VOQUE Hotel & Serviced Residence Sukhumvit 51

The room was clean when I checked in, and the staff were extremely kind. The AC worked well, and having a washer dryer was handy. There’s a good-sized fridge and a nice bathroom too. It’s very convenient for public transportation, food, and groceries. The amenities are great, with a small pool and a decent little view. I didn’t use the car service, but it’s cool that they have one. I’d stay here again.

The staff were helpful and friendly throughout, and the housekeepers did a splendid job every day. They greeted me whenever I passed through the lobby, which isn’t usually my thing as an introvert, but it felt personable once I got used to it. The hotel also surprised me with birthday decorations and a cake in the fridge one evening. I hadn’t mentioned that the trip was for my birthday, so it was a memorable touch. I’d come back. The rooftop pool has a pretty good view, though it’s too small for lap swimming. We spotted a huge rainbow there. I tried to find a sunset view, but the spot we needed for it didn’t have the best outlook, so I thought sunrise might be better. The gym is small but functional if you know what you’re doing. There’s also a sauna, steam room, and rooftop golf area, all open 24 hours, though I didn’t use those. The bathroom is huge, with a Japanese electric bidet, a large sink with room for personal items, and a separate deep, long bathtub and standing shower. I took a bath daily. From the second day on, the heating didn’t seem to work well, but cool water was acceptable in Bangkok’s heat. The living room was fine, with a beckoning but not very large sofa and another TV. The kitchenette placement might make it hard to move around if someone is cooking, though we didn’t try it. The washing machine and balcony for drying were very useful, and I liked the clever kitchenette trash can. The Nespresso machine came with two pods each day, topped up by housekeeping. The bedroom was comfortable, with a big, nice bed, blackout curtains, and a work desk that was actually comfortable to use. There were plenty of outlets for plugs and USB cables. The AC faces the bed directly with little space between, which seemed questionable. The TV looked big and nice, but we didn’t use it. The room felt minimalist and chic while still cozy, and was spacious enough, though reviews saying there wasn’t much room to open a suitcase were right. The kitchenette, wardrobe and furniture layout leave less usable space than the room’s size suggests, while the bathroom takes up a lot of space. I could manage opening my suitcase in the bedroom. I’ve been to Bangkok more than 10 times in the past year and chose to try this hotel in a quiet soi. It’s off Soi Sukhumvit, very close to Soi Thong Lor and the BTS station, and at the end of a soi with an international school and some government-looking buildings. There are cafes and restaurants by the hotel. Near the Fuji supermarket there’s a Villa and more hi-so food options popular with Western and Japanese expats. At check-in we were welcomed with a drink, and the staff gave us an overview of nearby places and how to reach them. The location was pretty good, and the room had a kitchenette, though its layout affects the usable space.

Nirut was an amazing driver and took me to many places, which was so convenient. Ken was super helpful and kind too. The rest of the staff were extremely helpful and kind. The room looked like the pictures and was good for $100 USD per night.

The bed is really comfortable, and I’ve been resting well here. There’s a Nespresso machine in the room, which is a nice touch. I arrived at 10 a.m. for a 2 p.m. check-in, and Ken at reception got me settled promptly after a quick room inspection. He even helped set up Netflix on the TV. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality, Khun Ken. I’m delighted to be staying here.
