Hotel Riva Arun Bangkok

392/26 Maharaj Road, Phraborom Maharajawang, Pranakorn, 10200 Bangkok, Thailand –

*8.4* Wat Arun: only 4 minutes away! (1,100 feet by foot)

*8.8* Wat Pho: only 3 minutes away! (800 feet by foot)

Tha Tian Pier: less than a minute away! (50 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Riva Arun Bangkok – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

I like small boutique hotels with superior service and staff. The location was amazing!

Robyn, Qatar

Very good location, walking distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, plus some nice cafes and restaurants around. Loved having breakfast with a view of the river and Wat Arun. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Jawaher, Bahrain

Great view and quirky room. Food and drinks at the restaurant were excellent.

Matthew, United States of America

The location is amazing, within minutes of temples, restaurants and local shopping. Awesome staff “Toby” went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and safe he is a rockstar!!

Manuel, United States of America

This was a great place to end our trip to Thailand. The room was perfect and the view was amazing. The rooftop restaurant was a pleasant surprise as we weren't expecting it to be as amazing as it was. Breakfast every morning was wonderful and we ate dinner there both nights. The food and view was just way too good to pass up. Definitely a "hidden" gem in Bangkok.

Maggie, United States of America

Great hotel on the river with a beautiful view of Wat Arun. Walking distance to all the nearby temples. Very helpful and accommodating staff. We loved our stay!

Jenna, United States of America

Great location, we had view of water and Wat Arun. Staff were super nice, easy to communicate with in English, and helpful. Very clean hotel. I would go back.

Karen, United States of America

The location is fantastic, and the view from the restaurant terrace and our room was just fabulous. The hotel was within comfortable walking distance of all the major venues we wanted to visit, and to the ferry terminals and long tailed boat tours on the river and khlongs. Even travelling by taxi to use the swimming pool at the twinned Riva Surya hotel cost only about 40 baht (£1). There are no other hotels close by, so what the Riva Arun hotel has to offer is unique. Added to all that, the staff were friendly, helpful and charming. I will be thoroughly recommending this hotel to my friends. The photo I have attached is of the view from my bed approaching sunset.

“Nice river location with comfy beds but small and over priced”
- • Leisure trip

- • Superior Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The room is tiny, difficult to layout clothes. The shower was very tight, impossible to prevent water streams into the toilet area. We smelled smoke in our room so got changed to a smaller room if that was possible. Excellent river location but far from metro or light-rail. Staff was not well informed of local attractions.
The bed was most comfortable, terrific WiFi, plenty of universal plugs. The hotel is walking distance to reclining buddha and grand palace. The staff was responsive to concerns. Shower was hot with good water pressure.

The Riva Arun excells in customer friendliness. Care for the guests is very good. Staff are going out of their way to satisfy all your needs. The location is superb. Right on the river with view on Wat Arun. Also the area is filled with lovely eating places and coffee shops. And right on all the other sights of down town. Really a very lovely time!

“Memorable experience”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Nothing major. The glass doors to the bath and toilet were really heavy so if you are petite, might struggle with it. Will score the experience 4.5 for now but I would give it full marks at 5 if their amenities had been more plushy - better quality toilet rolls and bathrobes to complete a luxurious experience.
Staff were friendly. The view from the jacuzzi bath at sunset over the Chao Prya River and Temple of Dawn was amazing. We ordered room service, tho menu was limited, food was very good. Hotel located in a quaint part of old Bangkok, very charming. Short ride to Chinatown. We will definately return.
