We stayed at Riva Arun in February 2024 and it was fantastic. Great location on the river with an amazing view of the gorgeous Wat Arun and all the colorful river boat traffic at night. So much to do nearby, restaurants, shops, nightlife! We were surprised to get a room upgrade that included a beautiful terrace overlooking the Chao Phraya. Staff was wonderful and rooms luxurious. Would stay here again no question!!!

This was an exceptional experience due mainly to the excellent staff who were attentive and caring at every turn. I witnessed them behaving in this exemplary fashion to every guest. Really excellent. It would be good to have drinking water refill points to reduce the use of plastic bottles but the hotel and staff were brilliant in every other regard.

By the pics online I thought the hotel was right on the water, it is not. There is a restaurant in front of it. The hotel rooftop view is the view online. Great view from up there. Staff was helpful, room was clean and the shower was great. No problem getting hot water.

This is the very best hotel I’ve ever stayed in, in all my travels around Asia. The staff are incredibly kind and guest-obsessed. As a boutique hotel with only 25 rooms, they are able to learn about each guest, like remembering 2 nights later that hubby & I like our cocktails with less/ no added sweetness. The reception staff are friendly and welcoming and the housekeeping team keep the room spotless. The crisp, freshly pressed bed linens are sure to impress! Would live here if I could. ❤️

A Great Hotel at a Good Price
The hotel is very clean, the staff are polite, attentive and always greet you with a smile. The location is excellent if, like me you want to see the Grand Palace, The Reclining Buddha and other nearby temples. The location is safe. I would definitely stay here again.

This one is special because it is situated across the river from the amazing Wat Arun, and the room I had looked directly at it, lit up at night, it’s an amazing way to ease into your Bangkok trip. It’s also conveniently located a 2 min walk to Wat Pho where you can catch the reclining Buddha and other neat temple and/or river taxi attractions. Special mention for the staff who were very kind and helpful!

Fab, but...
This is a great small hotel, the premium jacuzzi rooms are superb. The only letdown is check-in, it took almost hale an hour. There were at least six staff there more interested in serving iced coffee. I had to ask FOUR times before someone finally did what was needed, three minutes work took half an hour, very poor front of house with staff acting like children and no-one knowing what anyone was doing.

Great location, Amazing Staff, OK room
For tourist purposes, this was a great location with most of the main tourist sights within walking distance. The room is smaller than it appeared in the pictures - especially the bathroom. I was not a fan of all of the mirrors but I guess it does help make the room reel a little bigger. Our room did have an amazing view of Wat Arun across the river which is why I am giving this place 4 stars instead of three. It is located on little one-way street, and it seemed like we had to walk past a lot of garbage on the block to get to our hotel. In hindsight, I would have made the taxi driver take us to the front door of the hotel when we first arrived so we would have had a better first impression. The room was cleaner than it felt at first too. There was discoloration on the door and frame which may have been just a poor choice in paint colors. I wiped the room down with cleanup sheets, and it was still pretty clean afterwards. The toilet and shower in the small bathroom are separated by a shower curtain which also looked dirty. With all of the negative stuff out of the way, I have to say that the staff was amazingly helpful with any questions about the hotel, restaurants, and visiting the nearby sites. Speaking of restaurants, there two really good ones right across the street; Supanniga and Rongos. I have to say that if I were to return to Bangkok, I would try to find a more modern hotel in a different location.
