The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon

Drie begraafplaatsen. Wie hier komt, heeft pech.

De prijs van dit hotel staat in geen verhouding tot de kwaliteit; het is gewoon een t****erangshotel. De kleuren van de inrichting zijn afschuwelijk, veel minder dan die van bekende hotels. De uniformen van het personeel zijn schreeuwerig en de service is ondermaats. De ontbijtkeuze is beperkt en er is niet eens een buffet; ik was het na een week zat. Dit was de eerste en laatste keer dat ik voor dit hotel koos – duur en vreselijk. 👎

De waterdruk in het hotel was onvoldoende! Ik verbleef in een hoekkamer met kingsize bed, wat meer dan 10.000 baht extra per nacht kostte! Er lag een extra laag dons onder de matras, geen echte stoffen hoes! Dus soms werd het erg warm, maar zonder deken was het ook erg koud! Het personeel begroette de gasten niet! Het hele hotel was lawaaierig en chaotisch. Het voelde als een hostel met gevoel voor design! Ik denk niet dat deze kwaliteit kwalificeert als een vijfsterrenhotel! Als je het beste hotel in Bangkok wilt, kies dan het Four Seasons of Capella Bangkok! De service daar is top. Als je niet weet hoe je bij het restaurant moet komen, zal het personeel je persoonlijk begeleiden. Maar dit hotel, dat beweert vijfsterren te zijn, is eigenlijk gewoon een marketingtruc. De foto's zijn overdreven, maar de service was verre van vijfsterren! De ligstoelen in de lobby zaten vol met zaden die niet waren schoongemaakt. Het zag er leuk uit om foto's te maken, maar het voelde alsof je moest betalen om foto's te maken, geen plek met goede service. Ik zou aanraden dat als je een vijfsterrenhotel wilt, er betere opties zijn.

We stayed in this hotel 2 years ago which had great experiences. Same as last time , we stayed at deluxe king bedroom. After we checked in and got the room, we have waited 20 mins still doesnt have anyone send us back out suitcase . So i have called to reception to follow up and it took another 10 mins before we actually got the suitcase. The room was good , clean, well prepared a small cake to surprise us as anniversary. Amenities could have extra toilet roll and tissue box as backup. When we called for amenities, it took quite a long time to send to us. Front desk staff wasn’t as friendly as before and we don’t feel the welcome and warmness like last time we had stayed. Even when we check out , the girl was really robotic, and her eye was just focus on her computer screen while saying goodbye to us. Gym was still one of the best gym for hotel fitness facilities. Breakfast menu was pretty much the same, didn’t change at all . It was reasonable . Staff in restaurant also not as friendly as before. There were few new staffs ( i guess )which hard to communicate and not proactive at all. Overall , hotel hardware was good , location was good , but professionalism from the staff needs to improve and maintain.

This was my second chance of redemption visit to The Standard hotel. The aesthetics and friendly staff here are what made this visit OK! But compared to other 5* hotels in Bkk this is missing some service touches. No welcome drink/room gift, no one by the pool with free water unless you order something from the bar and then they bring water... Makes the experience feel budget star. 4 bottles of comp water in the room is not enough once you use two bottles to make coffee, a preference on coffee capsules would have been nice... I didn't think to request in advance all decaf. There was also no milk to go in the coffee. I didn't want to go through the efforts to request more as I was busy. The hotel music is somewhat better than others but does feel like ai sludge after a day of sitting poolside. The pool felt uncomfortably busy at late afternoon sunset hours. If you want to tick this hotel off your list 1-2 nights is enough, the beds are super comfy, although mine squeaked sometimes, and the linen was top quality, as we're the super fluffy soft bathroom towels -then nicest I've felt in a long time! The nearby soy silom 5 market is a delight but closes by 2pm!

Staff are v welcoming. At the counter, they address you by your name. Welcome mocktail & cocktail was great. Check in was pleasant and smooth. Room was very clean. I didn’t find any issues. No smell and no mold in toilet. Room layout and design was well planned hence they maximise the small space. Love the design of the space. It’s quite upscale and artsy. Free entry to 78th floor after 7pm. We can even redeem a ticket for every night though we only went up once. View was amazing. I have zero complaints. I can see the team put in effort and they care for the guests. Would consider staying again. Thank you The Standard team!!!

Good location and decent view, bit loud though. The tall fat room service guy was definitely stealing pastries from our room service orders as we only got one of everything when he delivered but two of everything when other people delivered

Really impressed with this hotel. The architecture and interior design are stunning, and they’ve nailed the finer details. Everything was exceptionally clean. The bathroom was a massive highlight especially the bathtub, which actually had plenty of space for two people (a rare find!). Room service was quick and efficient, and being so centrally located made getting around via Grab incredibly easy. Would absolutely stay here again.

Amazing room and F&B! The sky beach on the top of the building is a must visit!
