반전 리버뷰 호텔
Pros:

새벽 늦게 도착하는 이유로 가성비 호텔선택
장단점위주로 솔직담백하게 밝힌다
장점: 1.리버뷰로 저렴한 가격 2. 깨끗한 객실상태
3. 매우 친절한 고객응대서비스
단점: 1. 강뷰로는 어이없을정도로 구석진곳(택시기사들도 왜 잡았냐고 물어볼 정도임)
2. 저녁에 주변으로 그 맛집이나 마사지샵은커녕 그 흔한 편의점 없음.

Pros:

The shower would get cold quickly and after awhile turn hot again with ok pressure. I would take a 2 minute shower just to try and avoid the cold water. There is barely anything around this property in any direction. It also seems to have more families than any other hotel I’ve stayed in, so more screeming kids and slamming doors. For me besides the shower, it’s ok. I like to walk a lot and explore new areas no matter what is there.

Pros:

Access to the property is challenging because it’s tucked away and you have to be very attentive to GPS and looking for the glow sign if you miss it you’ll end up crossing over to the other side of the Chai Phraya river. once you find it it’s an extraordinarily high-end boutique hotel that was built only in 2024 so everything is super clean well finished and appointed one of the greatest value hotels I’ve ever booked. Hyper clean, modern, trendy right on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Amazing views from the infinity pool alongside of the river to dining (vv good!)indoor outdoor. Normally the fitness center is at these boutique hotels are given the short shrift, but not here. Excellent equipment! All in all just under a five star but I would say over a four star. And the price, don’t tell anybody it’s a steal! We’ll stay here again to be sure

Pros:

Eine Perle im ruhigen Viertel Dusit. Direkter Blick auf den Chaos Praya sowie ein großes und sauberes hoteleigenes Schwimmbecken.

Gegenüber dem Hotel befindet sich ein Pier für die Fähren und ca. 25 Minuten zu Fuß die MRT Station Sirindhorn.

Die beste Art die Sehenswürdigkeiten zu erkundigen, ist die Fähre auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite auf dem Pier ( N16) zu nehmen, damit gelangt man sehr schnell zum Königspalast oder Wat Arun.


In der Nähe befinden sich kleine Restaurants, Garküchen, ein Supermarkt und Fast Food Ketten.


Das Hotelpersonal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel hat mittlerweile eine Bar mit Cocktails und einen Zimmerservice.


Das Hotel verfügt über saubere, strahlend weiße Handtücher und ein bequemes Bett. Internationale TV Sender sind sehr gut empfangbar.

Gute und wechselnde Frühstücksauswahl.

Wir kommen wieder da und der Aufenthalt sehr gefallen hat.

Great value hotel with great amenitities located o
Pros:

GLOW Riverside is a great hotel right on the banks of the river, but very quiet. It has nice views of the river with the pool and restaurant overlooking it. There is a nice gym and the rooms are clean with very comfortable beds. Even our standard room was large with a large balcony. There was a buffet breakfast included with our stay that offered a full spread of Thai and Western dishes. The hotel is located near Chinatown

Hôtel magnifique
Pros:

I found this hotel very good. the rooms are great. I was able to manage the air conditioning on and off. the reception is very nice. the waitresses at breakfast are great, always friendly and comely. I haven't been drinking milk for a long time, and for breakfast, as it didn't have soy milk, they offered me coconut milk but then it was super good, I loved it. So every morning I had my glass of coconut milk with a little sweet but light taste. for me, the waitresses were very attentive. I therefore recommend this place which is beautifully well and with a swimming pool in addition. I thank them again and again my stay was lovely, I had a nostalgia the same morning I left this hotel with regret, I was at home. thank you thank you. Even if the hotel is far from the grab centers such as Central Word, Inconsiam, MBK and BIG C it is not a problem. there is the bus, the GRAB and the boat because it was my Favorite transport. then it must not stop you.

Pros:

We were really happy with our stay at Glow! Being along the river with a river taxi option across the bridge, breakfast included - and tons of selection, the pool and lounging area, a spacious room and view towards downtown. The hotel is great! We would stay again!!

New hotel CP Okay
Pros:

酒店是新開,大概開咗九個月,整體上都好乾淨,房間很光猛,空間感十足,有露台,清潔度也可以。
位置方面一般,因為比較入,每次出市中心,如果call車/的士大概需要200匹,但整體環境不俗,泳池乾淨夠寬敞。
價錢經網站訂大概$250. 包早餐,性價比 okay。

2 nights became 10
Pros:

All in all a very pleasant stay and the location although I bit secluded in terms of places to walk close by positive because of the tranquility. The only thing irritating was their laundry service which double charged for the was of a shirt because it was a hoodie and they counted it as two long sleeve shirts. The staff on the other hand made up for their dumbfounded charge with their friendliness.

Pros:

I absolutely loved this place. I’m now thinking it’s my go to place when I’m in BKK.

The location on the river is amazing. I loved the pool and the gym was great.

My only slight criticism was with the portion size of the Club Sandwich-it was half what I expected.
However the Pork Chop was delicious.

All the staff made my stay extra special in particular Newtie who works in Housekeeping.

I totally recommend and can’t wait to return.

Thank you all

Pros:

Had a great stay, check was quick smooth, friendly, helpful. Friendly staff, nice room, balcony, didn’t use much, hot to sit out, king bed very comfy, clean.
Everything was new condition, fairly recent hotel.
Liked location next to River, pool and gym.
They have cafe, bar, breakfast which I didn’t have, as it was buffet, I don’t have a big breakfast, and I am solo traveler.
It’s short walk across the bridge to get River taxi, no more than 20 TBH.
Stayed 5 nights, would stay again.
Was Good experience.
