The StandardX Hotel has it all—modern facilities with a playful mid-century pop aesthetic, a convenient location next to the 96 tram stop and Rose Street Makers Market, and a fantastic rooftop with incredible city views. The pet-friendly accommodations were perfect for our Samoyed, and the service was absolutely stellar.

While The StandardX is amazing overall, there are a few quirks worth noting. The bathroom is separated from the room by a transparent glass feature, so privacy goes out the window if you’re staying with friends. Also, the shower design isn’t the best—water seeps out onto the rest of the bathroom floor, soaking the bath mat. Another surprise was discovering that the gym is actually Snap Fitness next door, which you can only access by borrowing a key fob from the front counter—something the hotel didn’t communicate clearly beforehand. Lastly, the drinks and snacks in the hotel’s mini shop were pretty limited, which was a bit disappointing.

Cool design, very modern. Bed was sooooo comfy. So many hangers provided for clothes which was nice! Location was easy enough to get to, and especially on the weekends with the flea markets right at your doorstep. The mini bar in the lobby was cool and had a good selection, not too over priced either. The rooftop bar was cosy and nice! Drinks were pretty good too!

The tv barely had anything on, no netflix or anything. We struggled to cast apple devices on the tv from our phones.. nothing to watch. Housekeeping wasn’t fantastic.. at one point we found some of our clothes stashed underneath the pillows?? Not an issue but.. strange. Sometimes the tea bags were not refilled. Not a huge problem though.

Beautiful Roof top balcony with a bar, which is only available to guests. Spacious rooms and big comfy beds and blankets with plenty of storage/moving space and natural light. Big tv with streaming capabilities. Super quiet, never heard the neighboring guests. Plenty of good breakfast lunch and dinner options in the area, with particularly good coffee and pastry options. Two tram lines that connect seamlessly with the express trams servicing the AusGP track.

Pillows were fluffy but full of air. kept waking up throughout the night due to uncomfortable feeling from the deflated pillows, even after stacking two pillows for more stability/structure

Location is amazing! It is very close to where my family live, but access to everything is perfect. The foyer and lounge spaces are welcoming and comfortable and a great space to have a drink in the evening. It was my birthday and i appreciated the note and treats left in the room by the hotel staff. Communication regarding a voucher my daughter arranged was clear and a lovely surprise. Rooftop view was lovely and a great space to relax as well. Breakfast was delicious and service very efficient and friendly.

I think the rooftop could be staffed to some degree, even if it is not in service until the weekend. It had been raining and everything was wet and remained so for a day at least. The furniture and seating could have been dried perhaps? There were also glasses and dishes left by guests who had used the space and enjoyed the view, but again, it looked very messy and not what you'd expect given the high standard of presentation of all other spaces in the hotel.

Well located in Fitzroy (great neighbourhood) so many amazing restaurants and shops nearby Tram station about 2 mins away Beautiful hotel, well decorated is an understatement The room is great and has so many nice additions (you can open the window! Portable speaker, dressing gowns, etc) Lovely lobby with comfortable and calm places to sit The rooftop is amazing for sunset views Kind staff, receptionist switched rooms around so we could check in 2 hrs early Late check out of 12pm Would without a doubt stay here again.

It’s true that the bathrooms are frosted glass walls & door. Not an issue for us as a couple but could be problematic in other situations

We loved so many things about staying here! Great value for money. The rooftop is awesome. You can bring your own food and drinks, it’s beautifully decked out with a great view of Fitzroy and the city. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The room was modern and the bed was comfortable with nice linen and pillows. The location is great! Definitely recommend staying in Fitzroy and the hotel is perfectly positioned close to all the restaurants, bars and transport. There’s also cheap places to park right outside the hotel. They have a 24/7 little bottle shop that you can help yourself to and great restaurant downstairs. Have already recommended staying here to friends. We loved it.

Everything was thought through, it was peaceful yet vibey, amazingly decorated, and everyone there was so helpful, without being intrusive. The rooms were quiet and so comfy, the bathrooms were great, and the coffee/drinks set up in the room was super appreciated - having your own French press has really set standards high for the future. The roof was an added bonus, and the location was excellent - quiet but close to everything!

I can imagine if you were more than one person the bathroom might not feel super private for ‘some’ situations, but otherwise, no complaints!

Loved the hotel interior and the room was very comfortable. We had a balcony room which was great for us. We had been away for 4 weeks and a lot of bags, and very glad we picked this room as I believe most of the other rooms are much smaller. Staff were exceptional.

There aren't many/any facilities e.g. gym, spa or pool, but I did know this upon booking. There is a roof top which is beautiful, but other than that, the hotel doesn't really have any facilities on site that you would expect from a 5* hotel. However this didn't bother us too much as there are good local fitness studios.

The whole experience was lovely! From the pre arrival check in to the very last day i had such a great experience. Everyone was super lovely, the hotel and facilities were brand new and hip and cool and unique. Both functional and aesthetic. Wld definitely go back for another visit!

Training the night shift front desk staff better. I had called up one night asking for the 24hr Room service and was told by him that there was no food at all, only to be notified by the day shift staff that was not true. Another night I asked another enquiry regarding hotel facilities and he could not give me an answer asking me to ask front desk in the morning.

the room was lovely and quirky, the staff were so friendly, helpful and prompt/quick. the restaurant within the hotel downstairs was delicious and extended to the room service (which we ordered for the first time ever). loved the location, the ease of everything - such good value for money.

this might be very particular and is also common in hotels/accommodation but my partner and I didnt like the pillows - they werent really supportive (i know, clutching at straws). and there wasnt a table and chair in the room but this could be because of the room I booked. these are really little things that didnt negatively impact our stay really.
