It was a beautiful location with modern design and a cool “handy” phone to assist you with data and cellular options if you don’t have a data plan on the trip.

Katherine, United States of America

Being on the river, great pool, nice lounges, great place to enjoy the cool afternoon breezes. Beds and pillows super comfortable. Great location near both Khosan Road, river transport and old Bangkok attractions. We had a good Thai meal right on the river at their restaurant.

Fred, Australia

Nice pool right on the river with a good bar. Right near river taxis.

Barbara, United States of America

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast buffet was perfect to start a big tourist day. And the location by the river with direct ferry access to get to other locations in Bangkok was definitely a bonus as well.

Supercalifragolisticxpal, United States of America

The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, the pool is amazing. The staff go above and beyond. We only booked one night but had a very late flight the next night, so they not only let us leave our luggage, but also told us that we could come back later to swim and take a shower before our flight. It was perfect.

Eva, United States of America

Everything exceeded our expectations from the friendly staff to the outstanding rooms and riverside pool.

American, United States of America

Friendly helpful staff, great river view and cold drinking water in the foyer, within walking distance from The Grand Palace and Khoasan Road

Hester, South Africa

Great location!!! Really relaxing atmosphere Wonderful attentive staff

Willard, United States of America

Cold rooms, service was very friendly and prompt, well kept property, easy to access different parts of the city with quick taxis from the front door. Make sure to get the small map with a Thai instructions for taxi drivers when you are returning back to the hotel.

Juan, United States of America

Staff is super sweet and helpful. They were able to rent a limousine for us for a very early flight to DMK. Place was nice and very close to an area that’s filled with street food, restaurants, etc. very nice. Has a safe too!

- • Standard Double or Twin Room with City View and Balcony
- • Stayed 4 nights
Balcony didn't have any furniture, and was generally useless. Staff was over bearing, and given the price level was not as flexible as one would expect with both check in and check out -on check out in particular we left late at night to catch our flight and were simply not interested in waiting for reception to call a cab etc when one could just be hailed on the street. Pool was small and had a lot of chlorine.
Large room, ok location to walk around from, good AC, good wifi

Wifi weak in my room compared to other hotels. Everything else fantastic!
Beautiful riverside location, everything great. I adored my river-view, no balcony room, with windows looking in two directions at the river. Excellent value. Although - the prices I noticed vary a lot depending on the market/ the time of year. Hunt for a good deal and book it, it's wonderful!

I didn’t like the shower very much or the shower door. It made it kind of difficult to have two people in the bathroom at once.

We come back every year in a big group and we are always looked after. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

“Good access to local restaurants, Spacious room, Friendly and nice staffs!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Standard Double or Twin Room with City View and Balcony
- • Stayed 2 nights
If you love local shops and river this hotel is the right choice. It was nice to walk toward the harbor, which is only a 5 min walk, and ride a boat to go to somewhere else. To go to Wat pho and grand palace, I walked straight through the university and walked about 25-30 mins to get there. Also, there's many good and cheap local restaurants, which is on the guide book, right across the street. Try nai-soi, hamlock and Vietnamese noodle place! Hotel staffs recommended all these places and they were the nicest compared to other hotels. For room, I liked the bed most! was so comfortable and I can definitely recharge myself after the long walking. Also, the foot massage at the hotel was amazing too!

“Nice Hotel with Great View of Chao Phraya”
- • Leisure trip

- • Executive Double or Twin Room with River View and Balcony
- • Stayed 4 nights
For the price, I felt that breakfast should have been included.
We stayed for 3 nights on our honeymoon. This is a more touristy area, so if that's what you're into and you want to be by Khao San than this place is perfect. It is more expensive, and for the price I feel that breakfast should have been included. We had stayed at a B&B the 2 nights before which I felt had more personality. Riva Surya has large, clean rooms with great views of the river (we booked a river view room). There are lots of restaurants within walking distance and street food options close by. The rooms have complementary water, tea and coffee and they provide a mobile phone for you to use which was amazing! The pool is beautiful, though we did not use it. The staff are great. Very nice place, we splurged since it was our honeymoon but would probably stay somewhere more affordable next time. Still a beautiful, nice hotel!
