Riva Arun Bangkok

Riva Arun is a small, excellent Boutique Hotel with a stunning rooftop-bar/restaurant. The rooms are nice & clean, with direct view of beautiful Wat Arun. The rooftop-terrace offers stunning views in different directions and counts surely to the top 10 nicest places in BKK if you ask me. Food & drinks are also delicious at the rooftop-restaurant. All the staff is very friendly & helpful. Location of „Riva Arun“ is very nice, lots of interesting things to do around… We really enjoyed our stay there and would always come back.

We would like to thank very much the 3 guys at the reception who helped us weigh such heavy suitcases, they were very kind and helpful, thank you! I really liked the location- close to the historic centre, metro, 7/11, flower market, restaurants, massage, tuk tuk, and the view of Wat Arun.

We loved this hotel. It's located opposite one of the must-do temples and the ferry-taxi. From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out, the staff were outstanding and we were happy guests. The room was airy and well-equipped. We had a view of the temple and the river which was great. We had drinks on the rooftop bar which has a fabulous view. The location is not in the city centre. We didn't know this when we booked, but we were grateful for the quiet location and wonderful local restaurants. It's also close to the must-do Grand Palace and Reclining Buddha. We wouldn't have changed a thing.

We wanted to stay near the water so we could visit temples and sites easily, and this hotel really delivered. It's walking distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and an easy ferry ride to Wat Arun, from which the hotel gets its name. You can see Wat Arun from your window (or from the rooftop terrace where breakfast is served). Service was impeccable. The rooms were a bit small but very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was great (a mix of buffet and food to order), and it comes with a great view of the river and surrounding temples.

Our room had its own rooftop view of Wat Arun from the balcony jacuzzi. Service for front desk staff was amazing and made us feel pampered from the welcome tea to the offer to send us the sunglasses we accidentally left behind when we departed for home. We were also directly across the street from two Michelin recommended rooftop restaurants with fabulous Thai food and cocktails. This hotel was our most expensive while in Thailand, but it made for memorable stay.
