The last time I stayed here was 8 years ago. It is very clear that they have cut down on a lot of things - starting with the big roses pot in the lobby now some cheap flowers. The room amenities used to be Bvulgari but not anymore. It could be country’s economic situation etc; But it was very different this time.

Absolutely amazing stay. Fantastic staff throughou
An absolutely amazing stay from start to finish. Room was large, well set out and very clean. Bathroom was also spacious and well set out with plenty of light, and immaculately clean. Nice comfortable large king size bed with extraordinarily comfortable pillows. Nice and quiet - all helped for great sleeps. Good lighting throughout with conveniently located switches. Room has tea, coffee, room safe, shampoo, conditioner, slippers, shaving kit and dental kit. Good hot water and water pressure in spacious shower. Room service, which I only used once, was excellent. Good wifi. Great selection of restaurants and bars. Stunning views from the rooftop Sky-lounge, which also has live music at night. Good view from Room. Staff throughout the entire hotel were amazing. Great location. Highly recommend!

Great location for being in the capital but the rooms were small and the suite was not in a 5 star condition. Views are of rooftops or buildings. Very noisy with music playing till 10.30pm at the honey club. Great selection for breakfast. They didn’t provide hand wash/soap in the room despite asking several times. Basic lack of understanding made it difficult.

Plush hotel
It is a plush hotel but the rooms are small. High level of service. Breakfast is great. They had fresh tropical fruits like mangosteen, guava, papaya, etc. There are 2 malls within walking distance. Short tuktuk ride to the National Museum (must visit) and other significant sights.

Very tired hotel that needs more, better traistaff
The hotel is tired and not well staffed to make it run well The room service food was inedible; not through spice or flavouring but preparation. The staff at the pool were absent. The gym staff were horrendous and I found one drinking wine from a bottle in the cupboard while I was on the treadmill.

I stayed at the Kingsbury for one night and it was a great experience. Check-in was speedy and the staff were informative and kind. My favorite experience was dining in at the Ocean seafood restaurant. The food and cocktails were made with love. Will be back soon
