Spacious modern rooms. Great views of the river. Staff were exceptionally helpful. Great breakfast. Only downside was the party boats going up and down the river in the evening but they were done by 9:00 or so.
Nice property located very close to hop on and off tourist boat. A great way to get around Bangkok and next to Khosan road. Staff are wonderful and very nice breakfast. Would definitely stay here when visiting Bangkok again. A great alternative to larger hotels.
Stay here! You won’t regret it. We had a balcony on the third floor overlooking the river. The room was huge and comfortable and clean. The staff, especially New, was fantastic and friendly. This hotel is the PERFECT location in Bangkok!!!
Great property - well located on the river and easy to get anywhere from the hotel. Staff was great and very friendly. Food at restaurant is good and very reasonable.
The property is one of the best along the river. Great outdoor space with a pool and dining options. Rooms are spacious, clean and have a/c. The staff are so friendly and attentive, and most things ( attractions, street food, restaurants etc) are walkable. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.
Riva Surya staff was tremendously helpful and dedicated to making sure our visit was pleasant. We stayed in an Urban room, which faced the street rather than the river. The room was clean, well equipped and quiet with double glass doors installed. I would highly recommend the hotel. It was very close to the tourist boats pier, which you can take to see the Grand Palace, Chinatown, etc. Across the street from the hotel are various "alleyways" that lead into vibrant restaurant/merchant activities.
From the momemt we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles all round. Nothing was too much trouble. Check in was a breeze. The room was spotless and housekeeping attended every day of our 4 night stay. Do use reception to book a taxi as they arrange for it to be "meter only" which saves you money. Its well situated for all activities and good. A brilliant bolt hole for a Bangkok stay

Great location for things to do and when you book excursions, this property is on the list for pick ups. Pool was pleasant and having the bar right there never hurts!
Perfect room for the start of our honeymoon. Long balcony overlooking the river. Curtains that blocked out the sun. Room was quiet even with parties and boats going on. Staff highly attentive.
Everyone at the property was extremely nice from the porter at the door to housekeeping. They are attentive, always willing to help. I am a solo female traveler and felt extremely safe. The hotel will call a taxi for you and in 2 minutes driver will come to the parking lot. I did not explore the area around the hotel. This hotel is relatively close to the temples, far from the mall BMK. There is a restaurant onsite, I ordered a soup and it was excellent, friend rice was ok, delivery to my room very fast and courteous. My room faces the river. Room is nice and comfortable. Internet is fast
Very clean, comfortable hotel with good facilities and excellent, helpful staff. The room was comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The bar and restaurant were very good also.
The hotel is well located for the royal palace, Khao San Road and river taxis.

Super friendly stuff makes you feel like at home.
Great river views from nicely decorated large room.
Thanks for a special 14 days with you all.
Hope to see you again soon.
Warm welcome from nice staff. But they're a lot of mosquito in room, lobby and outlets. Room condition is very neat and new. Easy to walk around find some good food and cafe around.
The property was crystal clean, staff was very friendly. This was my first stay and I really enjoyed it very much. I loved the fruit basket in the room. There were fresh flowers with some decorations on the room. I enjoyed delicious lemon grass tea on arrival. Overall, the breakfast and food selection were amazing. Smooth check and check out. Pure Bliss
Well trained staff, very helpful with service mind, from the valet parking to front desk. The room is perfect with view of the river plus massive balcony. Nothing to complain. Will definitely come back for next stay.
Nice hotel that was located on the river and in a quiet part of the city. The location made the view from the restaurant and pool at the rear it bit more interesting than some other hotels I have stayed in as the river traffic is always interesting to watch. I felt safe in this part of the city and there was a market and series of shops and restaurants not far from the hotel that I made good use of as I seldom eat in the hotel restaurant and like to go exploring. I also made use of this locations travel agency for a day trip as it has a much greater selection at a much lower price than those offered by the hotel. I would stay here again.
The property is beautiful; from the lobby to the rooms to the pool. It is clean and lovely. Looking out over the river from the rooms is great, however, the river is exceptionally noisy and the room sound-proofing is inadequate. With the turndown service they supply earplugs, with good reason. The dinner cruises up and down the river have music pumping and the barges are very noisy. The curtains were also not designed in a way to be blackout and plenty of light comes in the edges. So whilst being comfortable and pretty, the sleep quality is not good. The breakfast buffet also looked a bit sad (but I didn't eat). The iced latte I had by the pool was excellent.
The gym has one crosstrainer and one treadmill. The treadmill is of decent quality and the room is well airconditioned.
