Riva Surya

I stayed here on December 9th and had a wonderful experience. Every single member of the staff—regardless of their role—was incredibly friendly and polite. The rooms were spotless and offered a beautiful view. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great service and a clean stay

I had a great time staying at Riva Surya Bangkok. The hotel locates in a prime location. It's within a 5-min walking distance to the Phra Arthit Pier (N13). I was able to escape BKK traffic by taking express & hop-on/hop-off boats to Wat Arun, Wat Phra Kaew, Grand Palace, ICONSIAM, Asiatique, and other famous/iconic places. With taking a few shortcuts, I got to Kansan Road without breaking a sweat (I was walking at nighttime). There was a day I walked from the Golden Mount temple to the hotel. It was a sweaty exercise and took about 40 mins to get from the highest point of temple back to the hotel lobby. I even walked to Wat Pho (temple of the Reclining Buddha) from the hotel. On some evenings, I'd walk to Khaosan Road and the nearby streets for street food and restaurants. I stayed in one of their Premium Riva rooms. The room is pretty spacious. The king size bed is big and soft. Every morning, I'd spend a few mins at the private balcony to breathe in some fresh air and admire the calmness of Chao Phraya river. There were days I got back to my room before the evening just to watch the sunset. What I can say is the view was spectacular. I feel like my review wouldn't be completed if I don't mention the awesomeness of the hotel staff, especially the front desk administrators and bell attendants. They're very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Since I stayed there for 2 weeks, I had a chance to get to know each individual more or less. One thing I noticed, they worked well together like family. I think of them as the Avengers; I couldn't praise one without praising the others. Thanks to PIAOW (charming lady with long, curly hair) for giving me a warm welcome and saying goodnight with her lovely high-pitched voice. Thanks to MILA and PLAA for checking with me what I want for the in-room turndown treats. Thanks to HOBBIE for the handwritten welcome postcard & sharing with me her travel stories. Thanks to MODDANG for her high energy & a few late night conversations. Thanks to NICKY (the trainee) for always giving me a nice smile. Thanks to MAN for showing me how to get to places. Thanks to BOMB & BEER (delightful bell attendants) for all our personal chats. And a special thanks to Onanong (Reservation Manager) for offering me complimentary breakfasts. Without you, I'd be starving every morning. I'll definitely stay at Riva Surya hotel again. Hope to see all the members of Riva Surya Avengers on my next BKK trip.

Great service and great location. Will definitely return due to its service and amenities. Breakfast was always tasty with a great choice of food. Will be recommending this establishment to friends and family.

As returning guests this elegant hotel is our place to be in Bangkok. We always choose a room on the riverside with balcony, beautiful spacious very clean rooms, and we were lucky to get a room with even one of the biggest balconies! Breakfast buffet on the terrace at the riverside way to start your day. And not to forget the overall friendliness of the courteous staff. Won’t even think of staying anywhere else…. Location is good too, a few steps from the pier to hop on any boat to venture the city and across the street a nice neighbourhood with temple complex, restaurants and evening market.

Very attentive and friendly staff. We had room 210, a river view suite which I would strongly recommend for the full riverside experience. Room spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Great location for food, drinks and low-key nightlife at Ram Buttri Alley. Also within easy walking distance to the Grand Palace and several Wats. Hotel pool offers welcome relief after a hot day of exploring with plenty of seating / lounging options. Easy to get Grab taxis to/from airport and other parts of Bangkok. Will definite stay again next time I in Bangkok. Not a cheap option, however offers good value.
