Hotel Riva Arun, Bangkok

Had a lovely room looking directly over the river Staff are excellent at the hotel Great place to stay

Fabulous location opposite Wat Arun, we had a jacuzzi suite which was perfect to watch the sunset. Close to all the attractions. The restaurant was amazing. Great quality food. Staff were all very friendly. The jacuzzi suite was stunning. Well worth paying extra for.

Nothing, it was perfect for a 1 night stay.

The location was excellent, the reception staff very efficient and helpful. Rooms were good, lovely food at restaurant. All exceeded our expectations

Comfortable room with crazy view of wat arun. Excellent restaurant. Kind and attentive staff

N/a

The view from the rooftop restaurant was exceptional. The staff were even better. We were treated wonderfully! The location is ideal to get around the city

I misread the description, not understanding that the pool and exercise room were located at their sister property instead of the property itself. The room was smaller than our expectations (although adequate for the area, I am told) and a bit challenging to unpack.

Views and the location, the hotel was also very clean and pretty inside and staff very friendly and helpful

The room we had was a little small but nothing w couldn’t manage

Staff were superb, locating our lost baggage and being generally excellent in all services.

The location was great close to all city sites..the service was excellent 👌..the top roof restaurant has a beautiful view of the city sites..

Great staff - very helpful and friendly , room Was ( as always) very good . Close by to everything

This time we had some glitches with room electricals - but they fixed the issue quickly ( kudos to the staff for that )

Location Super comfy bed View

Breakfast was included in our rate but they charged us for it

Great hotel with amazing friendly staff. We was checked in by Pink who was great and very informative and professional.

Best view and location of bangkok! The staff was gentle, and always helpful with our questions about the city. You can’t miss the breakfast with the view of Wat Arun, We loved this hotel!

Location & value

N/A

This is a great boutique hotel with a fabulous location next to the river and in a short walking distance to the royal palace and great restaurants. Our room was comfortable and well equipped. The staff was professional and helpful ready to assist us with all of our needs. We will certainly return when we are back in Bangkok

The only minor problem was that the isolation of noise was not great and you can hear your neighbors if they are very loud.

We loved this hotel. It's located opposite one of the must-do temples and the ferry-taxi. From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out, the staff were outstanding and we were happy guests. The room was airy and well-equipped. We had a view of the temple and the river which was great. We had drinks on the rooftop bar which has a fabulous view. The location is not in the city centre. We didn't know this when we booked, but we were grateful for the quiet location and wonderful local restaurants. It's also close to the must-do Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

Nothing. Very happy.

The property was beautiful! The room had great amenities and there was a rooftop bar with a magnificent skyline of the city with its beautifully lit up temples at night. The staff were very helpful and the service was top notch! The breakfast had many delicious options and it was in a prime location close to most of the major temples and other attractions. We came for our honeymoon and the staff gave us a special treat to celebrate, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again! We highly recommend the Riva Arun Bangkok!

Just amazing in every way!!

They followed my request! I requested elephant shaped towels! They did a great job!

I liked everything about the property. The location straight across from Wat Arun to how comfortable the bed was . So soft I just sunk into it which I liked. And staff were 10/10 couldn’t flaw it.

Nothing

We wanted to stay near the water so we could visit temples and sites easily, and this hotel really delivered. It's walking distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and an easy ferry ride to Wat Arun, from which the hotel gets its name. You can see Wat Arun from your window (or from the rooftop terrace where breakfast is served). Service was impeccable. The rooms were a bit small but very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was great (a mix of buffet and food to order), and it comes with a great view of the river and surrounding temples.

Riva Arun is a small, excellent Boutique Hotel with a stunning rooftop-bar/restaurant. The rooms are nice & clean, with direct view of beautiful Wat Arun. The rooftop-terrace offers stunning views in different directions and counts surely to the top 10 nicest places in BKK if you ask me. Food & drinks are also delicious at the rooftop-restaurant. All the staff is very friendly & helpful. Location of „Riva Arun“ is very nice, lots of interesting things to do around… We really enjoyed our stay there and would always come back.

Location is so convenient with a private pier to take a taxi to Wat Arun and an amazing view, especially from the rooftop restaurant. Comfortable bed and clean and modern room. The staff was extremely helpful and set us up with a private boat rental/tour.

Room was really small and hard to move around in with two people--no place to put your suitcases, but otherwise we loved it!

The staff, view and location

Location was awesome - walking distance to grand palace and Wat Pho. Roof top restaurant was superb - couldn’t get a better view! Staff were superb! Went out of their way to make sure everything went to plan.

Rooms are a little compact but served its purpose well for our one night stay.

Location location location!

The space was tight.

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable.

Was kind of loud with our room being right over the street and restaurants on the river.

The staff were SO welcoming and kind! The view from the roof is exceptional! The hotel and room was perfectly clean!

I like that’s it’s close to the popular temples, flower market and had a hot tub in the balcony. The staff was very friendly and the food was good.

The room decor is a bit old dilapidated. I think a paint job with better colors would be good and the view from the balcony is greatly obstructed by the bushes while sitting in the hot tub and chairs. That was disappointing.

Excellent location for visiting the majority of cultural/historic sites with river ferry just across the road

Would benefit from a swimming pool, but we knew it didn’t have one when we booked

Location is great, close to historical places of interests, like wat arun, grand royal palace, wat pho, and a couple of great Michelin guide restaurants.

The rooms are very very small. The bathroom and shower seem to be built in a closet space. And the temperature of the shower water is not stable - sometimes too hot that it can burn you and sometimes too cold.

We had great 1 night stay at this hotel, opposite to hotel are 2 Michelin restaurants. Temples are located within walking distance.

Exellent staff, escpesially Pink who was very welcoming and friendly. Loved the location by all attractions. Calm place and good standard.

Loved everything.

The location was perfect to visit temples. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Beautiful place.

Everything, staff were always very helpful, friendly. Room was clean with an amazing view

N/A

Our room had its own rooftop view of Wat Arun from the balcony jacuzzi. Service for front desk staff was amazing and made us feel pampered from the welcome tea to the offer to send us the sunglasses we accidentally left behind when we departed for home. We were also directly across the street from two Michelin recommended rooftop restaurants with fabulous Thai food and cocktails. This hotel was our most expensive while in Thailand, but it made for memorable stay.

Though the service was excellent at the restaurant, the food at breakfast was bland and just ok- other more budget friendly hotels we stayed at had better Asian and western food options. I feel like this could be improved upon. However, we did order cocktails from the restaurant via room service and the service was once again excellent and the cocktails tasty and very nicely presented.

Great location, especially in the heat. Room overlooking river - fabulous Nice breakfast Staff were just so lovely - nothing too much trouble Great views from restaurant Very very comedy bed

Service at breakfast for omelette a little slow, esp as they were that busy..

Beautiful view of wat pho and wat Arun, very beautiful place to stay and staff are very friendly and kind, will definitely be staying there everytime I come back

Nothing everything was great

The service & staff were excellent, room was great. excellent location, everything you need to do is around you.

The shower, the floor tiles are totally the wrong type of tiles, really, really slippery, i fell over & bruised my hip. I had a shower first, luckily, I laid two towels in the shower for my wife, so she wouldn't slip.

Everything it was amazing

Nothing at all!

Lots within walking distance and beautiful view of Wat Arun. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel gives a wonderful welcome drink upon arrival.

A little far from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. You have to take a taxi to get to main tourist places such as Khao San Road however there are lots of temples and restaurants that are walking distance.

Excellent location.

Lookmon was a great person. She made us very comfortable and was very friendly.

Amazing location, lovely staff, gorgeous decor, great breakfast. All round, fabulous stay.

Would have liked breakfast included in the price.

Excellent location with fantastic views

The staff at Riva Arun were so kind and friendly! We had a lovely room overlooking the river with a beautiful view of Wat Arun, as requested. We ate at their rooftop dining room for breakfast and dinner, which had breathtaking views of the city and Wat Arun. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho Temple, our favorite! We were also within walking distance to the pier which takes ferry taxis across to Wat Arun.

We would like to thank very much the 3 guys at the reception who helped us weigh such heavy suitcases, they were very kind and helpful, thank you! I really liked the location- close to the historic centre, metro, 7/11, flower market, restaurants, massage, tuk tuk, and the view of Wat Arun.

The room is small, next time we will take a bigger room and the bed is uncomfortable.

Riva Arun is even better than advertised. The room, the staff and the restaurant all provided a very high standard - at a reasonable price

Nice location, clean room, friendly and helpful staff

Small room, limited breakfast options

Everything, this place is special.
