The Standard Downtown LA - Los Angeles

Great trendy hotel, very posh and comfortable at the same time. Parking can be a bit of a tricky spot, but plenty of places to lounge around and have a drink and its surrounded by a few good eateries. Great staff. Very satisfied. Price is a bit much, but then again, its Downtown LA.

A bit modern/hip/trendy/weird...but I like it. It's a great location downtown with lots of restaurants and things to do nearby. The rooftop bar was awesome, great view of the city. The rooms were nice, clean, love the platform beds. However, in our room there was no option to have privacy in the shower. There was a curtain so you couldn't see the toilet […] from the bed but there was no way to not see someone if they were showering. Other rooms had a curtain for the shower and a separate room for the toilet but this could be an issue for someone. Overall, we would stay there again and recommend it but would give people a heads up. Read more

for a high end hotel, no tubs in the rooms, charged to use the "business center", not a good business practice.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The staff was excellent, room was clean very nice.

The bed in the rooms is too soft, almost feels like a "hamaca". The valet parking is too expensive, over $30 per day!!!

Although the room was not much more than a cheeky dorm room, the rooftop lounge, bar and pool is not to be missed. Try to find a rate bargain then don your suit and head to the roof!

room not great. needs modern chair. bathroom layout very disfunctional, no place for toiletries, no towel racks. Roof top bar uses plastic cups for expenive cocktails, not great. Staff was friendly, helpful. Coffee is resturant is great. If you want modern and functional, go elsewhere.

Excellent hotel!! Had a very pleasant stay. Rooms are very well decorated, very nice staff, and awesome facilities!! Thanks a million!! Keep up the great service!

The hotel is nice. And it's located near some really good bars and restaurants. And the metro station is like half a block away. My gripe isn't that the hotel was bad. Because it was a nice hotel. It's that we got rooms so we can get guaranteed access to the roof top lounge. Which, judging by how hard it is to get in, we thought would be amazing. It […] wasn't. The music was awful: I get that the DJ was trying to take us on a nostalgic ride. And maybe he was catering to the older Europeans that were patrons of the hotel. Or maybe he was just clueless. I don't know. I was so bored I couldn't even drink. The lounge was at half capacity, and there was not that many women. And there were ALOT of men. We've stood in that line before (on another occasion) only to be turned away. We thought, man this place must be that good if they can turn people away. And they must have hella girls. I really wish this were the case. The few women that were there, had several guys already rapping to them. And well, the place was filled with couples of all sorts. We went to the bar. I felt it was a bit pricey. But its GNO who cares right? I'll get back to this later. The pool was cloudy. I was hoping to take a dip but I was dissuaded by the density of the water. Saw a little girl swimming in it. I hope she doesn't develop super powers. But I tell you what, The view is sexy. I took pictures. Super nice. Nearby there was a Beer Garden. It was actually really nice. It had that beer festival feel to it: you had to buy tickets at eight bucks a pop. Each item was one ticket. 2 beers and a bratwurst were 3 tickets which was twenty four smackers. Kind of steep (add tip and its like... dang). But is a better value than drinking at the pool bar. Where I paid eight bucks for a stella on draft that was served in a 14 oz plastic cup. The beer garden gave you a 20 oz glass of your choice of licher hef, pilsner or IPA. Which were pretty tasty. So my friends and I drank at the garden. Then left to d Read more

This is an old hotel where they have made superficial changes to make it seem modern. The bathroom was old, and felt dirty. The toilet did not work, and the shower dripped all night. Even after I reported the bathroom problems, they were not fixed, and I was unable to sleep. Additionally, the hotel was not willing to work with me to reserve table service […] at the bar for my friends, who I was in town visiting. Read more

every time the water ran it smelled lie sewer. i mentioned this to the hotel and they didnt do anything about it. the hotel is old and beat. much newer and better hotels around the surroundings for cheaper.

My recent trip at the Standard at DTLA was truly exceptional. I'll admit, I was a little wary of what the scene and the service there would be like after reading some of the reviews, but luckily all of the staff that I encountered were amazing! From the valets to the concierge, to the rooftop bartender--everyone had a refreshing upbeat personality and […] were incredibly accommodating. The roof was phenomenal--day and night!!! The location of the hotel was prime, neighboring tons of trendy bars and restaurants. My boyfriend and I stayed in the medium size room, and there was plenty of space even when our friends came to visit at night. Overall, loved staying here. Will definitely stay here again!! Highly recommended for young 20somethings! Read more

Have stayed here a few times, and it still annoys me that despite being a hotel guest, I have to pay for parking. This isn't New York City, where space is super limited. I think The Standard should comp parking for hotel guests.

We had an AMAZING stay at the hotel. Came to stay one night, with an open ended night for the next day. Within one hour at the hotel decided to book the next night here. Where else could possibly be better? After 5 nights of travel,the answer was nowhere, and we came from the spas of desert hot springs. I had the rooftop pool to myself for about an […] hour at around 11 am, and it was a transcending experience . The customer service was excellent! The beir garden was really great, yummy brats, greet beer, great service. We made sure to stay away of the nightclub atmosphere after 8pm. A personal preference, but as we stayed on the 11th floor, the noise did not affect in any way, which was a concern.NO ONE acted upity in any way, which was a concern, from the valets to the bartenders up top. Zero complaints. Read more

Awesome staff...they were friendly and very helpful....had a difficult time finding valet when I first arrived but was fine once we found it....great hotel!

smokey -- even though i asked for NON SMOKING

I BOOKED THE HOTEL ROOM THROUGH HOTELS.COM AND WHEN I ARRIVED THE INFO WAS NOT RECEIVED AT THE STANDARD. THE HOTEL STAFF WAS NOT VERY KIND OR HELPFUL AT ALL WHEN TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. NO OTHER FAX MACHINES WERE CHECK AND SUPERVISION WAS NOT NOTIFIED. ALL I DEALT WITH WAS ATTITUDE BOTH TIMES I TRIED TO CHECK IN. I'VE STAYED AT THIS HOTEL […] BEFORE AND I LIKE THE LOCATION AND ATMOSPHERE BUT THIS IS MAKING ME CONSIDER BOOKING THERE AGAIN. Read more

Very modern looking and the rooms were awesome. We wished we had more than one night here.

We had meetings all over town for five days and the Standard was a perfect base. Only one minor hiccup...if you have difficulty standing up from low places, remember that the beds are very low. Beautiful. Km

Overall the hotel is fine. It appears that hotel is more catered to being a hangout spot than anything else. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against it, but the hotel attracts many people that are not guests and it limits the use of things to people who are ACTUALLYPAYING to stay there. The room was fine and the hotel has a minimalist theme. I prefer […] a room having extras than minimal things. The biggest issue I have is with the bathroom. The shower is has a glass wall facing the room, so there is no privacy and only a curtain separates the toilet bowl. I wasn't a fan of that if there is more than one person in the room. It was about a 15-20 min walk to the Convention Center and certainly not steps away. This is not the hotel's fault, but probaby more the State of California's is the large amount of homeless people in the area. The streets are very quiet at night and it felt a little odd even for a person from NYC. That says a lot. Read more

Incredible room, super fun, sexy, and modern. Great restaurant and roof top bar. Go late at night for the best crowd.

We were very unhappy with our stay at The Standard Downtown LA. We chose this hotel since it was few blocks away from a wedding we were attending. We arrived at the hotel at 3:45pm, thinking we would quickly get our room since check in was at 3:00pm. We were told the room wasn't ready and they would page us when it was. This made us feel rushed since […] we still needed to get ready and the weeding was taking place at 6:00pm. We finally got our room around 4:15pm and were disappointed when we saw it. It was a handicapped room that didn't have a bath, just a bench. We felt this could have been mentioned upon checking in. For the price of this hotel room it would have been nice to enjoy it rather than feeling that we had to settle. When showering water drained over the entire tile floor of the bathroom which was unpleasant and messy. We are also found it crazy that we were charged after checking out a fee for taking the provided shower gel and lotion from the bathroom. These are travel size items for the guest to use. We didn't think the hotel would want these used items but we did get charged for them Felt as though this hotel is nothing more than a glorified Motel 6. Read more

Loved the decor and the restaurant's. Unfortunately The Shop didn't really have anything I wanted to buy. I was looking foreword to buying something there. I asked for a smoking room and got a non-smoking. I was charged $50 dollars for using the room phone. I loved the roof top pool and bar area very very cute! I Would stay there again.

Our stay at The Standard was wonderful. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. We had reserved a "Huge" room and were upgraded to a "Wow" room, and the room was fabulous and very spacious. Would stay here again next time I am in Los Angeles.

I Loved this hotel for the most part. I travel often so I consider myself to be very critical on the places I stay. The only thing I didnt like was the white tiles in my bathroom. They collect dirt and build up in the grout and because of that need cleaning. I could see the black build up in the grout. The pool is amazing and the best part about this […] hotel is that it is 2 blocks from the LA Underground metro which takes you all over LA and surrounding areas. If you are planning a trip to Universal Studios the metro will take you to The Universal City Walk which is right by Universal Studios. You can also take the Metro all over Hollywood for sight seeing. I will say on weekends (Friday & Saturday) this is a young person hot spot and if you are looking for a good environment for young kids choose another hotel in the vicinity. Read more

My wife and I stayed on a Saturday night. Be warned! As cool and fun as this hotel is, it attracts a very young and hip crowd who like to stay up and howl at the moon. The hotel staff will help you out, but who wants to call the front desk on their noisy neighbors? If you're young and hip and want to stay up all night, this is the hotel for you. As […] for my wife and I, you'll find us down at the Ritz from here on out! :) Read more

great atmosphere but lacks music, must music was making me relax and sleep, there should have been more alive and moving music to dance to but besides that this hotel is great

We stayed at this hotel to avoid having to drive after seeing INXS in concert at the Wiltern. What a great experience! The pool scene was cool - the room was clean & comfortable with a modern feel. The after hours dancing on the rooftop was great too! As hotel guests we got wristbands allowing us right in - to the front of a very long line of people […] wanting to party & dance. Very cool! I will recommend this place to all my frinds!! Read more

Hotel is in a good location; however, service is focused more on the party scene in restaurant and bars. Room was large but the "mod" decor was not very appealing or comfortable. Fitness room was extremely dark and dated-- with life size photo of naked women on bikes covering an entire wall.

While this hotel is very stylish, it's not very comfy for two people sharing a room. The shower is glass overlooking the bed, so if you're shy about that, avoid this place. There is also only one chair, no place to sit except on the bed platform, and the tv is so low it's hard to watch from the bed. It was clean, but seemed to have seen better days. […] The sink was chipped and the surrounding tile grout looked old. Rooftop pool and bar were both nice, but not worth staying at the hotel just to get there. Read more

Room was not worth the money. No towels (had to call for them). No trash can in bathroom. Trouble beds! Too art deco!

Great hotel, the room was spacious and well laid out, the staff were very helpful and friendly. Service was quick and efficient. The rooftop lounge and pool area was a lot of fun, pool was clean and well maintained.

Very unique artsy hotel. As the desk said we are not a cookie cutter hotel. Dont look for comfortable rooms low platform bed and 2 plastic chairs and see through shower. Rooms on the parking lotside are very noisy since alternative music is played in the outside restaurant untill 1:30. Roof bar is a hot spot and when the guest leave at 1:30 very noisy. Service […] very good but its for the alternative hip and young crowd. Read more
