Manhattan Hotel Bangkok

They were an hour late giving me a room for check in so they gave me a late checkout which was nice of them…. But yeah… the room was even more of a death trap than the first room I had booked but the location was too good so I stayed again. Haha. Not for the unbalanced or dopey… those floorboards will have you tripping everywhere!!!!

It was good to Visit Thailand for the first time.

Great convenient location a block off bustling Sukumvitt.

Overall, this is a nice hotel located in a lively area, and the rooms are both clean and comfortable. A thoughtful touch is the inclusion of an umbrella in the room, which is handy if you need it. The room service was satisfactory for my needs. However, the biggest drawback is the subpar service. The staff generally seemed unfriendly and rarely smiled. One incident stood out in particular involving a staff member named 'Bing' (according to him, though he wasn't wearing a nametag). He shouted at me aggressively as I was about to enter the lift, calling out, 'Hello, you come over here.' When I clarified if he was speaking to me, he sternly replied, 'Yes, you.' His tone was unnecessarily harsh, especially as I was a calm and respectful guest. While I understand he may have been doing his job, his manner felt more like an interrogation than hospitality. It was embarrassing and brought shame to me and my friend and felt completely uncalled for. I don’t expect staff to always smile—I know the job can be tiring—but a polite tone should still be maintained. After all, I was a guest and in no way acting out of line or showing aggression. Totally ruined my experience. The check-in process was also quite slow, and I found the 1,000 baht deposit requirement to be unnecessary. There were a few other minor issues: no toothbrushes were provided, the shower gel wasn’t refilled when used up, and the shower temperature was difficult to regulate, staying more on the hot side. Additionally, the lifts were slow and the buttons seemed poorly maintained. Despite these shortcomings, the hotel’s location and amenities are excellent. I would recommend it for those reasons, though be prepared for a less-than-welcoming reception experience. That said, the housekeeping and breakfast staff were much friendlier, greeting guests with a smile and a warm 'good morning,' which made for a pleasant contrast.

My second visit. The biggest problem with this hotel is the flooring inside the rooms. The flooring tiles are not levelled and some splinters even popped out. Be sure to wear your shoes while walking inside your room for safety. Otherwise the location is awesome and service staffs are friendly and efficient.

Frankly speaking stayed here for 3 nights recommended by a friend. First off the hotel is as old as it gets 60 years . Lobby is ok and the location is what draws people to it. Only 2 lift which is absolutely small and cramped and takes so long. There is no staircase coz they are doing renovations. What if there is an emergency!  Room is so so crowded only. Breakfast has nothing much to offer not even brown sugar for the coffee. Too many groups of Indians , Koreans and Chinese nationals. Ain’t gonna stay here again
