Pros:

This is a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the older part of Bangkok. The rooms are spacious and we had a view of the river which was very nice. The staff are kind and helpful. There are numerous restaurants and bars nearby and the hotel is near the pier for taking water taxis.

Cons:

The hotel is beautiful but I did not like the backpacker vibes of the area. It is perfectly safe, but the crowd in the neighborhood skews younger since the hotel is near Khao San road so the ambience at night was not a sophisticated crowd.

Pros:

왕궁에 걸어서 갈 수 있고 길 건너면 람부뜨리 로드, 프리아팃 선착장과도 가까워 여행하기 편했다. 테라스 있는 방이었는데 강구경 배구경 비구경 모두 즐거운 경험이었다. 호텔 레스토랑에서 야경보며 한잔하기 좋았다.

Cons:

연식이 느껴지다 보니 샤워실, 화장실의 마감이 헐어있고 묵은 때가 눈에 보이기도 한다. 그러나 여행의 쾌적함에 영향을 미칠 정도는 아니었다.

Pros:

We liked the service and location in relation to Beit Chabad. The amount of service received was in line with the price.

Cons:

There were no rubber shower slippers and we had to pay for them. Wherever we were in other hotels, we could take the slippers with us. The problem is that if they demand the slippers back, I understand that these are used slippers from previous customers and it is really disgusting and disrespectful. I expect they would have told us that it was used from others. It is simply disgusting.

5 Star experience in a 4 star hotel.
Pros:

What a wonderful place. From the welcome at checkin, to the beautiful pool overlooking the river, complete breakfast options, and well appointed rooms, I woudl return here without a doubt. Walking distance to touristy nightlife and shops 10 minutes away, the are is more traditional Bangkok. Its a far cry from the modern malls and 5 star hotels elsewhere in Bangkok.

A Charming Riverside Hotel That Really Packs a Punch
Pros:

Riva Surya Bangkok is a wonderful boutique-style hotel in an excellent location beside the Chao Phraya River. Although it is close to Khao San Road and many of Bangkok’s historic attractions, the hotel itself feels peaceful and relaxing.

I stayed in a Premium Riva Room, which was spacious, comfortable and thoughtfully designed. The private balcony overlooking the river was one of the highlights of the room and provided a lovely place to sit and watch the boats go by. The bed was firm but still very comfortable, the pillows were excellent, and the blackout curtains did a very good job of keeping the room dark. The shower also had good water pressure and a comfortable temperature.

The riverside swimming pool is attractive and creates a pleasant place to relax, especially later in the day. The food also did not disappoint. I enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner, and dining beside the river added considerably to the overall experience.

Service throughout my stay was very good. Staff members were polite, attentive and professional, and I particularly noticed how they would step aside and greet guests properly when passing.

Riva Surya may not be one of Bangkok’s largest hotels, but it offers a strong combination of comfort, service, food, atmosphere and location. This hotel genuinely packs a punch, and I would happily recommend it to travellers looking for a more personal riverside stay in Bangkok.
