Standard X Bangkok feels more like an art gallery than a typical hotel. I would highly recommend this unique experience to anyone seeking something different. Standard X currently has only two locations—Bangkok and Melbourne—and Bangkok must be the best place for most people to experience this brand.
Location: Next to the Phra Arthit ferry station, from where you can take a ferry to Iconsiam, Asiatique, Wat Arun, and more. Khaosan Road is a short walk from the hotel as well.
Facilities: The rooftop pool offers stunning views of the Chao Phraya River. The hotel lobby is the true highlight, immersing guests in an art gallery atmosphere with paintings and artworks displayed throughout.
Room: The Deluxe King Riverview room is on the smaller side but richly decorated with artistic touches. I loved the river view from the balcony, though the room’s compact size made it less comfortable to linger in. The TV could use an upgrade, as the current small model felt a bit outdated.
Breakfast: Served at Bang, a restaurant adorned with creative art pieces and river views. The breakfast includes both à la carte and buffet options. While the dishes I tried were good, none were particularly memorable; the ambiance and setting were the real highlights.
Globalist Recognition: Includes a 4 pm late checkout, two mocktail vouchers for the rooftop pool, and a nice breakfast at Bang.
Service: Everything ran smoothly, and the receptionists were very helpful, recommending many cool places to explore nearby.
