This area is very convenient in Bangkok
Close to some of the major sights to see.
MRT and river transport easily accessible from here
The staff is great - very helpful and with that unique blend of Thai elegance and hospitality.
The rooftop restaurant is very good and the staff here is charming and elegant
A gem on the riverside!
The hotel was amazing, very friendly staff who helped in anyway they could. Excellent location for visiting the major tourist attractions and trips up and down the river
Riva Arun was the perfect place to stay in Bangkok! It was absolutely lovely, and the staff was so kind and helpful. The views of Wat Arun were stunning. It was also within a short walk of so many attractions!
We loved staying at the Riva Arun. The location fantastic. Easy walk to many temples and right in front of the water taxi. Highly recommend staying here.
The hotel is really well placed! So close from the temples!! The view was excellent from some rooms and restaurant in rooftop. Be aware the as from the 3rd floor, you will hear the traffic on the river, even at 4AM…
Wonderful stay, would highly recommend the staff were professional and attentive, the location was perfect and the room was clean, cool and updated. Great hotel!
Very sweet staff. Lovely room overlooking the River. Would definitely stay again

The location is very great. The view from some rooms of the hotel and from the restaurant is wonderful. The staff is so kind and helpful! But the curtain in the shower was stained. And at the 3rd floor, you can hear the boats on the river, even during the night! The A/c in the first room

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.
The view across the river to the Riva Arun temple was exceeded only by the rooftop restaurant view of the Palace & emerald & reclining Buddha temples!!
First of all, the location can’t be beat. The rooms are clean and bed was comfy. There is just no space for luggage. No luggage rack. Feng shui of rooms is terrible. We had to get creative to access our clothing. Other than that, we really liked it.
