Como Metropolitan Bangkok

The staff were brilliant. I had a late night flight so the staff gave me a late checkout till 2pm and when I returned to collect my luggage they allowed me to use the spa facilities they have on the 2nd floor to freshen up so had a sauna, jacuzzi and shower, very nice touch. Free wifi in the lobby was nice but the signal not strong, they had a permanent computer in the lobby for guests use. Small breakfast presentations but good quality. Idea to order main breakfast dish from the menu, they should change the muffin on the egg benedict, it was a muffin the size of a fist, too much bread and wasnt even good bread. Rooms lacked personality, the minimalist concept looking a little tired. Noisy rooms on the 10th floor, I was given a room there and had to change as could not sleep, not traffic but rather machinery noise from the hotel, maybe air con units. Small rectangular windows. Television had bad reception for the channels on offer, not good picture quality. Swimming pool area was also very noisy with workers fixing up an area behind the pool, there was no note of this until you arrived at a very noisy poolside. Strange arrangement to get to the pool but nice pool though!

I booked from 24th to 29 Jan., but they pestered me on 28th the whole afternoon when do I check out. Only after some sort of confrontation I comprehended that their records showed that our room was booked only until 28th. - I stayed in Bangkok another 5 days, but I changed the hotel.

Love the Como Shambala spa and their products. Not close enough to the main attraction.
