We stayed in a twin room for six nights, and I wouldn’t recommend it based on our experience. Although we knew the window couldn't be opened when we booked, we didn’t expect it to be fully covered with wallpaper. It felt like we weren’t on vacation because we couldn’t see outside at all—we didn’t even know if it was day, night, sunny, or raining. We asked the receptionist for an upgrade to a king bedroom which has the window view, offering to pay more, but she was unhelpful and didn’t prioritize us as existing guests who had already paid in full. She claimed the room type we requested was occupied and asked us to check back the next day, instead of offering to contact us if a room became available. It didn’t make sense that she didn’t know whether the room would be available or not—did she not have the check-in and check-out list for the next day? Or was she waiting for a walk-in guest? As soon as we checked online, the king bedroom she said to which was fully booked was available for instant confirmation, proving that the staff lied to us and didn’t respect our concerns. She kept insisting that the only available upgrade was a balcony room, which would cost 500 baht more per night. I won’t come here again and recommend this hotel to my friends. Goodbye.

The lady reception is very rude.
Breakfast selection is limited. Showing 4stars hotel but just like 3stars hotel. Not recommended to traveller, and location is a lil far from the BTS Station. Not very convenient. No sound proof in the room.
Checkout time is 12PM but TUK TUK service to BTS station is not available at that time DUE TO DRIVER IS TAKING A BREAK??! What kind of service & system is this? Asked me to wait for 1hour then i asked after 1H then asked me to wait again for 30MINS? So disappointed!!!
You should ready your tuk tuk service from 12PM - 12:30PM for your check-out Guest instead. Really bad service in here!!! One & Last time here!
Response from Property: Dear Sabrina Liew,I apologize on behalf of VELA be Bangkok Ratchathewi. Please know that your situation was an exception. As you can see on other reviews, we are known for taking ownership and caring deeply about our customers. We would like to inform you that our hotel has only one driver, and there is no fixed break time. Typically, the situation dictates the schedule. Once all guests have checked out and there are no guests left in the lobby area, the driver is then informed to take a break.When you inquired at 12:30 PM, you were informed that the driver was on break and would be available around 1:30 PM. You kindly agreed to wait. Subsequently, around 1:30 PM, you contacted the front desk again to request a ride to the station, but the staff informed you to wait another 15 minutes, which led to your understandable dissatisfaction. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience.When you contacted us the second time and we could not locate our driver at that moment, we searched for him and found that he was unwell and vomiting in the restroom. We intended to return and inform you, but you had already left the hotel.We sincerely accept your feedback and are committed to improving our service. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.Best regards,Niphawan L.Front Office Manager

The room is clean and clear. The bed is very nice, suitable for rest day. But the room nearby the street. You can hear the sound from the tuktuk, motorcycle , or others. The breakfast is a small buffet.

The hotel is considered clean but still got dusty, trying to wrap the floor with wet wipes very dark. The location is convenient if you are used to it by walking. They even provide free Tutuk fetch to Rachathewi BTS station (except Sun and Mon). Housekeeping and receptionist service is good. Overall the hotel is comfortable to sleep in, it is just that the room they gave us is a bit noisy in the morning because the room Is street direction.

Staying at Vela Be Hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the room was stunning, with modern decor and all the amenities one could desire. However, the downside was the noise issue. Despite the beautiful surroundings, the room's location next to the soi meant that outside sounds penetrated easily. Throughout the night, the noise from guests next door slamming doors persisted, disrupting sleep and causing frustration.
While the hotel's ambiance and room quality are commendable, the lack of soundproofing detracted from the overall experience. Improvements in noise insulation would greatly enhance the comfort and tranquility of guests' stay at Vela Be Hotel.
Response from Property: Dear DookaDoi,Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. Your feedback has reach to those concerns in order to improve our service standard. All of us looking forward to welcome you again for your future visit in Bangkok. Best regards, Niphawan L. Front Office Manager

Very affordable hotel. Good for friends travelling if they are on a budget. Downside is, the location was quite a walking distance from the bts. And as a solo traveller it was kinda scary to walk down the street, especially at night so I had to opt for grab which is not ideal. They do provide tuktuk service to bts ratchathewi and bts national stadium but only from 9am to 6pm.. the walls are thin too so I could hear lots of noises. Its good if youre a heavy sleeper if not, its going to be hard to sleep.
