The Velvet Orchid

Boutique hotel in a quiet side-street, yet close to major sites. Elegantly furnished in traditional Thai style. Full complement of foreign news channels. Lobby features specialty teas for sale to connoisseurs. Rare for a small three storey hotel, it has a lift/elevator. Quieter side-rooms face a neighbouring block without windows, so private. Charming antique-style brass fittings in the bathroom. Helpful and polite staff who do their best with limited English, especially Rein

Sides with a bit of a view, face a school which could be noisy weekdays. Some rooms have far less wardrobe, drawer space and desk size than others. A desk lamp for reading and hand-towel rail in bathroom would help. Tepid hot water in bathroom – both sink and shower. Limited electric plug points, mostly near bed rather than desk for computer.

The location was good and the room was clean, although not spotless clean. The staff was helpful.

The hotel didn't feel as fancy as in the pictures, but we liked it anyway! There is a school nearby and children start singing songs early in the morning, which is a nice way to get to know Thai culture 🤣

The staff are warm and welcoming and helpful. The location is amazing and quiet. The room is beautiful, clean, interesting and has all you need. The bed is super cozy and the sheets are extremely soft. I would stay here again.

The room I had faces the wall of the hotel next door. It‘s not a deal breaker, but the room I had at a previous stay had a balcony with a view to the landward which was a nice touch and made the room brighter.

Room was clean and comfortable. We wanted to extend our stay for 2 days and they accommodated us by moving us to two different rooms. Pea was very kind and helpful.

Second room that one of our parties was moved to had some deficiencies, but overall still good. We paid cash when we arrived, but the hotel marked us as no show in error so we were charged double. Situation was rectified, but I am glad I looked at my credit card statement.

The location was good. Quiet at night but near tourist points in tge old city. Our room was nice with dark furniture and had a jacuzzi bath. The balcony was also good

Nothing not to like. It was near a school and sometimes heard the children. Taxis could not get down tge short road to hotel

location, stuff was very friendly

at morning you can hear everything from the hall, at 9am maids are talking loud so if you like sleep longer it will be a problem, also you can here sounds from the temple and school nearby

Very spacious. Good location within the walls. Fantastic bathroom. The towels were good quality cotton and have not been ruined by excessive use of fabric softener as is often the case. Perfect size as well.

Very central, polite staff, clean and cozy

Sometimes I found the noise insulation somewhat poor but I am particularly sensitive to noise.

Amazing value for a really cute and quirky stay, as a couple in our 30s we didn't want to stay at a hostel and this was the same value but for a hotel. Absolutely loved it. Would definitely stay again!

Hot water and shower wonderful location was very convenient. Room was a good size and they changed over the room every day.

GPS didn’t take you exactly to the property but to a parking lot owned by the next-door hotel not a real issue.
