Riva Surya

Very attentive staff and a fabulous position; to the river, transport, food and Khoa San area all very close. Lovely sound proof rooms and a good breakfast. The only negative was the ridiculously warm pool, seriously wanted blocks of ice thrown in daily. While not a cheap option, would definitely stay here again as it was worth the extra.

Riva Surya is a lovely hotel on the riverside in Bangkok. It is away from all the hustle and bustle of the city making it a serene place to return to at the end of the day. There is a warm swimming pool, and lovely sunbeds and sitting areas overlooking the pool and river. The room was attractive, with a very comfortable bed and excellent bathroom. They have a happy hour with several cocktails and beers at 2 for 1. But what made our stay was the WONDERFUL service given by the reception team here. They were so friendly and helpful,, and knew our names within minutes of our arrival, which they then greeted us with every time we passed by. One young lady on the desk (Dai?) was particularly lovely. Thank you all for making our stay so enjoyable. The staff, comfortable bed, beautiful position next to the river, central location. Maybe more yoghurt and fruits, sticky rice with mango on the breakfast buffet, but it was still very good. The Grand Palace, and Wat Pho are very close by plus restaurants and cafes. It is right next to a pont station so easy to catch the river taxis too.

This is a modern, attractive, four story block owned by the Surya company. It is centrally located, a short boat ride to Wat Pho, the Grand Palace, etc.The bedroom, bathroom and restaurant were of good, four-star quality - using the standard rating system based on the quality of the hotel and facilities, which is not the same as Trip Advisor system based on customer reviews. On the Trip Advisor scale, I give this five stars. The river location is a definite benefit, with great views on the river side. Noise was not a problem for us, and you can get on tour boats from the hotel's quay.

Okay this place was by far the best hotel we’ve stayed in Thailand, beautiful view of the river, also everyone at this hotel was absolutely nice they helped getting me taxis with meters they just went completely out of their way to accommodate you! The hotel is seriously near all the palaces and walk-in distances from Khao son road and on the last day we discovered a street heading to a market which was amazing had everything which then leads to Khao son road it’s pretty near everything ! As for the noise I had absolutely no issues and we were facing the streets ! Over all I would def come back

This place was great! Way more beautiful and well kept than I expected. The pool and river view is fantastic. You can walk a short distance to everything; including great food and great little pedestrian streets with awesome souvenirs and cafes. They were so nice to our children and we were just really impressed with the balcony room and the service from everyone there. I would stay here every time!
