Tongtara Riverview Hotel Reviews

The room facilities are similar to economy hotels back home, but they are a bit dated. They offer complimentary water and coffee daily and tidy up the room. There's a small pool on the fifth floor. The hotel is a ten-minute walk from Asiatique (the Ferris wheel night market). There's a 7-Eleven and a Big C supermarket nearby. Most of the food options are local eateries with a limited menu, and Thai portions are quite small. If you head to Asiatique for dinner, you'll find a wider variety, but the prices are comparable to major cities in China.

Great hotel, beautiful lobby. Nice place to spend time rooms are larger than than normal. Clean with a large bathroom, very good location, near night market.

With this accommodation you’re paying for the proximity to the river and shopping area. The bathroom could use a scrub and the curtains and linens could be updated as they are stained and shredding. The safe is not functional and should probably be removed along with the water stained art. The pool and gym open at 10am and the restaurant is from 1pm to 4pm. The bar is always open. I found it safe for a solo female traveler often walking to shops and river

The room is spacious with a beautiful river view. It also has a swimming pool and a gym, definitely worth a stay.

Value for the Money if you consider that is nearby Malate Church, rooms need a bit of renovation but it's Ok

Disappointed and Disrespected – A Shocking Decline at Tongtara Hotel I’m writing this review with deep disappointment after my second stay at Tongtara Hotel. Our first visit last year was genuinely wonderful—great service, warm hospitality, and a memorable experience. Sadly, this time was the complete opposite. We arrived at 13:00, only to be met with indifference. No welcome drink, no greeting—just a curt instruction to sit on the sofa and wait until 15:00. Meanwhile, other guests were treated to drinks and ushered into the lounge. The contrast was glaring and frankly insulting. When we finally received our room, it was configured with one proper bed and a flimsy extra mattress that wouldn’t be suitable for a toddler, let alone an adult. We contacted reception to request a change, and that’s when things took a turn for the worse. A staff member named Namphol responded with hostility and zero professionalism. Instead of resolving the issue calmly, she became visibly agitated, raised her voice, and acted as though our presence was a personal inconvenience. Her behavior was appalling—lacking basic courtesy, empathy, or any sense of customer service. She refused to let us speak to a manager and insisted that she was the only person we could deal with. That’s not just bad service—it’s a power trip. To make matters worse, we lost $200 USD from the drawer, 1,000 THB, and a Liverpool shirt worth nearly 12,000 THB. When we tried to address this, we were met with more aggression. Namphol even whispered to the housekeeping staff, saying, “If they’re not happy, why the hell are they here? Leave!”—with our door wide open. That level of disrespect is beyond unacceptable. Ultimately, she forced us to leave the hotel. Yes, forced. As if she owned the place and we were trespassing. Her behavior was disgraceful, and if Tongtara Hotel values its reputation, they need to seriously reconsider who they allow to represent them. To the management: You have a duty to ensure your staff treat guests with dignity and respect. What we experienced was not just poor service—it was outright hostility. Tongtara used to be a place we recommended. Now, we’ll be warning others to stay away.

My son and wife stayed for one night they could not get in the room till 3pm but website says 2pm !  Once in the room NO WI-FI. Reported it but nothing could be done my son was not happy , and don’t book a river view room because you won’t see the river only a bridge won’t be staying here again 

Old hotel. The receptionist is not that accommodating. She's a bit rude

There were lot of birds poops on fit glasses windows ! Disgusting sights ! 2 double black rubber pipes laying next to tub don’t know what for ? No tea bag ? only coffee !

Good view

Hotel was perfectly situated for Asiatique. The hotel room was a good size and we stayed in the riverview room on the 12th floor which had amazing views of the river and the city. Although the room was clean and of a good size it was a bit outdated and could do with a good renovation and updated. The breakfast was of a good standard with a good choice of food. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would I stay there again ? Probably 👍🏻

Tongtara Hotel is conveniently located near Asiatique, walking distance of about 500m. The hotel offers breakfast with a good selection of local Thai food. The rooms are big (compared to other hotel rooms within Bangkok) and are clean. If available, ask for rooms with river view so you can see the Bangkok night lights much better.

A quiet hotel. It’s next to the river. It has a great gymnasium and the pool is good.

Good location Clean Near the city I recommend it.
