to get started.

The staff were wonderfully helpful and the patio was a nice place to come back and relax. Since it is on the river you can walk down a little bit and get in the hop on hop off boat to tour the city. Right down the street from the hotel is Khaosan Road. This was our favorite road to stroll through, shop, stop and have a drink or good food....cool vibes in Bangkok on this street.

The property was amazing. The location is located in a great spot, right next to a ferry stop, walking distance to Khao San road and an easy Tuk Tuk ride to get anywhere else. The room was very comfortable, and staff was beyond nice and welcoming.

We used live by the river nearby and decided to take a little nostalgic break. We were not disappointed and the even though the location and facilities are near perfection it is really the staff at every level that made the difference.

Great staff, perfect breakfast, nice clean and comfortable rooms with beautiful view to the river. Convenient location. Overall nothing to complain I can only recommend this property.

This hotel is a little gem; a peaceful, well-run oasis to come back to after the wonderfully chaotic and colorful feast for the senses that is Bangkok. Located right on the Chao Phraya river where all the main attractions are located, one can purchase an all day pass for under $7 USD and spend the day visiting the main attractions via the river taxi with Pier 13 located under 100 meters' walk from the bar of the hotel. The rooms were extremely comfortable and tastefully appointed in a monochromatic decor. The front desk was run very well, day excursions and general questions were answered quickly and fully. The pool area, the bar and the restaurant were well run and when I was too tired to go out for street food their menu satisfied nicely. Honestly, there isn't anything that I found fault with. Excellent place.

Nothing, all lovely
Absolutely loved hang out by the pool when I was getting too hot during the day! Close to all the tourist streets. A few people complained about the boats on the front of the hotel but we didn’t get woken up with boat noise at all.

“Nice place, not very comfortable room”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 3 nights
It would have been a 5 star stay if not for one thing: noise in the room. I chose the one facing the street, and the street, unfortunately, is lined with cafes and bars that have live loud music every night, making it really difficult to fall asleep. Had I known this, I would have probably looked for another place to stay, because good night sleep is very important for me when travelling. Of course, the hotel has rooms facing the river too, but they are, obviously, more expensive.
When choosing where to stay for a couple of days in Bangkok, I was looking for somewhere central (Rattanakosin island), nice and with a swimming pool – Riva Surya was one of only a few such places. Overall, I’m happy with my stay, although there were a few downsides I wish I was aware of before booking. Location is ideal for seeing all the major sites on Rattanakosin and along the river, since the hotel stands just a few steps away from a boat pier and within walking distance of the Grand Palace (20 min). The interior is nice, the swimming pool is of generous size – you can really swim, not just soak there. They have a very good restaurant on site – everything we had there during the course of 3 days was exceptionally good.
