VELA Dhi GLOW Pratunam

It is located next to the famous street 19 of Pratunam and right opposite Platinum Fashion Mall (5 mins walking), Pratunam night market is then only 5 mins away as well. Along the street nearby is Tofu and various message centres offering affordable service. Next door is also a 100-baht store shop for your souvenirs here! The nearest BTS is Ratchatewi at a straight line walk of about 8-10 mins. The hotel is attached to a smaller mall that sells bags and clothing also a McDonald's. At night you may get your doze of Banana Pancakes and fruits from the street kiosks. Hotel also allows us to have free early check-in at 8.30 am when we arrived such a welcome gesture.

Location was OK for our needs. My wife is a food blogger so we visited lots of local food markets. Pretty much anywhere in Bangkok will take time to get around due to traffic. We took taxi's most of the time. Download the GRAB app and we used it all the time. It's like UBER. It's a little more expensive that just hailing a taxi and using the meter but it saves you the trouble of trying to communicate with the driver (they don't know where anything is in Bangkok) and arguing over the price. With Grab you order and pay on line through the app with your CC and it's done. The hotel is really nice but a little weird that you need to enter the building through an alley into a type of small market and take the elevator up to the lobby. Once there it's a nice hotel with a beautiful pool. Service was excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location, close to many shopping malls and within walking distance to the BTS and MRT. We loved the view from our room. The staff were outstanding. Thank you to Michael and his team. Yui at reception, Toey at restaurant and Witt , King and the the bell boys , and our cleaning lady, Por for excellent and friendly service. We enjoyed the breakfast and we used the swimming pool almost every day. Was our third time to the hotel and we will be back.

Located at heart of pratunam, downstairs have starbucks and macdonalds and crepe pancake. Bed is very nice and room quite big. Pool and gym looks good from the room view. Must try the hotel massage, happy hour from 1 to 8pm. Downs are lobby at level 7 then change lift to go to the rooms. Staffs at counter not really friendly but staffs handling luggage and at level 1 are nice and smiley. Lastly, tv channels are aplenty however, only a handful speak in eng.

The room is big and well equipped. There's a water refill station at the lobby (level 7), and for room cleaning, they'll replenish 4 bottles of water. Location is convenient but not sheltered if you want to use the bridge (R Walk), which connects Platinum mall, Central World (not sheltered), Big C, and Gayson Village.
