tylero2013 Couples - TripAdvisor review

This might be the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The client service, location and amenities (pool, restaurant and gym) are top notch. If we are in Bangkok again we won’t need to look for another hotel, this is the one to be at. The breakfast can’t be beat.

Mediocre, Noisy, 3 stars at best

ZNeuillysurSeine Couples - TripAdvisor review

As frequent travelers to Bangkok, we wanted to try the SO. Unfortunately, it turned out to be on the same level as an Ibis in the Accor range—total disappointment. We stayed in a room on the 14th floor, and to be clear, this is not a 5-star hotel—3 stars at best. Other reviews mention a “home away from home” or an “incredible hotel”—are we even talking about the same place? Our room was directly above a busy boulevard, making it feel like trying to sleep on a highway with constant car noise. In fact, a budget motel would likely have better soundproofing than the SO Bangkok. We were lucky enough to change rooms, but the reception staff was not particularly welcoming, even somewhat cold. For our second night, we moved to a room on the 22nd floor facing the park. The result? No difference. The decor is outdated, straight out of the 70s, and poorly maintained in both rooms (see photos). Avoid this hotel if you value a quiet night’s sleep or expect modern amenities. When we raised the issue with the front desk, they simply told us that noise is “normal in a big city.” If that’s the case, maybe SO Bangkok should display this as their motto: • At SO Bangkok, noise is normal. • At SO Bangkok, deterioration is normal. • At SO Bangkok, everything we dislike is simply “normal.” The bedding: Hard, back pain in the morning. The Pool: The water is freezing, which conveniently keeps the pool empty—great for photos, at least. But the sound of cars and motorcycles completely drowns out the poolside music. The rooftop bar (not Cassette) : It’s an old people’s bar. No particular atmosphere. Club La Cassette (on rooftop) In reality, it is not part of the hotel; it is a Thai club “reserved for Thais.” We attempted to enter while a live Thai concert was taking place. Non-English-speaking staff simply responded with a firm “no.” Seeking clarification, we went to the lobby, where even the hotel staff seemed surprised. They assured us that a table was waiting for us and advised us to return. However, upon reaching the entrance once again, the same situation unfolded—entry was denied, as the venue was not part of the hotel. Why, then, is it advertised everywhere—in the hotel’s brochures, promotional materials, and even on the in-room television presentation—as if it were part of the hotel, when it clearly is not? Surreal ! That seems to be the real theme of this hotel.

As a loyal Accor member for a decade, I’ve always enjoyed my stays at SO/ Sofitel. The newly renovated lobby adds a fresh and inviting atmosphere. However, the room I stayed in could use some upgrades—the tap was loose, and the furniture felt a bit old. That said, I absolutely loved the bed! It was spacious, cozy, and incredibly comfortable, making for a truly restful night’s sleep.

Dear Khun Dionne, SO wasdee krub from SO/ Bangkok! We\'re truly grateful for your continued loyalty, and glad that you had another enjoyable stay with us. It\'s wonderful to hear that our newly renovated FLOOR/ 9 lobby, and comfortable rooms were to your expectations. On the other hand, rest assured our team are actively working on improving our hotel\'s conditions, ensuring we provide comfortable stays for our valued guests. Thank you for your kind comments, and hope to see you back again soon! Kind regards, SO/ Bangkok Management Team
