JC Kevin Hotel is by far the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in Bangkok. Here’s why:
1. Elevator Disaster: The hotel design is completely flawed, with only three tiny elevators serving a massive 40-floor building. During busy times, expect to wait at least 5 minutes, if not longer, just to catch a ride.
2. Breakfast Nightmare: The breakfast was an absolute joke. I found hair in the food that didn’t taste fresh (maybe leftover from yesterday?) and the options were primarily carb-heavy with very few protein choices. Definitely not worth the price or effort.
3. Dirty, Old Rooms: The rooms are in desperate need of a renovation. Everything feels old and grimy. The bed was uncomfortable, and the shower was a nightmare – water temperature was either scalding hot or freezing cold, with no in-between.
4. Terrible Location: The hotel is inconveniently far from public transit, with very limited grocery stores, restaurants, or bars within a 10-minute radius. Getting a taxi was a hassle since almost all drivers have to make a massive U-turn to reach the hotel.
Overall, the combination of poor design, subpar cleanliness, and an inconvenient location makes JC Kevin Hotel a place I’ll never stay at again. Avoid at all costs.
