Great rooms and staff. Loved it here. Off the beaten path by about a block or so, which we liked.
Loren, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Hotel Vela was clean, conveniently located near major malls, and incredibly easy to access. Perfect for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Highly recommend!
Tina, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Mark Anthony Joseph, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

overall including the room cleanness， staff attitude and services are excellent.
Richard, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Friendly staff, rooms very small and poor soundproofing. Pool is very small!
Polly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Cassidy, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Christopher, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
kenneth, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and workable
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very nice, appreciated the little extras in the room with comfortable bed and pillows (lacked a clock in the room). The area is challenging to get to attractions and we paid a lot on taxis and tuk tuks. Staff were friendly and the hotel was very clean and modern.
Deborah, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and friedly
Richard, 4-night trip

Cheong Guan, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Didn’t like the location , hard to find and surrounding area not great
Jagdip, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We were disappointed with the area and the swimming pool. We were stopping over fter a long flight and before another long one and couldn't relax by the pool. Had a bit of trouble at first, getting there. The taxi's didn't know where it was. We felt it didn't match the description that made us book.
Linda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Arivanh, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Susan, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel was clean but very inconvenient.
RAJEN RAJARATNAM ARRMUGAM, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room is reasonably good -- clean and comfortable. About 10-minute walk from nearest BTS, but quite dark to walk through the soi if alone. One-way transport available from hotel to BTS. Reception staff is pleasant. A little noisy in the day from activities in the neighbourhood.
Wee Teng, Valerie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great spot. Nice room!

This hotel is great. It is definitely one of the newer hotels in the area, so a little pricier, but completely worth it for the condition of rooms and buildling overall. The AC works great, the balcony is quite nice, and even comes with a built-in laundry drying rack. It's also in a terrific neighborhood, just a short walk from the BTS Skytrain. There are a ton of food options nearby, and it is also within walkable distance of most of the major shopping centres. Bonus- perhaps the most comfortable hotel bed I have EVER slept on. The pool is quite small and basically right in the middle of the open-air lobby/drop-off area, so there's no privacy or space for actual swimming... but perfectly fine for a quick dip to cool down. Overall, a great spot!
Jerry, 3-night trip
