Worth it?
Treat Yaowarat as a night food district, not one famous stall. Save two or three targets, then explore the street and side lanes instead of spending the whole evening in one viral queue.

Stay around this side of Bangkok
If more of your shortlist points here, compare Chinatown / Old Town as a base.
Yaowarat Road is one signal, not a reason by itself to choose a hotel. It sits in Chinatown, and RJNS currently gives Chinatown / Old Town the strongest stay fit for this stop. If more of your saved places cluster on this side of Bangkok, the area becomes more useful as a base.
Best when most of your saved places are around Yaowarat, Song Wat, Pak Khlong Talat, Nang Loeng and the river-side Old Town.
