Location was great and staff were so lovely. The hotel was basic but well worth the money. Only downside was the pool was very small and didnt look like the photos but wasn’t a problem.
We loved our stay here! Comfortable beds, yummy breakfast and the Soi it is located on is alittle off the major road which we found to be great! They also give an adorable keychain upon checking out.
It was an amazing stay! Staff was very nice and helpful, room was clean and perfect. Area was very walkable and had great food options. Would come back!
Hotel Vela was clean, conveniently located near major malls, and incredibly easy to access. Perfect for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was great. It had everything we needed. It was very clean and quiet.

nice simple hotel in great location close to BTS. Hotel is fairly noisy as very popular with Mainland Chinese tourists but overall good hotel in good location. Limited breakfast choice but plenty of places close by for breakfast.
The staff were super friendly, helpful and respectful. It was the best hotel that I ever stayed in, in my whole life! The breakfast is excellent and the cleaning staff are very hard working. If this hotel had apartments, I would rent from them in a heartbeat! This was the best hotel experience I have ever had by far.
Rooms were very clean and in good condition, breakfast was nice and a good choice menu. Only thing poor was the pool, it was the size of an average jacuzzi, there is no bar so no relaxing by the pool with a coctail.
New-looking hotel in Ratchathewi, friendly staff and tuktuk available on-demand 9am-6pm to BTS except Sun and Mon, which is room for improvement. Three 7-11s on the way to BTS, totally convenient!

The Smell was what set my mood as I walked into it room for the first time, a overwhelming smell of mold.
A smell that was present all day and all night everywhere in the room.
A smell that kept us from getting into sleep coz of how bad it smelled.
It seemed to origent from the AC.
The room otherwise was OK, clean but small.
Staff was a mix of feelings...
The night keeper (a girl in this case on arrival) wasn't neither helpful or accomodating to our needs and want after travel, it seemed all she wanted was to play with her phone instead of attend to us as we arrived.
The day staff (a Man) was a A+ customer person, helpful, happy and everything you would wish from a service staff.
Hard to rate the hotel correctly with all the fuzz with the smell and staff.
The hotel was other then the above a ok living in Bankngok.

Friendly staff, rooms very small and poor soundproofing. Pool is very small!
The room was extremely clean and all the staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The only problem with the stay was a barking dog outside so maybe ask for a room on the top floor. Otherwise the bed was very comfortable. Great value for money

The street noise was very bad, with a rooster crowing and dogs fighting all night long from across the street, with minimal sound-proofing. That, and the swimming pool is really a bathtub with pretensions. Other than that, clean enough and close to transportation. Staff was nice and friendly.
Location away from noisy main road is a positive. Shower clogs and you are ankle deep in your own gray water. Had to shut water off so gray water drains as I washed my hair so I do not flood the entire bathroom floor.

Staff is friendly.
But hygiene of rooms leaves quite a lot to be desired. When I checked into the room, I wiped down the floor with Clorox wipes and they all turned black.
Swatted 5 mosquitoes or so in the room. Curtains are stained.
The water pressure from the showerhead becomes very weak as you turn the water to the warm end, probably to save water, but at the expense of the comfort of the shower.
There are no kettles supplied in the room. You have to go to the restaurant downstairs to get hot water which is a source of inconvenience.

Overall, this was not a 4 star hotel. We stayed 3 nights and had no hot water in our room, even after complaining twice. We also booked this hotel because we were able to take advantage if the free tuk tuk service to the train station. However, when we arrived, the hotel said the tuk tuk was ‘broken’. We would have chosen a completely different hotel had we known this. Very disappointed. Staff was really friendly though and the rooms were fairly clean. The hot water and false advertisement was really unacceptable though.
