JC Kevin Sathorn Bangkok Hotel

Apekshya Singha

Unfortunately, our experience at JC Kevin was quite disappointing due to poor management. Only 2 lifts were working in a high-rise hotel, resulting in long waiting lines and massive delays every single day. For a 5-star hotel, this kind of mismanagement is unacceptable it felt more like a budget property in that regard. However, I want to clearly say this....the staff were absolutely amazing. From reception to housekeeping, everyone was kind, hardworking, and helpful despite the lack of support from upper management. They’re doing their best under pressure, and they deserve 5 stars alone. Its sad to see such great employees being let down by poor leadership. Fix the facilities, support your staff better, and maybe this hotel can live up to its stars.

Faded Glory – 5 Stars? Nah! I'll be honest. A two-bedroom apartment, 120 m² with a sky view for around €700 for 6 nights during low season – that’s not expensive for a capital city. But the reason for the relatively low price becomes clear quite quickly. The lobby is beautiful, with high ceilings and a lovely scent when you walk in. However, the elevator is very slow, because one of them hasn’t been working for months, and with only two elevators active in a 38-floor building with many rooms, it can take up to 15 minutes to get up or down. In the apartment, there’s no kitchenware – no plates, no cutlery, nothing! No microwave, just a well-functioning fridge. No coffee machine, and not even a spoon to stir your tea. 🤷🏼‍♀️ They advertise a sky bar with a DJ and cocktails on the top floor – but when we arrived on a Friday night, there was maintenance going on?! There’s a very small balcony compared to the size of the building, with a beautiful city view – but the drinks are expensive, and there was no DJ, even though it’s clearly advertised downstairs near the elevator. The “two-bedroom apartment” itself is nice, with comfortable beds and a cozy living room that has two balconies. It’s very well insulated and almost completely silent from other guests. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. But the place is clearly in need of renovation – which is underway. Still, these issues do make it feel a bit like a “cat in the bag” situation. We had a good time here, but it’s located on a very busy road that’s nearly always jammed. If you want to get to a shopping mall, it can take 45 minutes by taxi or train. It’s in the “Wall Street” of Bangkok – a fun area to explore, but keep the downsides in mind

This is a very good property. First it’s an 18 year old 5 star. It’s very nice, but needs a little updating. Bed extremely comfortable. Gym excellent. Room is extremely quiet, which are all impotent to me. Breakfast good. Wish they had French Toast. Location is about a 10 minute walk from The BTS. One of the main elevators or lift was out my entire stay.

Everything about this place is just about OK. I well believe once upon a time it deserved its star rating but now everything is just tires and worn, functional but very worn. It was clean and tidy but so many bits of trim, skirting, flooring by the pool were all falling off or poorly repaired. It's a shame as the staff were attentive and helpful breakfast was good but the street food next door was amazing.

The staff are very helpful and go above and beyond to help with anything you ask. Our first room was a little outdated and cleanliness could have been better. I mentioned this to reception and a very little fee we paid and moved up to an apartment. Being an apart should have cooking facilities, kitchen utensils and washing machine as not all families want to eat out all the time. If we come back to Bangkok we would stay there again.
