Riva Arun Bangkok Reviews

You have to check in at 2 PM exactly. They'll offer you some snacks and a fragrant tea. This time I stayed on the 3rd and 1st floors, and the views weren't great. The 4th floor has the best views.

The view from the room was just spectacular, from daytime to night time! The staff were very attentive and very kind. Bed was comfy. We didn't have any issues during our stay, and can highly recommend it!

The service was great and the staff very friendly. Great view of the river and wat Arun

The hotel is tucked away in a small alley downtown, right across from Wat Pho. The lobby is small but cozy, and the service is definitely five-star. The room is a bit small but quite new. A couple of things to note: there are many mirrors in the room, which some might find a bit much. Also, the curtains don't close completely (see picture), so the morning sun shines directly into your eyes.

I was warm welcomed & hotel was very close to main attractions. I had a very good stay here🙂Higher the floor you choose you can see the wat arun more clear from the room. Rooftop restaurant is good in there with the good views around of the main attractions & the river.

I stayed here for two nights and honestly regret not staying longer. The staff were enthusiastic and polite, always greeting and helping me out. The room was clean and tidy, and the same goes for the bedsheets and towels. Location-wise, it’s super convenient if you want to visit Wat Pho, Wat Arun, and the Museum. I was given a complimentary voucher for a river sunset cruise, which I was really excited about, but unfortunately, it rained heavily that day so I couldn't go. When checking out, they even gifted me a very cute handwritten thank-you card. If I have the chance to visit Thailand again, I will definitely stay here much longer! The room view looks out over the Chao Phraya River and Wat Arun—so romantic and dreamy. It gave me that magical feeling of being somewhere far away, yet it still felt incredibly cozy and peaceful. Early in the morning, I just lay in bed, watching the sunrise over the river. It was absolutely relaxing.

I love atmosphere in this hotel or decoration areas and scenes of detail so amazing. Love to stay there, staffs are also great with welcoming. Omg I love it

I have to say, the view of Wat Arun across the river is amazing! 👍 You can even see it while lying in bed.

We spent 3 wonderful nights at the River Arun Hotel in Bangkok in the Jacuzzi Suite overlooking the river, and it was such a memorable stay. The suite was spotlessly clean, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and having a private jacuzzi made the room feel extra special. But the real highlight was the view waking up every morning to Wat Arun right across the river was pure magic. Watching the temple change colours at sunrise and then seeing it beautifully lit up at night was something we’ll never forget. The only small issue was the air conditioning, which didn’t quite keep the bedroom as cool as we would have liked. Apart from that, everything else was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. If you’re looking for a lovely riverside stay with one of the best views in Bangkok, we highly recommend the River Arun. We left already wishing we could come back!

They didn't remind us to get our deposit back when checking out, which was a real hassle.

We booked 3 double rooms for our family of 6, 24 hours in Bangkok and I can't say enough about the location of this hotel. The hotel sits right next to the ferry that will take you across the river to Wat Arun and is close to all of the attractions. The rooms were small, not a place you want to lounge in but comfortable for a good nights sleep. Rooms were clean, little dated but our stay was short and the bed was comfortable which was priority. The restaurant on the top level of the hotel was such a nice place to have breakfast which was delicious and the view was lovely. Dinner menu was expensive. The staff were very kind. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would book this hotel again.

Warm hospitality from the staffs, eye catching river view, great location to Wat Arun. Overall it was overwhelming stay around riverside area.

Worth staying!

Very good view of Wat Arun on the rooftop. Heard good reviews of the restaurant, but we didn't get the chance to try. Hotel is right at the doorstep of Rongros and Supanniga Eating Room. There are many eateries nearby as well. Short walk to Wat Pho and metro station. Room is bright and clean. Good service with welcome snack and drinks when check in.
