The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon

I wanted to try a new stay to compare from my usual preferred hotel in Bangkok. I was pleasantly surprised by The Standard. The design is very colorful and playful with great attention to details like the fun door signs and even the fragile stickers they used for my luggage. The room is very spacious with a big shower area and bathtub. Toilets are modern Toto style and I appreciated that there was less carpet use in the room. Front desk and staff attending to communications via WhatsApp were helpful and responsive. My favorite was the gym which was complete and there was even an outdoor space where I was able to set up my circuit training. Food was ok but I was also able to order and enjoy grab food deliveries to try all the yummy vegan options in Bangkok. You can easily get around via BTS skytrain or Grab car. Icon Siam is about 20-45 minutes away depending on traffic. As a guest you get discount and access coupons to go up to the Sky bar with amazing views of the city! A must-do if you want the best panoramic views of the city! The hotel is hip and nice to try for a different vibe but I will probably stick to my usual place for the best service and value for money.

Walking distance to BTS and restaurants, very good service.

Overall a very enjoyable stay. Rooms were huge and clean, the only complaint is the pillows were too soft even when stacked.

I booked Suite Spot room to celebrate my birthday but it seemed like it got overbooked. They were to upgraded me to other rooms which ended up to be their penthouse. It was an amazing stay. And their service was just through the roof. Still, I’d want to go back for Suite Spot. Until next time ka!

Repeat visit but the breakfast from 2022 was way better ;( I miss the crab omelette and others so so much! Service wise it’s always great tho some small mishaps but service recovery was appreciated. The oven grilled bacon still the best! Pancakes and yaki soba can skip 🥲 They serve hands down the best Bircher muesli too! Glad it’s still there hahaha Their gym was more beautiful than prev~ more bright too.

Great stay. Breakfast was à la carte and good but a bit more variety would be great for stays of 5 days and more. Bread / toast / baguette’s would be welcome on the buffet. Rooms great and well cleaned. The pool is great yet they could improve a bit the pool bar (both in terms of cleaniness and menu)
