We loved staying in the place which is conveniently located, with 3 BTS Skytrain stations and Sathorn Pier at walking distance. For Indians, this location is perfect, as the Indian temple and several Indian restaurants are close by. The morning market, opp Wat Khaek is amazing for street food and fruits, at affordable prices. The campus itself was enchanting, with a nice old world charm. The architecture is interesting, and supposedly adapted from traditional styles of Northern Thailand. Silom Village Inn, should actually be marketed as a Hertiage Resort, rather than a hotel. You will find boards describing the history of how this place was started 100 years back, and how they continue to have activities to promote and sustain Thai culture. The staff is very kind and always ready to help. Some of the modern, newer rooms which are on the other part of the campus may not be accessible by lift - if you have specific requirement for lift, please mention it at the reception while checkin, and they will accommodate you in the rooms which are lift-accessible, which is what they did for us. Inside the campus, there's a small fish pond and a big fig tree, which is home to a few birds. If you are a birdwatcher new to Thailand, you may get a few new species right on this fig tree - birds like Plaintive Cuckoo, Yellow-vented Bulbul, Germain's swift, Ashy Drongos, Olive backed Sunbirds etc. were what we spotted here. In all, an amazing place with character.

I'm not a fan of fancy hotels, extraordinary with its comforts but completely isolated from the local culture and environment. Silom Village, while it could use a bit of sprucing up, inside and out, ensures you feel like you're in Bangkok: motel-like (door opens to the outdoors), never more than a floor or two off the ground, no one hounds you with services you don't need, is walking distance to transportation, Lumpini Park, all sorts of coffees, Wat Kaek and its mesmerizing song, a fantastic morning market, and a variety of indoor and outdoor restaurants. I enjoyed street Thai, Indian, and Hong Kong food in my short visit.

Feeling springs trough mattress. Bed mites. Asked sheets to be changed. They sprayed bed but just turned the bed cover instead of changing. So fighting bites the entire stay. Good location.

Bad experience, rude staff and dirty room...
Horrible place to stay. Very dirty to the point I did not want to touch anything in the room. The housekeeper does a very bad job cleaning the room. Please dont stay there. There is better option in BKK.

We strayed in Bangkok, on and off for 4 weeks, visiting Thailand and Cambodia. We had arranged to stay at Silom Village Inn ,recommended by family who also have stayed there, Our plan was while in Bangkok, we would stay at the Silom Village Inn as it is central to many things here. As with most plans, there are changes and additions, When we needed to call and add on additional days, the desk people were always very accomidating courteous and professional. If we needed help moving or storing luggage, just ask, they always were there to help. The area is very busy urban but feels pretty safe to walk around but we were not out too late, If you stay and want the Bangkok breakfast experience, there is a street market 2 blocks down that we enjoyed every morning we could walk there and find breakfast, or some tasty pastries, fruits to take along on our travels. Great photo ops too.

Don't stay here if you have work to do. Room was large , but aircon was 1990s noisy and one speed, not adjustable. WIFI was TERRIBLE. I was told to leave my room and go closer to the router and connect and then go back in my rom - didn't work. Two room changes didn't fix this.

Disappointing condition of hotel.
The condition of Silom Village Inn is getting worse. I have visited the hotel yearly for the past 10 years and yes I can say that the state of the hotel has deteriorated. The housekeeping is terrible, the room floors are not cleaned as can be seen from dirty marks on the carpets. Thank goodness the linen on the bed is cleaned and changed daily and the bathroom is clean. The wifi in the room did not work for 5 days during my 7 day stay. Many guests on business were complaining as you could only use the wifi in the reception/lobby area.The airconditioner was noisy. But then again I heard that NO renovations etc. will be carried out as the properties were sold. The prices for the room are expensive for what you get and is not a 3 star anymore. It is sad to note that Silom Village Inn has lost it's status as a good clean and well maintained hotel. The TV reception was bad as well. The only good thing is that the hotel is in a good location.

Affordable
This is a very affordable hotel but looking old around the edges. It’s quite a walk to the nearest skytrain station but that doesn’t bother me. Meals are not provided but are available from the cafe in the complex.

Hotel?? No, a hold junk!
The staff was no really helpful, and with poor manners. The hotel is really expensive with no reasons, the room was a twin sold for a double with two single bed close to each other, with 70s forniture really dirty and ruined, ceiling full of spots, dirty walls, stinks of mould everywhere, mould in the bathroom too. Laundry service really expensive. The village its ok but for me totally useless just for lazy tourists, and too expensive too.

room was fine with safe and fridge.clean linen.,I am not a beer drinker and found the spirit prices exorbitant and went elsewhere and found less expensive places.Just a short walk to the "night life" and would possibly stay there again as the price is reasonable.
