Laura, Spain

Our room was huge and shower enormous. Grounds are beautiful with two swimming pools. The staff are outstanding - very friendly and will do anything to make sure guests are comfortable. Spa services were inexpensive and wonderfull. The hotel is a 10 minute max ride to Seam Reap center and we loved being away from the hordes. It’s very quiet.

Karen, Canada

In the old town, close to Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha. Beautiful hotel.

“A beautiful hotel. Gorgeous rooms and an amazing view of the Wat Arun.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Riva Arun Grand Deluxe Jacuzzi
- • Stayed 4 nights
Breakfast seemed a bit pricey (to be expected given the location) which is why we chose local cafes instead.
No better location in Bangkok! You can't beat sitting in an outdoor spa while gazing across the river at the amazing Wat Arun. In fact, we found the general river activity very interesting viewing from our balcony. Room was beautiful and clean, the bed amazingly comfy. Definitely worth the money. Staff were excellent and keen to assist in any way. We did not eat breakfast here but dined at the rooftop restaurant which was very good.

The hotel is in an old area of the City and whilst has been nicely renovated some of the buildings close to it are not attractive. There’s nothing the hotel can do about that - so don’t let the look of the neighbourhood put you off. “It’s A Great location!
Riva Arun is a small hotel with a friendly feel where the staff remember your name! We had cocktails at the rooftop bar during a thunderstorm which was memorable but maybe not the instaworthy photo opp we’d anticipated! The iPhone they provide is a great perk that enables you to wander a little further and not feel so exposed having to rely on free wifi!

“Multifaceted Bangkok”
- • Leisure trip

- • Superior Double or Twin Room

I must say Hotel have failed to meet my expectations this time. Room was too small for 2 people and shower facilities should be upgraded: water was switching from too cold into too hot, pressure of water also quite weak. TV signal was funny: sound was jumping from too inaudible into too loud (not sure if it was only for movie we were watching). View from the window was not very impressive, partially closed by restaurant in front (not sure if better room was available without paying for upgrade...)
That was my second time in Riva Arun. it has perfect location for people, who want to explore sightseeing in Bangkok: major attractions (Wat Pho, Royal Palace, National museum) are within walking distance. Also compliments to friendly & smiley staff: they have given us a warming card with best wishes upon check out.

Beware the TukTuk drivers telling you that the Grand Palace is closed, just walk around the corner and you will find that it is open
Beautiful, friendly boutique hotel in walking distance of the Grand Palace. Delightful rooftop restaurant with interesting Thai Fusion food and panoramic views of the temples, river and city.

It would be more awesome if they had a pool and spa area (we missed it) or a shuttle service could be offered to their sister hotel which has a pool.
Great location few minutes walk from Wat Pho and Wat Pho massage school is just around the corner.
