Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. All the staff are polite and accommodating. There are a number of excellent restaurants/street food outlets within walking distance. The Silom Complex shopping centre is just a 10 minute walk away. Transport-wise, Sala Daeng BTS and Silom MRT are similarly a 10 minute walk making it easy to travel eg to/from Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Don Muang Airport (DMK), and anywhere else you might want to go. Highly recommend.

Bangkok is getting more difficult for me in many places, in general I've booked stays at the Tarntawong because Surawong Rd remains balanced in the presence of extremes. I remembered to leave a review because I thought of something about the girl at breakfast I think is right to say. I think that she's finely made. I mentioned to her one morning that I like the midcentury modern things in Bangkok.

Would be a nice touch if they can wish guests who are celebrating their birthdays during stay . Was there on 21 Aug,( my birthday, but no acknowledgement . Not expecting gifts or freebies , just a nice happy birthday wish would add some joy. Unfortunate as I thought this would add a homey feel to the stay. Notwithstanding, service is still great and would make it go up another notch .

Memories of Si Loms older glory

CONs - I arrived early and was held to wait some hours in the non A/C-d lobby until 2PM checkin ....these days hotels are not usually fully booked so I don't get why they did that.
There was a noise next to my bed that was not very helfull to sleep but I was not able to switch it off. Lighting in the room was not sufficient and one lamp didnt work (which did not help to improve that). My view was a grey concrete wall. Also not helpful. From the pics I had a different expectation. Overall a bit run-down with old interior but some stylish classy elements in the room that give an idea of better times of this place. Pricey laundry. From the representation I had a manior-like expectation, but it turned out to be a backyard/backalley type of building.

PROs - location pretty nicely in Silom. The hotel itself and the area pretty old-fashioned. Seems like they have frequent guests who stay there long time and they became part of the lobby bar furniture. Good and easy to use wifi. The room was clean and I was not ashamed of bringing company as long as they didnt open the curtains. Had good sleep and no noisy surprises.

Unfortunately, where the food has always been superb, this trip the food was not very appealing. Had the worst Massaman Curry I’ve ever tasted and the once famous breakfast fried rice was nowhere near its former glory. Breakfast was included but I chose to eat street food 2 of the 3 mornings there.
