Lock in a great price for Riva Surya Bangkok – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

It feels like a tropical vacation in the Old Town of the major city of Bangkok.

Craig, United States of America

Our room was exactly what I hoped for. It was spacious and clean and comfortable and had a lovely terraced area. The staff was extremely nice and helpful.

Linda, United States of America

The smiles and politeness of the personal, the facilities and perfect location

Andrea, Canada

Beautiful room, great view. We had a view of the bridge from our room which was lit with red white and blue and in the pattern of the thai flag. The bed was the softest of the beds we stayed on in Thailand. Staff was extremely friendly and went out of their way to help you.

Aaron, United States of America

The room was clean and spacious. We booked the room with a balcony facing Chao Praya river and it was great. The staffs were wonderful. Restaurants were 5 - 10 minutes away from the hotel. Very convenient.

Erwina, Indonesia

Location is really nice. Rooms are nice but not considering the price (very expensive). Breakfast is nice but not included. Gym and pool are very nice as well.

Ori, Israel

Location was fabulous with views over the river, easy access to river taxis and river boats. Lovely vibrant area Very very helpful staff.

Karen, United Kingdom

Location right be the river is fantastic. The swimming pool is a great focal point and good meeting place. The food served at the river side is good and the service is good also. Visitors can park onsite safely and securely.

Steven, United Kingdom

The staff are so friendly and lovely to deal with.

Felicia, Australia

The staff was outstanding! From the moment of our arrival to the time the doorman offered us umbrellas (which came in handy during the downpour that happened on our way back!) until they called us a taxi on our last day, the staff was kind, courteous and helpful. They truly made our stay first class. The room and especially the balcony overlooking the river were also top notch. Can’t say enough about this place!

Nothing to dislike.
The riverside location and the friendly staff make a stay here enjoyable, plus the comfort of a large room with a balcony. Breakfast on the terrace is memorable. This is my third stay here and I will come back next time.

1. Can be quite noisy if your room is on the street side. After long flights, we were told our room is on the first floor of street side, and it was really noisy in the evenings as there are pubs and bars just opposite the street, not possible to sleep until late night. After checking with reception, they changed our room to 5th floor for free, it was so much better even if it is still on the street side. 2. The pictures on booking.com are a bit nicer than it actually is. The hotel is not that big compare to the pics on booking.com, but the facilities are good.
1. Fantastic location, very close to everything, Grand palace, Khao San Road 2. Nice breakfast with a lot of choices. 3. Hotel staff are very nice and helpful, they changed our room to higher and quieter floor for free.

Breakfast is kind of expensive, so we didn't book it. But there are plenty of good and cheap locations right in the vicinity.
We liked everything about Riva Surya. We didn't expect it to be really that good. It's expensive, yes. But you get exceptional service, always a smile and a location next to the river - we felt comfortable instantly. Oh, the room and the bed were huge! :) The location is fantastic, you can hop on a boat and get down to Chinatown or the BTS station but taking a taxi is also easy. It might take a while during rush hour to get to the hotel from the airport for example but we never had any issues.

“Lovely hotel, great location, great staff and great outdoor area.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Standard Double or Twin Room with City View and Balcony
- • Stayed 5 nights
Overall this place is great and I would definitely recommend it. If I had to make any suggestions I'd ask for more service around the pool as we'd have eaten and drunk a lot more if this had been in place. The BBQ burger needs more seasoning as it's too plain. There was also no furniture on the balcony which seems strange given that the balcony area is quite a nice space and it would have been good to enjoy it more. The pool is also pretty cold, cold to the point that you can't really be in it for any length of time, I'd notch it up a few degrees.
The staff were lovely and the service was great. The hotel is really well located, five mins walk from Kao San Road, not too much more from the national gallery and 10 mins from the royal palace. Also located on the river so there are nice views from the pool and restaurant. Majority of the food was very good too. Showers were great and the beds were comfy.

10 out of 10 for everything. Staff are wonderful, stayed here 2 nights, worth paying a little extra to stay here as we stayed at another that was cheaper for a stop over and it wasn’t the same experience. It’s right next to everything but in a quieter street so it’s just perfect. Would stay here again when returning

“Fabulous place to stay but you would need to read up first, about places to visit”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends

- • Stayed 3 nights
Reception did not have the knowledge to give good tourist information; such as best places to go shopping for silks, clothes or pearls, neither did they have information regarding trips, dinner cruises or things to do that weren't on their books, they did not have any tourist information regarding places to see which were less well known - like the wonderful Royal Barge Museum or be able to recommend local places to eat, they did not know even the best sky bars to visit. They tried their very best to help. It would have been useful to have had someone at the hotel with this type of information. This would have made a difference to time spent in Bangkok
Lovely staff, very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Well located close to the Palace and the Golden Buddha. Great rooms and view. Beautiful swimming pool, comfortable, large sun loungers, Highly recommend
