We stayed at The Continent Hotel in Bangkok and landed one of the corner rooms, which gave us gorgeous city views that honestly did a lot of heavy lifting for the entire stay. The room itself was a decent size, beds were comfortable, and the bathroom had good space… but you could tell it was holding onto its youth by a thread. The shower head kept falling apart like it was trying to escape, and the caulking around the glass looked suspiciously like black mold. Hopefully it was just… creatively aged. Noise wise, prepare yourself. Day or night, the soundtrack of Bangkok never really stops. Beautiful views, but zero peace and quiet.
The rooftop restaurant came with great views, too, but that’s pretty much where the benefits ended. It’s small, overpriced, and nothing special unless you just want a photo. The rooftop pool followed the same theme: tiny, outdated, and more “Instagram backdrop” than “swim and relax.”On the bright side, the location is super convenient and the staff were genuinely wonderful. They were the standout part of the whole hotel. Overall: solid location and pretty views, but the facilities could definitely use some love. Not terrible… just a little tired.
