Great location to all nearby temple attractions. Staff very helpful with taxi setup and guidance on using metro and ferry service. Amazing view of the temple light show at night. Lovely breakfast buffet selections. Good location for first time visitors to Bangkok
Fantastic location. We really enjoyed the view of the river and Wat Arun from our room. Beautiful at night. Breakfast at the rooftop restaurant was very good.
Found the lighting controls for the room quite unusual. The room is quite small, hardly could walk around the bed. The bathroom area is very large. Wonderful staff, enjoyed our stay.
The hotel is amazing value for the location, within walking distance of Wat Pho, the Grand Palace and the Rainer Chao Praya River Express boat stop. Their staff are welcoming, friendly, and went the extra mile in serving us, starting with a slice of cake to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The view at night from the rooftop restaurant over the river of Wat Arun, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace are astounding! We had a Deluxe river-facing room on the 3rd floor with a great view of Wat Arun. The restaurants below close at 10pm so we had peaceful nights sleep. The food was really good, equivalent in taste to the Michelin star restaurant opposite ( Rongros). A fantastic experience all round!

Superb service can’t make up for small rooms
Fantastic service but small room taken up mostly by bed. No chairs to sit. Walking distance to key tourist locations if you can tolerate the heat. Several restaurants In neighborhood.

The view across the river to the Riva Arun temple was exceeded only by the rooftop restaurant view of the Palace & emerald & reclining Buddha temples!!

Very convenient location with beautiful views from rooms and rooftop restaurant! Room are small but have everything you need and the staff is incredibly dedicated and helpful.
One of the best view in Bangkok! Easy river transportation, close to Royal Palace and Wats. The staff were friendly and took the extra step to be helpful. A true gem in Bangkok.
This is a real gem in Bangkok, the location is just perfect, every historic site and temple is within walking distance, the roof top is very nice, with great views at day and night, a bunch of good food options around the hotel, tuk tuk service in the corner, the staff was very friendly with great attention to details
Fantastic location in the heart of the Grand Palace and Wat Po Temple. Beautiful property with modern rooms and a great view from the rooftop for breakfast and dinner.
Easy to get to MRT, famous places, 7-11, restaurants and local vendors. View of Wat Arun is beautiful and watching the boats & life on the river is cool.
Staff very friendly and professional.
Loved our stay overall! Amazing and wonderful staff! Great room service! Love the view and location with the river overseeing Wat Arun! Highly recommend!
Excellent service from all of the staff! Our flight was majorly delayed and they were so accomodating with our change in plans. The hotel is in a nice, quiet area with easy access to the temple and grand palace. It was also convient for taking a river taxi. I highly recommend the Riva Arun!
Very nice hotel in great location next to many sights. Staff is very friendly and helpful with whatever you would like to arrange.

We had a wonderful stay at Riva Arun. The staff greeted us immediately after our car arrived, and served us some Thai tea as we checked in. The staff were so kind, friendly and extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The location is superb - walkable to the Flower market, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. A ferry stop was just a few steps away from the hotel entrance and took you right across the river to Wat Arun. Plus there are many restaurants to choose from. So convenient! Highly recommend!
Great home base for exploring Bangkok! We were within walking distance to many popular sites. The food and views from the rooftop restaurant were incredible.
