Happy with our choice in Bangkok
Fantastic location. We really enjoyed the view of the river and Wat Arun from our room. Beautiful at night. Breakfast at the rooftop restaurant was very good. Found the lighting controls for the room quite unusual. The room is quite small, hardly could walk around the bed. The bathroom area is very large. Wonderful staff, enjoyed our stay.

The hotel is amazing value for the location, within walking distance of Wat Pho, the Grand Palace and the Rainer Chao Praya River Express boat stop. Their staff are welcoming, friendly, and went the extra mile in serving us, starting with a slice of cake to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The view at night from the rooftop restaurant over the river of Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace are astounding! We had a Deluxe river-facing room on the 3rd floor with a great view of Wat Arun. The restaurants below close at 10pm so we had peaceful nights sleep. The food was really good, equivalent in taste to the Michelin star restaurant opposite ( Rongros). A fantastic experience all round!

Excellent service from all of the staff! Our flight was majorly delayed and they were so accomodating with our change in plans. The hotel is in a nice, quiet area with easy access to the temple and grand palace. It was also convient for taking a river taxi. I highly recommend the Riva Arun!

We had a wonderful stay at Riva Arun. The staff greeted us immediately after our car arrived, and served us some Thai tea as we checked in. The staff were so kind, friendly and extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The location is superb - walkable to the Flower market, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. A ferry stop was just a few steps away from the hotel entrance and took you right across the river to Wat Arun. Plus there are many restaurants to choose from. So convenient! Highly recommend!
