Riva Surya Bangkok is often described as a beautiful and modern hotel in a fantastic location right on the Chao Phraya River, offering great value. The rooms are a good size, super clean, and some feature balconies with sofas and tables, providing relaxing river views. The hotel has an attractive outdoor area with a nice pool; however, some guests have noted that noise from the nearby bridge can sometimes be an issue. With many restaurants and cafes nearby, plus easy access to the local ferry, it's a very convenient spot.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

late housekeepingbad massage
the housekeeping missed our room multiple times, and that really got on my nerves. even with the 'make up room' sign out every morning, it was often late. i also booked a massage thinking it would be relaxing, but there isn't a spa. the room they used was right off the lobby and just had a lounger. it's a really bad massage experience.

SUPER stay by the river

polite staffsuper comfy beds
The staff were kind. They accommodated every request I made. The rooms were super clean, and the beds had very comfy mattresses. I found the service perfect. Everyone was courteous.
Expect at least a thirty-minute car ride to other areas.
