I loved The Standard when I last stayed there, shortly after it had opened. And while I've eaten and drunk at its restaurants since, I only recently returned as a hotel guest. I was pretty disappointed if I'm honest. The bedrooms haven't aged well, and are in need of a remodel. Paintwork is looking pretty poor, peeling in places. Soft furnishings could do with a refresh. The overall design and aesthetic of the rooms is still great - they're not huge but they are carefully and stylishly designed. They just need a bit of TLC. That said, the bed is insanely comfortable.

Hotel also messed up my check-out and bill, which I'm still struggling to get fixed. So overall, probably won't rush back.
