We chose Shangri-La Bangkok to begin our honeymoon expecting excellence, care, and at the very least, basic professionalism. What we received was, frankly, a disgrace.||The first morning went well—we had breakfast at the hotel without issue. However, things quickly went downhill. On the second day, due to an early excursion, the hotel provided us with a “picnic breakfast” that was embarrassingly poor. We had clearly informed the staff in advance that my wife is celiac and requires gluten-free food. Not only was this completely ignored, but she was left with absolutely nothing she could safely eat. This is not just disappointing—it’s dangerous and unacceptable for a hotel that claims to be of international standard.||On the third day, we personally went to reception to raise our concern and to make sure the same mistake wouldn’t be repeated on our final morning, as we were checking out early. The receptionist assured us that the hotel would take responsibility and provide a proper breakfast to our room, free of charge, as an apology for the previous mishap.||To our shock, when it was time to check out, the deposit refund was not returned in full. They had charged us for the very same breakfast they had promised would be complimentary. Despite numerous emails and calls since then, the hotel has yet to return the money or even issue a proper apology. The silence speaks volumes.||It’s baffling and disgraceful that a hotel under the Shangri-La brand would behave with such negligence, lack of empathy, and ultimately dishonesty. This was our honeymoon—an occasion we’ll never get back. Instead of being cared for, we were lied to, ignored, and charged for something we were told was complimentary, after a serious dietary issue that could have affected my wife’s health.||A hotel of this supposed category should know that guest trust is everything. In our case, they failed spectacularly. I hope this serves as a warning to others, especially anyone with dietary requirements or expecting a stress-free experience. We’ll never stay at a Shangri-La hotel again—and will strongly advise others to do the same.
