The hype
Travelers love the vibe, the staff, and the breakfast, but often note the rooms feel a bit 'worn' and the style is choosing fashion over function.
W Bangkok
$160-250/ nuit
Réservez si You want a high-energy base in Sathorn where the breakfast buffet is a feast and the design screams 'party' before you even drop your bags.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The House on Sathorn – a stunning colonial mansion right next door for upscale dining
- Epic breakfast buffet at The Kitchen Table with free-flow juices and massive variety
- Proximity to BTS Chong Nonsi makes escaping Bangkok traffic slightly easier
En bref : It’s a decade-old party hotel that’s starting to show its age with scuffed furniture and a pool that's more for Instagram than swimming.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'party' vibe means you might hear bass from the Woobar on lower floors, and the sequined boxing glove pillows on the bed have seen better days.
- You are a couple who enjoys an open-plan, somewhat exhibitionist room layout
- You prioritize a massive, high-quality breakfast spread over a quiet morning
- You want to be in the business district but still feel like you're at a club
Propreté et entretien
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, though some guests report missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but the design (lots of glass/mirrors) shows smudges easily.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Expect some scuffed furniture, peeling paint on baseboards, or worn carpets in hallways.
- Linens & towels: Standard W quality—good, but check the decorative pillows (boxing gloves) before snuggling.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of the signature W perfume; rooms are generally fresh but can smell musty if AC isn't running.

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the pool big enough for laps?
No. It is an 'eye-shaped' plunge pool designed for socializing and photos, not exercise.
Can I walk to the BTS station?
Yes, Chong Nonsi BTS station is about a 3-5 minute walk via a connected walkway.
Is the area walkable?
Sort of. It's a business district, so sidewalks are busy, but you can walk to Mahanakhon CUBE for food easily.
How much is the breakfast?
Around 900 THB (~$28 USD) per person if not included in your rate, but widely considered worth it.
Is it good for families?
Not really. The vibe is adult/party, and the room layout with glass bathrooms is tricky for families with older kids.
Is there a dress code?
Casual chic. You can wear shorts, but you'll feel out of place in tank tops at the evening venues.

5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Peekaboo' Shower: The glass wall between the shower and bedroom is either clear or lightly tinted, offering zero visual privacy.
💡The Sequined Gloves: The iconic boxing glove pillows on the bed are often missing sequins or feel a bit 'grimy' from years of use.
💡Elevator Waits: With only 4 elevators for 31 floors, you will wait during peak times (morning/evening).
💡The BTS Rumble: You can physically feel/hear the Skytrain passing if you are on a lower floor facing the tracks.
💡Laggy Tech: The room control tablets are often slow or unresponsive, making turning off the lights a mini-adventure.
