The view of hotel is very good nearby chao praya river. But the transportation in Bangkok is bad especially the taxi. Most of the taxi driver is not good since they know we are tourist they push us to pay twice higher than the acrual tariff. Otherwise they will us to get off from their taxi

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.

We were given a room in 1/F with river view which is too close to the bar and everyone can see inside the room. We changed the room in 4/f the next day which is much better.
The breakfast is nice. The staff is very helpful.

Very Good

Location is near to grand palace and other sights, which is good, but other than that there is nothing in the surroundings except for the Khao San Road which is a backpackers area and which I didn’t like. I had to take a taxi every night to go to other parts of the city for diner or a drink. My street side room was very noisy because of the bar across the street having loud live music. I couldn’t sleep even with ear plugs. I complained and they gave me an other room but the noise didn’t become less. The next morning it appeared that my (new) room was in front of a construction site across the street where a hotel is built. The noise began early in the morning and was very bad. I complained again and they offered an other room which solved the problem. Thank you for that! Very appreciated. The price of the Riverside rooms are too high for this type of hotel. Bathrooms are getting old and need renovation Not all the staff in the restaurant speak English well which sometimes leads to errors and frustration
Riverside location, pool area is very nice and comfortable Spacious rooms, big and comfortable beds Very friendly, polite and helpful staff including the manager who is very engaged

I liked everything. The staff were all very helpful. My only criticism is that the happy hour is way too late. They should bring it forward to 5 or even 6pm- not 8pm.
The position on the river front was lovely and the size of the hotel (68 rooms) meant it had much more atmosphere than the traditional chain hotels.

There was nothing to dislike about the property!
Our first time in Bangkok was made so much better by staying at Riva Surya. Upon arrival we were immediately offered an upgrade to a suite at no additional cost and the staff were so friendly, efficient and caring to our needs (Kevin in particular). The place itself was beautiful, clean and really well located. Just a 5 minute walk from Koh San Road and around 10-15 minute to the Grand Palace, this is an idyllic tourist hotspot for sightseeing. We absolutely loved that the hotel was located on the river, and on our second day the hotel organised a private longboat round the river upon request. It was just my boyfriend and I, so it was very romantic as well as seeing parts of Bangkok we would have never seen otherwise - 100% recommend doing this on a beautiful, sunny day.
