I thought the property was amazing and the staff were great. I'm a frequent traveler to Bangkok, so I wasn't bothered by the location, but if it was my first time and I was looking to do touristy stuff, I could see this as a bit annoying. I used Grab to get here and travel around from here without any issues (I had one friend who said they had Grab drivers who had problems finding the hotel, but I never had that issue). If you want to do things in Silom, the main action is about a 15 minute walk up the street.
