VELA be Bangkok Siam

New hotel in the middle of everything. I stayed in the solo room for 3 nights. At check in the hotel was 3 days old. So obviously it’s all very new and clean. The staff were really social from check in until check out. Because I check in during songkran I was gifted a water gun to join the festivities. The room is the smallest room type they have. And after a conversation with the staff they only have 2 rooms this small. I was also able to grab a discount on trip so I ended up paying a bit over 4000bath for my stay. Usually this room type cost 1600 per night. Slippers, toothbrush, shampoo/conditioner and body wash all included. Hairdryer kettle water and fridge in the room. Cleaning was good. The first night the cups I had used for coffee had just been rinsed. But that didn’t happen again the rest of the stay. At check in the water was leaking under the sink, I informed the reception when going out for dinner and the issue has been fixed when I got back I guess since this is a new hotel you will find some things not being 100% ready by the hotel will fix it immediately. Also the pool is located on the first floor. However it is not ready. Still under construction without a deadline. So if this is important for you do check with the hotel before booking. Breakfast included was very simple. But has what you need. Coffee not that great for me that is used to stronger coffee. But that’s just me. You will be welcomed at floor two and asked right away if you wish eggs and how you want if prepared. I tried omelet and fried eggs they were good. Comfortable bed. And really nice pillows. Ac is quiet and becomes cold. Located in an alley but walking distance to Mbk/paragon/siam center etc. so really convenient. And close to McDonald’s and 7 eleven if you get hungry at night. Or just want a snack.

Great location - 1 BTS stop away from Siam and other shopping areas. Hotel is pretty new and colourful. I chose Junior Suite as I like to have more space. Room is clean with all the necessary amenities. Toilet bowl only have a small gap from the sliding door, should have a bit more space especially after using the toilet and need the space to stand up. I am not big size but I can image how the bigger size customer feels. Overall, experience is good as not a big hotel means manageable in the number of people during breakfast.

One of the best hotel I stayed at at this price point. All their furnishing and amenities are brand new. Service staff are extremely polite and helpful. Two downsides is the poor room sound insulation and the sewage smell that comes from the toilet that is common in all bangkok hotels. All in all will stay here again.
