after many travels i come to realize that one of the things that sets a hotel apart as better than their competitors is the staff performance, and this in turn depends on the hotel management.
vie hotel i believe is well managed and therefore a good hotel to stay.
in addition, this one is well located in central bangkok. very easy access to major shopping areas by walking or taking the free hotel tun tuk. the bts station is just outside in the main street.
the restaurant is fantastic, although a little expensive. same for the bar.
the furniture seems a little "futuristic", kind of like living in an ikea catalog, but personally i like that style although some might find it a little cold.
definitely recommended overall and better value than the main large hotel brands.
