Riva Surya

Our go to holiday hotel in Bangkok for a number of years now. I would never go back to staying in the busy part of the city. The only downfall some may find is there is no BTS or subway in this area. Staying on the river more than makes up for up for it and is a great means of transport. One thing we love about hotels that retain their staff which this hotel does, it is like going to see family. Shows great management. If you can I would highly recommend a river room, especially with a balcony as it is soothing to watch the river life. Our room was spacious and love the super comfortable bed and good pressure in the shower. House keeping is very efficient and flexible around us. Once again my husband was spoilt by management as we are always there on his birthday. The Restaurant has a nice outdoor area overlooking the river and a fresh indoor air cond part. Special thanks to the team we saw most there, Bee, Non (my coffee man), Tim (my cocktail gem), Mint, proud and Noon. Food there is delicious, and breakfast is varied, especially considering it is not a busy time. The day/night menu is a great mix of tapas, western and Thai options. When we come back in July on our way home, I already know what I want to try as I never got the chance to try all the things I liked the look of. Front desk staff definitely live up to "the land of smiles" And once again the same staff that always remember us. Thanks to the team we mostly saw, Mila, Man, Hobbie and Moo Dang. We missed seeing Pi ow this year but hopefully we will next month. We are coming back on the final leg of holiday next month and will look forward to it. We don't use the pool as are out and about a bit rather than chilling around, but it is sparkling clean and inviting. I love the special touches in the front desk area, the lovely refreshing water to have when you come and go and the peppermint freshness of the toilets. The location of the hotel is great if you want to check out the lively Khao San road area but personally i would suggest the area on both sides of the road not far Soi Rambuttri. Lots of cafes and restaurants within steps of the hotel. This hotel never lets us down and love the fact we can come on holiday knowing we will be staying at a place that ticks all our boxes. Thank you too the team at Riva Surya, see you next month.

I live in Bangkok and have visited this hotel, many times over the years, it’s one of my favorite weekend getaways, and also whenever I have friends visiting Thailand, I always like to invite them here.

Great staff Moddand, bom ,Mika ,Focus, will come again

We found a lot to love about this hotel. The staff were genuinely friendly. The rooms were clean, modern and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The location next door to n13 was convenient for easy access to sites downriver. We had read other reviews saying it could get 'noisy' in this authentic Bangkok neighbourhood (a 10 minute walk to Kaosahn Rd) but we found the hotel to be quiet and slept like babies. A wonderful find!

We recently stayed for two nights at the Riva Surya and were very impressed.We stayed in a Premium River View room with a balcony. The room was spacious and very comfortable with excellent facilities. A balcony room is definitely worth booking as we really enjoyed watching the constant activity on the river. The breakfast was very good,the swimming pool looked very inviting and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is well located with nearby access to ferries and many of Bangkok's main attractions.
