During my stay at Riva Surya Bangkok, I was impressed by the perfect service and the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. The location is fantastic, especially for exploring cultural sites and the nearby Khao San Road. However, traveling to major shopping areas did take longer than expected due to traffic, which was a bit frustrating. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with a few minor hiccups.

I stayed in a Riva Room with a river view, and while the room was nicely designed and the bed super comfortable, I wished I'd had a balcony to fully enjoy the stunning views. The room was well-equipped with coffee and water, making it feel like a cozy retreat after long days of exploration.

The staff genuinely made my stay nice. From check-in with friendly receptionists to attentive waitstaff, everyone was incredibly kind. A special thanks to Pui at the front desk, who was simply amazing and went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is right on the river and within walking distance of many cultural attractions, which I loved. It's nestled on a charming, quieter road, Phra Athit, making it feel like a peaceful oasis despite being close to the lively Khao San Road. However, the trip to more commercial areas took longer due to ongoing road construction, so taxis or boats were definitely the better options.

Dining

Breakfast was a good experience, with tasty options available. I filled up on the breakfast buffet each morning, which was well worth it compared to nearby cafes. I appreciated that the dining included vegetarian options, catering to different dietary needs.

The hotel offered great facilities, including in-room dining and an inviting pool area perfect for unwinding. They also provided laundry services and a welcome drink upon arrival, which added a nice touch to my stay. Although I didn't use the spa, I noticed they had a relaxing ambiance and well-prepared Thai massages available.

The pool was a beautiful mosaic oasis, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. However, I wished there was a proper spa area for massages instead of having them set up in the lobby.

I had a lovely stay at Riva Surya Bangkok, with its charming riverfront location and great service from the staff. The rooms were well-furnished and clean, offering a relaxing atmosphere. However, I did find the dining experience to be a bit disappointing, particularly with the dinner options lacking the quality I expected.

The hotel is perfectly located by the Chao Phraya River, just a short distance from Khao San Road. I enjoyed exploring the quieter streets nearby and found it handy to be close to the ferry stop for easy access to sightseeing spots.

While breakfast was good and had a range of options, I was let down by the dinner experience. The duck red curry had tough bits and my samosas felt overly oily, which was a letdown given my expectations for a food-focused stay.

Facilities

I appreciated the small pool and the gym, which I didn’t use much, but I did enjoy a lovely massage. Though the spa setup wasn't as luxurious as I hoped, the massage itself was done well and at a great value.

The food was delicious, especially the breakfast by the river. One downside was the frosted glass bathroom walls that lacked privacy during the night.
