to take a shower my kids later that night. I called the front desk to ask for a new shower curtain. They asked if they could move us to another room. I really didn’t want to move to another room. It was late an me and my 2 kids had a really unpacked, we’d been out all day, so the thought of packing up was exhausting. They couldn’t change the shower curtain that night, so we had to move to another room. The shower curtain in the second room was much cleaner, but there little gnats hanging out along the walls on the curtains and in the bathroom! I killed what I could find, but by this time the kids were disgusted by the shower curtain from the 1st room and scared of the bugs from the 2nd room and just wanted to go home! We searched the room to kill the rest of the bugs, sprayed Lysol, showered again, then set the alarm to hit the road to return home by sunrise! Vowing never to stay there again!

Delightful hotel and cafe!
Pros:

Loved everything about this hotel! The staff were delightful - professional, but also warm and personable. One of the most comfortable beds and bedding I've ever slept on. I use a wheelchair and my accessible room was perfect, including a great walk in shower. The cafe is charming, had both drinks and breakfast there. Location is great. Highly recommend!

Nice room but dated and worn, cost too much for what it is.
Pros:

Quiet room and friendly staff

Cons:

Cost too much for what it is, beat up furniture and no coffee after 730am? Needs an overhaul for what they charge and they could put coffee in rooms with coffee hours of 530-730 am

Life Changing!! Never staying anywhere else in nyc
Pros:

OMG where to even begin - so first of all, I came in late night with a friend and Lee who is the coolest and sweetest greeted us with so much patience and compassion!! we came in kind of late but felt right at home. the room was gorgeous like STUNNING !!!! I grew up in LA and my studio is in dtla where I see a skyline all the time but when I tell you this is NOTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL THIS IS NEXT LEVEL!!

I’ve always wanted to stay at the standard bc when I was nyu it was so romantic and special to walk past- so I told myself when I had adult money ok boom I’ll stay there. I share this because my expectations where honestly pretty high, so and I tried to tell myself “ok calm down it might not be as special as it seems” but wow it completely surprised my wildest dreams bc the place is beautiful perfect clean gorg but also the staff really really made a huge impact - this is the ONLY HOTEL I EVER WANT TO STAY AT AGAIN WHEN I COME TO NYC

Kershel in the morning greeted me downstairs bc I ordered a tompkin sq bagel and she was so sweet full of suggestions and positivity ! I went back upstairs and there was a really sweet housekeeper (I didn’t catch her name) who spoke Russian? Shout out to her she was such a gem to chat with a made me sad to be checking out!!!

Phillip and Demarlo (sry if I spelled that wrong) and tati and myko all were so sweet too shout out. So sad I only spent one night there :(

Like I said - it’s the only place I’ll ever stay in NYC when I come back! I came for work, but I’ll be bringing my gf next time.

Ps it felt super safe for lgbtq

I’m obsessed and blown away with my experience!!!! Thank u standard!!!!

Gorgeous views, great staff ❤️
Pros:

I booked The Standard East Village since it’s located in my favorite NYC neighborhood, after carefully checking reviews and doing research on Downtown Manhattan hotels. I was in e-mail contact a few times prior to my arrival with the extremely service-minded and personal Lee Young, the guest experience manager. He accommodated my requests with such professionalism and great attitude. When I saw my room I was overjoyed; the view was to die for. I can highly recommend The Standard East Village. THANK YOU 🥰

I put my exec team in this hotel.
Lee and Myko were amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure my team’s entry was smooth; and their stay was comfortable and luxurious. And answered all my questions with such patience. Truly unexpected and great experience.

Review of the standard, specifically Lee
Pros:

Lee made our experience fantastic. He greeted us with a smile from the moment we arrived and consistently went above and beyond throughout our visit. He made sure we always had water, checked in on us regularly, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The experience would not have been the same without him. He’s an incredible employee, and we truly appreciate his outstanding service.

Amazing! Especially Lee at the receptionist desk!
Pros:

I absolutely love the standard at the east village, off of the bat when I checked in Lee at the receptionist desk immediately recognized me from over the phone when I made the reservation and over the course of the 10 days that I have been staying here he has consistently remembered my name as well as my boyfriend’s name and has been extremely attentive and extremely kind along with all of the other hotel staff, this is an amazing hotel and I am very blown away by the service and the atmosphere! And again Lee is amazing!

Best staff in the city!
Pros:

We stayed here to celebrate our engagement and could not have had a better experience. Lee, Myko, and Ahmad went out of their way to help coordinate a surprise with our friends and sent some lovely desserts and wine as a celebratory gift. 10/10 would recommend The Standard East Village, best team and hotel in the city.

Wonderful hotel and amazing staff!!
Pros:

Lee and his whole team were so accommodating, friendly and professional. The hotel was quiet and the beds were comfortable. They even provided bottles of water, which most hotels do not do anymore. The drinks at the bar were delicious and overall just an amazing stay. 10/10 would recommend to friends and family!

Stellar Customer Service & Friendly Vibes!!
Pros:

What a fabulous, friendly, comfortable and perfect way to spend our NYC “staycation” anniversary! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by name and given warm smiles. Everyone on the team, (Lee!!!!! Ahmad and Myko) was so accommodating. An anniversary treat was kindly brought to our room which was a great added touch. Conveniently located cafe downstairs which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Hotel also does early morning coffee in the lobby for those early risers. :) Overall stellar customer service and attentiveness! Thank you, STANDARD East Village !! We will see you again!
