VELA be Bangkok Ratchathewi

Its location is far from Ratchathewi BTS, no facilities at all actually, only a very tiny pool which is dirty and out of sunshine, and no sunbath chair provided. 7-11 is accessible in the 100M. There is no kettle inside room, you need to get hot water on the ground floor. Many cars are parked in front of the main entrance, it covered the hotel door entrance and it is also an obstacle for visitors to carry their luggage entering the hotel.

I have a previous review with more photos of the room so won’t be adding them again. Just adding photos of the outside area by the pool. The hotel is clean. But there are these small flying bugs in the room. And for those who are sensitive to smell, book somewhere else. For those who aren’t you won’t be bothered. It smells like damp wet areas/pipes. I got back from shopping in the afternoon and the ac had stopped working. Called for help, waited in the room for 10-15 minutes but it was too hot so I went to the reception. The problem was fixed within 30 minutes. And the staff was really apologetic about this. Also housekeeping knocked on the door at 10. And I asked them to come back later. Came back from shopping after 15, and the room hadn’t been made so called and asked for them to make up room because my towels were dirty and I had no more toilet paper. Waited in the room for 20 minutes and housekeeping came. And then I went to reception to wait and returned to the room after 30 minutes and the room had been made. They don’t change the sheets after one night. The pool is just a huge jacuzzi. Located outside the entrance where cars pulls in. The photos here are of the seats next to the pool. If you want to sunbathe and play in the pool. Book another place. You won’t enjoy this area. Seven eleven outside the hotel. Lots of cheap massage places. Didn’t try so can’t say more about that. Hotel is located at the very end of an alley. The walk to bts station is 10 minutes. So I ended up taking muvmi everyday. Cost 31-52 bath depending on if you’re going to paragon or central world. Pickup/drop off location at the entrance of the hotel. Very convenient.

Good locations and spaces. Worth for the prices we paid.
