Excellent Location
The VIE Hotel Bangkok enjoys a highly desirable location - not immediately surrounded by the overwhelming bustle of Bangkok, but still near of some of the city's most popular destinations. The hotel is within minutes of Erawan Shrine, the Bangkok Art and Culture Center and Kamthieng House. For those looking to shop, the Chatuchak Market, Siam Paragon, Platinum Fashion Malle and Chinatown are all within walking distance.

Spacious, Comfortable Rooms
Many guests report that they were actually pleasantly surprised by the rooms. The guestrooms were universally regarded as being very clean, spacious and affording an excellent view. You should find the furnishings to be very comfortable as well.
positive:
Friendly and Helpful Staff
Guests have high praise for the hotel's hospitality. The staff work very efficiently but are always happy to help and offer any assistance within their power.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Pool is Small
While guests mentioned that the rooftop pool is very nice and offers an amazing view of the city, it is also rather small. This is fine if you are the only person in the pool, but during peak hours it can become very crowded.
negative:
Décor Somewhat Dated
Some guests felt that the hotel's décor was rather dated or in need of some refurbishment. The furniture and floorings are starting to show some wear and tear, and while most guests found this to be a relatively minor detail, it can certainly detract from your overall experience.
negative:
Difficult to Find Space at the Breakfast Buffet
The hotel offers a well-reviewed breakfast buffet daily in the lounge, but due to the constraints of the relatively small lounge area, the breakfast fills up fast. Guests report waiting in long lines for extended periods in order to find a seat.
