VELA Dhi Nakhon Phanom

Everything,, lovely hotel, stylish and modern. Very helpful staff. The pool.is beautiful, not huge but really nice. There's also a small, clean fitness room with treadmills, crossfit machines and a few weights - enough to work up a decent sweat! The location is brilliant, right on the banks of the Mekong.. If you like cycling (I love it!), then the cycle path along the Mekong is a gem. I cycled to the Friendship Bridge from the hotel, about 15km one-way and it is a really nice cycle, it's a proper cycle path, with some excellent infrastructure which was a joy to cycle. I also cycled from the hotel in the opposite direction,about 8km, then I turned back but I had not reached the end of the cycle path - I was happy enough with my 50km in total! Nakhon Phenom is very pleasant, plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars of course. The riverside is best. There are very few tourists here which means you get a more genuine Thai experience I would happily come back here again.

The hotel is relatively new therefore everything was very much in place. The view of Mekong river was to die for. The room itself might have looked quite bland for some people but personally i loved it. The staff were very respectful as well as informative. Althou I didn't have breakfast there but the room service food was heavenly.

Modern hotel with friendly and attentive staff. We upgraded the room to a bigger one which was well worth it. Lots of free parking, a lovely pool area with a restaurant, cafe and bar. A good smart tv and fast wifi. Our second time to stay and we will return on our next trip to Nakhon Phanom.

location... direct at the Mekong. Clean nice room, good bathroom (very nice thick and big towels). Inside architecture... Very kind staff with english no problems. Liked the cafeteria. Normal room with the sofa is fine.

Great hotel, loved the soft pillows. Housekeeping was great, the hotel is really clean. Very nice swimming pool, lots of parking. The bathroom was perfectly sized with a really good, hot shower with great pressure. Easy access to the walking street area with a cycleway overlooking the Mekong river. They also have bikes to rent. We walked a few times and it only took about 25 minutes, a tuk tuk cost 80 Baht. No problems at all, will definitely come again.
