This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Thank you so much for this one. I renembered the review and finally I went to Bangkok. Decided to stay one night only but what a stay it was! No problem with gnats or any other insects now. The theme is over the top and so well executed throughout the hotel.

We went to the rooftop after celebrating two birthdays at The Ojo restaurant. Starters and drinks was top notch and mains was well above expectations, I’d say.

I read other reviews complaining about old robes in the rooms, and i can confirm they were the only setback I noticed. I didn’t look for problems and didn’t find them either. And the view from 16th floor … impressive! Fell asleep while looking out and woke up as the sun rised.

All in all a fantastic stay! Thanks to you and this channel!

Love your Bangkok Series, it has something different to it.

[denisesommer-roque]

I have to admit that this is not a place I would choose to stay (I guess it makes me feel old and boring) but I loved this review, because the place is so different! When you were filming the hallways, I immediately got “Catch me if you can” vibes, so it was nice to hear the background story about the TWA hotel, even though the movie was about Pan Am, but from the same era. Loved the Chinese restaurant, I think that would make me visit this hotel just to eat at that place, I think it looked beautiful! Thank you for the wonderful video, entertaining, surprising and different!

Great channel always enjoy the content. Would love to see some Hong Kong hotel reviews when ever you go out that way or Rosewood hotels.

[Capo]

A nice review, again. 👍 A modern colourful hotel, but not my cup of tea though. Some venues were still very nice. Truly impressive views on top. Thank U 4 sharing ✌️

[azjad]

Hi kevin, i love your reviews. Can we have a segment where we request u to review certain hotels?

[tvtriviachampion]

Great review as always. I stayed there in late 2023 and enjoyed it. No insects 🐞 so it may have been seasonal. Corridors remind me of a Carnival cruise ship (that’s a dig) but the rooms are cool. Bath has side faucets allowing to people to occupy without either getting a faucet behind their head. The diner style seating in the rooms is good for eating and bad for relaxing. A comfy couch would have been an improvement. Food at the grill is excellent.

Very interesting brand which I never knew existed till this point and definitely a place I would like to stay. That said... I agree with your comment about the halls. One worrisome point however is the sewer smell which usually is a sign that one of the drains is not correctly sealed or with a proper u-joint under each drain. While turning on a ceiling vent might help a bit the gasses are still likely coming into the room. Anyway... I hope they can get that fixed. Also... you peaked my curiosity with respect to an Accor Orient Express brand. Can't wait to see what that might be!

Great review! I have been wanting to check this hotel out as I have stayed at The Standard in Hua Hin which I really liked. This one seems like a good choice for the trendy Instagram crowd. Pool was a little smaller than I was hoping for but it looks like a good choice if you want that high rise city vibe. Have been to the rooftop bar 3 times and never seen any gnats so maybe it is a September thing with the rain.

[vinnupooh]

Loved the customisation My name is upside down but not Kevin similar to Standard Gym, don't know how many people noticed it😅. The gnats reminded me of pixies of Harry Potter🤣. Christmas is coming soon and I want to reread Harry Potter books!

I am really enjoying your content (although the disclaimer all about self funding, not sponsored totally honest opinion could be shortened to just 5 seconds disclaimer). I am literally obsessed with your channel. Which out of the two Kempinski properties in Bangkok will be reviewed on the next video?

[juliohrndez]

I think I’ve seen this video and your Kimpton Maa-Lai video 5 times each because I’m so undecided on which one to go to at the end of the year. I know you’ll choose Kimpton all day long but something about this hotel is calling to me to check it out in person lol

[beyondmoneybusiness]

looks good, I like something a bit different as I am bored with the chain hotels. Thank you

[randyc]

Gyms are more important than big brands understand. That was a good one.

[fanyang]

just noticed from your video that a lot of the rooms are facing the BTS station ChongNongsi. Is there any noice from the BTS station especially when the trains are pulling in?

[A_Flyer]

I am in Bangkok for 10 days in June, and I am debating to stay in either the standard or the Kimpton. I notice you have stayed in both, is there a preference from you? I love the look of both honestly. Did the pools at either hotel get too busy?

[calumsowhat]

I've booked two nights here in October for a solo trip after a work trip to Singapore, but I'm starting to worry it might feel too intimate or romantic, especially since my family will be at home. This will be my first "mini-holiday" before I fly back to the UK. Are you a solo traveler? Did you feel awkward at all? I'm planning to enjoy a swim, a few beers and cocktails, and dinner.

The Standard Bangkok looks very cool and hip, but I'm wondering if it might be more suited for couples? My concern is that I might feel out of place compared to staying at a bigger hotel where it's less intimate and you can blend in more easily. Would one of the Kimpton Hotels be a better option for a solo traveler like me?

[lombokpropertyinvestmentlo]

What type of phone do use to record your videos and do you use a gimble?

[Sturussia]

KEVIN, I watch my videos on my TV and since YouTube is still so lacking in showing what's below the video or comments or being able to add a comment...please add the room price in the body of the video...keep up the good work...looking forward to the Kempinsky video.

I like trek trendy and jeb brooks. I think they are authentic review channels, like yours
