We stayed here for one night on the way back to Australia. We really enjoyed the stay, the view from our room and the service. All the staff was very friendly and attentive from checking in to checking out. We loved the welcome drinks and Thai biscuits on arrival. We would definitely come back and stay here again next time we are in Bangkok :)

Staff are incredible, very helpful, took care of my bags when i had awkward arrival and departure times for check-in. Room was very nice with a very comfortable bed and a good size shower, room was a bit on the small side but did not matter as was out and about. The restaurant at the top of the building was lovely too with a great view!

I highly recommend this hotel if you want to see the night view of Wat Arun.You can see an amazing night view from your room at a more reasonable price than other hotels on the same line.I heard it was newly built, but the facilities inside were clean, the breakfast wasn't bad, and the staff were very friendly.

The staff is super kind and helpful ❤️ location is wonderful; by the river, right across Wat Arun and two Michelin star restaurants! It’s walking distance to the cute flower market. There is a tasty little coffee shop on the same street for early morning coffee needs. Our stay was just amazing 🤩 It’s a very safe & quiet neighborhood as well. Definitely recommend it if you’d like a nice slow start to your Bangkok trip!

The reviews were very good, but maybe it was the type I was assigned, but it was too narrow for the price. Especially, the sink was outside, and the toilet and shower space were quite small, and the shower curtain stuck to the body when showering, but the space was so small that there was nowhere to escape;;; Well, the water was flowing all the way to the attached bathroom, and it seemed like a little water was leaking out from under the side of the shower booth and overflowing into the room. I chose it because of the view, but I don't know about rooms on higher levels, but the room I went to is honestly not recommended. I wonder if the price is this much for just one view, but there are many hotels with much better conditions for the same price, and it is much narrower than the 1/3 price accommodation I went to previously, and it is very old, and I didn't like it. We recommend that you either be satisfied with everything just by looking at the actual view, or reserve a room of a slightly higher level. The staff is friendly, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace are just a stone's throw away, and Sanamchai Station is within walking distance, so keep that in mind.

Our go to place when staying in Bangkok for a few days or less. The rooms are small, but very smart and well thought out. Staff is impeccable. We had a very early flight one stay, and as promised they had a taxi ready and waiting when checked out very early in the darkness of 5am or so. The rooftop bar has great food and drinks and some outstanding views of the wat and River. Well located for Bangkok, within walking distance to party areas, some great restaurants and the riverboat dock. Cannot recommend enough. We love this place!

This place is a gem. From the moment we stepped into the hotel, the service was exceptional. Location is unbeatable! All the attractions we wanted to see were within close proximity to the hotel. There are two michelin star restaurants right next door, which was a bonus. We tried both the basic room and the deluxe room. The basic room is a bit tight in terms of space, but what it lacks in space was compensated by the staff's exceptional service. The deluxe room offers a spectacular view of the Wat Arun, which was definitely the highlight of our stay. Overall, I highly recommend Riva Arun!

Riva Arun was a phenomenal place to stay!!! It is so close to many of our favorite places in Bangkok (Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun), which made the location ultra-convenient for site-seeing. …
