Sorry, to come back to this. Did some walking and found out

Gulliver's is No. 6, the Poland embassy next door No. 8,

the lawyer No. 10-12, followed by an apartment house, No. 14 and Bel-Aire Princess No. 16.

Seems to me the Soi is running from Sukhumvit as beginning to Bel-Aire as end.

Oh yes, after the hotel comes a car-park that belongs to Royal Benja.

Mugging or tried to. Sorry, this happened but that Soi in general should be quite safe. Gulliver's and an embassy with police guard. Opposite a private house that looks impressive and the owner seems to be powerful enough to have the police enforce the no-parking-signs. Next door the drive through of Grace-hotel with 24 hours guards on duty, opposite the lawyers office (wonder what they charge per hour) and the apartment building (No. 14) with 24 hours guard followed by the Bel-Aire with door men on duty.

Does not look unsafe me.

BTW, back to the OP, can recommend the hotel and in fact do book for quite a number of my visitors.

Seems most people recommend it

I'm going to take a walk right now on Soi 5 but I'm scared. I'm really scared
