Fantastic location in the heart of the Grand Palace and Wat Po Temple. Beautiful property with modern rooms and a great view from the rooftop for breakfast and dinner.
Easy to get to MRT, famous places, 7-11, restaurants and local vendors. View of Wat Arun is beautiful and watching the boats & life on the river is cool.
Staff very friendly and professional.
Loved our stay overall! Amazing and wonderful staff! Great room service! Love the view and location with the river overseeing Wat Arun! Highly recommend!
Excellent service from all of the staff! Our flight was majorly delayed and they were so accomodating with our change in plans. The hotel is in a nice, quiet area with easy access to the temple and grand palace. It was also convient for taking a river taxi. I highly recommend the Riva Arun!
Very nice hotel in great location next to many sights. Staff is very friendly and helpful with whatever you would like to arrange.

We had a wonderful stay at Riva Arun. The staff greeted us immediately after our car arrived, and served us some Thai tea as we checked in. The staff were so kind, friendly and extremely helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. The location is superb - walkable to the Flower market, Wat Pho and the Grand Palace. A ferry stop was just a few steps away from the hotel entrance and took you right across the river to Wat Arun. Plus there are many restaurants to choose from. So convenient! Highly recommend!
Great home base for exploring Bangkok! We were within walking distance to many popular sites. The food and views from the rooftop restaurant were incredible.
Excellent little hotel within walking distance from the main tourist sights and temples. And not too forget 3 very good local restaurants just opposite the main entrance! Would have given a 5 star if the room was a little bit bigger. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They helped us booking transport from Bangkok to the river Kwai without taking any commission. Will definately come back.
Great location. My room had a view of Wat Arun right on the river. Restaurant was delicious. Staff was courteous and nice. Definitely recommend. Was able to walk to all the temples.
The staff was Amazing, helpful and friendly. We stayed at room 203 and it was perfect for my girlfriend and I. The temples are a walking distance and there are shops and restaurants walking distance.
Totally recommend the location and unless you need a swimming pool, this is the undiscovered gem boutique hotel with excellent local restaurants within yards. Close to What Pho, Wat Arun and Grand Palace. The Khoisan Road is only 25 minutes walk away. The area itself is local and great restaurants very close by.
Room was small, but the super attentive staff more than made up for it. Breakfasts on the roof were a great way to start the day.

The property overlooked the river and temples. The temples were all lit up at night and the view was stunning. The hotel was within walking distance of The Grand Palace and ferry stops. There was a really lovely rooftop bar too.
We stayed at Riva Arun in February 2024 and it was fantastic. Great location on the river with an amazing view of the gorgeous Wat Arun and all the colorful river boat traffic at night. So much to do nearby, restaurants, shops, nightlife! We were surprised to get a room upgrade that included a beautiful terrace overlooking the Chao Phraya. Staff was wonderful and rooms luxurious. Would stay here again no question!!!
