I had a wonderful stay here. The room was beautifully designed, clean, and very comfortable. The bed was so comfortable that I had a really good night’s sleep. The staff were polite, friendly, and very attentive. I truly appreciated how well they took care of me throughout my stay. The location is also very convenient, with several interesting places and attractions nearby. Overall, it was a lovely and relaxing experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to come back again.

This was our second time staying at the Riva Surya. We really enjoyed our stay there and would love to come back. The hotel’s location is fantastic! The boat dock is right nearby, and there are plenty of dining options in the area. The room is spacious enough for a short stay, well-equipped, and offers a great view of the Chao Phraya River. The only thing that could be improved: more storage space for clothes in the closet. We left everything in our suitcase, so it was fine.|The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet offers a wide selection of Thai and continental dishes. It was also important to us that there was a pool, which we enjoyed using. It could be heated a bit warmer, though. We had a voucher for a sunset tour on a longtail boat. We took this tour on the last evening of our stay. It was well worth it!|All in all, we felt very comfortable at this hotel!

An authentic and a comfortable stay in Bangkok. A charming boutique hotel with courteous and friendly staff, well- furnished rooms and a welcoming atmosphere. We also loved staying in Bangkok’s Old Town, with its colourful neighbourhoods and easy access to the major temples and Chinatown. Breakfast was perhaps a little below the standard set by the rest of the hotel, although the abundance of excellent dining options nearby more than made up for it. Be sure to take advantage of the lovely riverside boardwalk, perfect for a leisurely stroll, and enjoy a drink by the river while watching the boats go by — a wonderful way to soak up Bangkok’s atmosphere.

Riva Surya Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was spotless and noticeably larger than most we've stayed in across Asia, which was a welcome surprise. The location is fantastic, and the service throughout our stay was excellent from start to finish.We were very impressed with the food. Watching the dinner cruise boats and water taxis with the stunning suspension bridge as a backdrop was very entertaining.It added a truly special atmosphere to our stay.We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Riva Surya and would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended!

Lovely, chilled, boutique hotel. We chose a balcony view over the river and great to sit out. Bed was so, so comfortable in a large well appointed room. Swimming pool and lounges, breakfast choices (hot and cold) and a fantastic gym made my stay. Plenty of shops and places to eat nearby - walk into the laneways. Approx 2 km to nearest MRT, but close to river boats. I love to walk places, so really enjoyed our 3 night hotel stay here.

Our second stay at this lovely location. Each time we chose a river front room & both times rooms have been very spacious, clean & the bed is super comfortable. It would be a great addition if they added some sort of fan out on the balcony as it is quite closed in and can very hot, almost too uncomfortable to sit out there for very long. Hotel is in a great location to the great alley ways behind that host hundreds of restaurants, shopping & massage. Breakfast is very good & the staff are always so friendly & helpful. Making you feel like a very valued guest. Will definitely stay again when we are in Bangkok.

We’ve stayed at Riva Surya three or four times now, and every stay has been wonderful. All of the staff are exceptionally friendly and always welcome us with a smile. The pool is always beautifully maintained, the rooms are in excellent condition, and everything you need is provided, so you can simply show up and enjoy a comfortable, relaxing stay. Our first visit was as a couple, and this time we stayed with the whole family. No matter who we travel with, Riva Surya has always been a great choice. Great location, wonderful accommodation, and genuinely friendly staff. We especially love Man — he always makes us feel so welcome! Riva Surya has truly become our home away from home in Bangkok.

We had a wonderful stay at Riva Surya Bangkok. Before our arrival, we asked if it might be possible to have a room on a higher floor. The hotel kindly accommodated our request and even gave us a room with a beautiful view. We really appreciated their thoughtfulness. What impressed us most was the kindness of the staff. We are not very confident speaking English, but everyone was incredibly patient, friendly, and helpful. They always made us feel comfortable and welcome. Thanks to the wonderful staff, we were able to truly enjoy our stay in Bangkok. We would definitely love to stay at Riva Surya Bangkok again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

Where can I eat near Riva Surya Bangkok?

Right on Phra Athit Road, the hotel's Babble & Grill serves riverside barbecue like 12-hour smoked brisket, Wagyu steak, and ribs, with a Cafe and Bar for lighter bites. A short stroll brings you to Banglamphu Market, known for its street food, Thai desserts, and snacks. The surrounding shophouses hold numerous local restaurants and cafés. For more options, the area near Khao San Road, a short walk away, has many eateries. You'll have plenty of choices without going far from the hotel.

What is the area around Riva Surya Bangkok like?

You're in the heart of Bangkok's Old Town, right on the Chao Phraya River. Phra Athit Road just outside is filled with cafes, bars, and local restaurants, and it's a short walk to Khao San Road for a lively scene. The Banglamphu market streets are nearby, and Santichaiprakarn Park with Phra Sumen Fort is close. From here, The Grand Palace is a 17-minute walk and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is 15 minutes away. The river pier is about a three-minute walk, making it easy to explore further.

How do I get to Riva Surya Bangkok from the airport or main train station?

From Suvannabhumi airport, take the expressway and exit at Yommaraj onto Pitsanulok Road. Drive to the end, turn left onto Samsen Road, and continue straight to the Banglumpu intersection. Turn left onto Phra Sumen Road; after about 500 metres you'll pass Phra Sumen Fort on your right, and Riva Surya is on the right. The hotel sits on Phra Athit Road along the Chao Phraya River.

What's there to do near Riva Surya Bangkok in the evening?

Evenings here are lively right outside. Stroll along Phra Athit Road, where old shophouses hold bars with live pop, rock and jazz music. The hotel's own Riverside Bar and The Bar at Petit Soleil face the river for sunset cocktails. Khao San Road, a five-minute walk away, fills with street stalls and shops. For something different, catch a Chao Phraya Express boat from the nearby pier for a riverside view after dark. The hotel's bar is a relaxed spot to start your night.

Is Riva Surya Bangkok a good base for exploring Bangkok?

Yes, it is a great base for Bangkok's historic heart. The Grand Palace is a 17-minute walk, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha a 15-minute walk, and Wat Phra Chetuphon a 22-minute walk, so you can cover the Old Town on foot. For farther sights like Wat Arun (2.1 km) or Chinatown (2.9 km), use the river boats or a taxi. Close by, Chatuchak Weekend Market is reachable from Thonburi Station. The hotel's riverside position makes water transport your simple way to reach the wider city. It's a practical starting point for both walking and longer trips.
