It's hard to find something bad to say about this hotel. We stayed in a deluxe suite, and it was beautiful. The fool was also excellent. My only complaint was the cost of wi-fi. We found this hotel through Andaman Adventures. They actually helped us book most, if not all of the accomodations and activities for our recent three week trip to southern Thailand. Simon and Fon were excellent, and what they booked for was was exactly as advertised. They obviously know the country very well, and for 1st time travellers to Thailan, their services were invaluable. Although we were stranded at the airport twice (Phuket and Bangkok), they took care of all of our connections, and more than made up for the delinquent cab operators at the airport. I reccomend Andaman Adventures wholeheartedly.

We stayed at VIE Hotel in Bangkok over the weekend.

Pros:
- Great location. The hotel is right by the Ratchathewi BTS station, which makes it easy access to explore other locations in Bangkok. The hotel is also within walking distance (10-15mins walk) from the shopping area of MBK Centre/Siam Paragon etc.
- The hotel has great facilities and there are many promotions to take advantage of as a hotel guest, e.g. the spa and express breakfast at the lounge. Wifi is also free at the lounge.
- The staff were all very hospitable and helpful. The hotel offers many Bangkok and outer Bangkok tour packages which can be booked the day before at the lobby.

Cons:
- The swimming pool is small and is facing the BTS line. Commuters on the train can actually see guests swimming quite easily.
- The pillows were too soft. It may be that we were not used to it, but we would have expected either more than the two pillows that was provided, or harder pillows.

Overall, we had a great time especially with the hotel's rate promotion.

My wife and three adult children plus partners - eight of us - stayed in the Vie for 5 nights in early January 2012. It's really difficult to find a bad thing to say about the hotel. Location is fantastic - 2 minutes from the BTS Skytrain station, under 10 minutes' walk to Siam Square, fantastic shopping, a couple of parks, loads of restaurants and facilities within 5 minute. We booked "luxury" rooms and got upgraded to Superior rooms - which are actually suites - and what suites! I wish my living room at home was as luxurious and well-appointed as the one in the Vie, and the bedroom was beautiful with fantastic views over Bangkok. Bathrooms are huge, beautifully appointed and decorated. breakfast was included as part of the internet deal, and was possibly THE best buffet breakfast I've ever seen. Excellent restaurant with a remarkably good 2-4-1 value-for-money deal - much more expensive than local Bangkok eateries of course, but stil terrific value by UK standards.

Fully equipped gym, nice swimming pool (although limited sunbathing space and quite small).

All staff (as usual in Thailand) endlessly helpful and friendly. The only (very minor ) criticisms I can come up with is that the mattresses were harder than I like (that's subjective), there was no bedside table on my side of the bed (which was vast!), and I'm not a fan of glass doors in bathrooms. Otherwise, in every way, fabulous.
