Regardless of the renovation currently in progress (a good sign!), the Riva Surya remains consistent in its remarkably delightful service, impeccably maintained rooms and exceptional value for price. Brilliant breakfast on the river as well. 'Always look forward this wonderful respite!

My Premium Riva Room, which I booked directly to the hotel, overlooked a noisy construction site that used to be the swimming pool. Not impressed at all.

If you are looking to book a hotel where you can get a good night’s rest, stray away from this hotel. My husband and I booked this hotel based upon the glowing reviews about staff and the location, but we had by far the worst experience at a hotel.We stayed for one night and were awakened by VERY loud neighbors at about 12:30/1:00 a.m. They were so loud that they woke me up from my sleep, and I’d consider myself a pretty heavy sleeper. After arguing for quite awhile, it turned into a physical altercation where we could hear significant force being used and a clear struggle. Men were yelling in Thai and a woman screamed “HELP” in English multiple times. We called the front desk to send help. Then, the struggle suddenly stopped and a man yelled in English “WE HAVE TO CALL THE POLICE.” Meanwhile, I hid in the back corner of our “four star hotel” room for about 30-45 minutes - scared to death. My husband prepared for an intruder. The arguments again ensued, and front desk didn’t answer any more phone calls. We had no idea if we were safe. From our balcony window, we could see 6-7 police arrive and arrest two men. We called front desk again about an hour after we first called, and they finally answered and said it’s fine. They never returned our previous caller or otherwise let us know that the issue was resolved. Frankly, they seemed annoyed we called back - but we needed to know whether we could stop hiding and get back in bed and try to sleep.Staff was wrong - it was not fine. Around 3:00 a.m. my husband was awakened by more bickering and arguing - we think by the same people. This continued until about 5:00 a.m. when my husband was finally able to sleep. The hotel staff was wrong and either did not have all parties involved in the incident removed OR (even worse) another group of rowdy/dangerous guests were staying here. We did not feel safe at all, and we are not sure what kind of guests are also staying at this hotel marketed as luxurious and safe for families.Even if you’re willing to risk your life and stay here - the facilities are not quite as nice as the photos and the staff upon check in was not that friendly. They offered welcome drinks and smiles to other guests but not us for some reason. I am giving two stars because the water pressure in the shower is pretty great, however, the shower would nearly flood because it did not drain quickly enough. Also, the breakfast options and staff working in the restaurant were great, along with the staff at checkout who called us a taxi to leave. However, I’d rather not take a gamble as to which staff is working and therefore whether I’ll have a good experience. There are better places to stay for the money you pay.

If you are in Bangkok do not look at other options just book Riva Surya, the best service and hospitality from the staff. Lovely location, lovely food, just a 100/100. Even though the pool is under maintenance they had the courtesy of compensating with a discount offer which shows their commitment to give a good experience to their customers.We are on our honeymoon and would definitely come back to riva surya when in bangkok
