What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfortable Rooms

My stay at Vela Be was made even better by the comfortable room features. The suite I stayed in was spacious and clean, without any carpets, which I really appreciated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, possibly one of the best hotel beds I've ever slept on. I had a great night's sleep after long days of exploring the city. Everything was well-maintained, making for a relaxing environment.

Nice Bathroom Amenities

I was pleased to find the bathroom stocked with quality toiletries that were replenished regularly. The shower had excellent water pressure, which was a delightful way to refresh after a day out. Having access to hot water at all times added to the comfort of my experience, making it feel very home-like.

Relaxing Pool Area

Though the pool might be considered small, it was a perfect spot to unwind. Nestled near the lobby, it served as a refreshing escape from the Bangkok heat. It was a lovely area to take a quick dip and relax with a book in a serene environment. The pool is a charming little addition to the hotel, albeit in a busy spot, which didn't bother me too much.

Satisfying Breakfast

The breakfast at Vela Be was a pleasant surprise. While the selection might not have been extensive, what was offered was fresh and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the option to order eggs cooked to my liking. Starting my day with a hearty meal set a great tone for my adventures in Bangkok. Overall, it was a good way to fuel up for the day ahead.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were nice, clean, and cozy, which made for a comfortable experience.

However, the rooms were smaller than I expected from the photos, which was a bit disappointing. The location has a great local vibe with lots of shopping and dining options nearby, but it can be a bit tricky if you're hauling luggage. Overall, it felt like decent value for the price I paid.

My stay at this hotel was quite nice overall. The rooms were clean and equipped well enough for a short visit, and the staff were very helpful. However, I found the location a bit far from the BTS, which made getting around a bit inconvenient. The breakfast could have also offered a better variety. Still, considering the value for money, I would say it was a decent experience.
