VIX Bangkok Hotel @ Victory Monument — Hotel in Thanon Phaya Thai Subdistrict

I stayed here for 5 nights, and unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations, despite the hotel’s very convenient location. The area is surrounded by shopping centers, street food, McDonald’s, 7-Eleven, Starbucks, Watsons, and several pharmacies — which is definitely a plus. However, everything inside the room fell short.

There are no amenities: no pool, no restaurant, no breakfast, no activities — not even a bar (which was closed throughout our stay). The room itself was very small, and the bathroom/WC setup was not ideal. With an open ceiling design, the toilet and shower are essentially part of the sleeping area, so humidity and unpleasant odors quickly spread into the room.

Working in the room was difficult, as there was no proper desk or workspace for a laptop. Even more frustrating was the mosquito problem — the room was full of them, despite us never opening the window during our stay.

The noise levels were unbearable, especially on the weekends. The hotel is located on the 3rd floor of a mall, and there is a karaoke venue directly above on the 4th floor. Loud music, deep bass, and banging sounds constantly echoed into the room, making it nearly impossible to get a good night’s sleep.

Housekeeping was average — while they tidied the room and replaced water and towels daily, the pillowcases and bed sheets were not changed at all during our 5-night stay, which was disappointing. The slippers provided were also extremely thin and felt very cheap.

On a positive note, the staff were friendly and responsive, particularly the lady at reception who kindly allowed us to check in one hour early and was quick to assist with small requests like bringing extra water.

While the surrounding area is convenient, it’s also extremely busy and crowded, which means getting a Grab, Bolt, or taxi often took longer than expected due to traffic congestion.

In summary, if you’re looking for a quiet and comfortable place to relax or work, this is probably not the best option. For the same price point, there are certainly better alternatives...

This is the 3rd time I visited Bangkok and I was so satisfied with VIX.|✔ Yes:|- Close to a station for public transportation and a grocery store: |+ Bus station: close to your hotel. Use gg maps to get the bus number to your location. Tell the bus cashier where you're going, and they'll let you know when it's safe to get off. If the bus is packed, however, please pay attention to the gg maps.|+ BTS/MRT: It takes about five minutes to catch the BTS line; if it's hot outside, it can be exhausting, but it's also convenient.|+ 7-elevent: You may find the two 7-elevent locations close to the hotel by using the gg maps.|+ Retail center: A small retail center connects to the hotel but there aren't many restaurants here.|+ Local eateries: I observed a few nearby eateries here, but I was unable to give them a try. |+ Famous Boat Noodle: Exit the hotel now that you're facing this eatery. There aren't many people in line, so you can wait for a short while, but on weekends, the wait time is longer. However, there is no need for you to wait because the serve was quite swift.|+ + Night market: On the route to the BTS, there is a tiny night market or all day market. You can attempt to buy some reasonably priced goods there.|- The room was so nice:|+ The accommodations were good, with a hair dryer, air conditioning, fridge, and other amenities.|+ There was no unpleasant smell or dirt when you first arrived. |+ The room was really lovely, with a window and a tiny bed where you could enjoy the sunshine and the sound of a passing train.|✖ No:|+ The bathroom was a little confusing—it's directly next to the entryway, and while it has frosted glass and a curtain to let light in, you still feel awkward using it when you go with a friend. It's not very private.|+ The bed was quite soft, which is bad for my back. |+ The air conditioning was extremely chilly, but maybe that's just typical for Thailand. |The VIX Hotel will be my first choice if I visit Thailand again because of all the convenient...
