Hotel located right on the river and looked impressive as we approached over the bridge and our river view room with balcony was large and clean. However vehicle/pedestrian access is through a dodgy back street and located in a down at heels area with nothing to interest foreign tourists. A lot of international guests as appears to cater for coach/group... More

So this hostel is not clean at all, with old furnitures / floors with dirty sheets / walls / Bathroom.. We left our suitcases locked (with a cheap lock) in our room for 1 day, and when we came back it was opened!! the hostel situation is not ideal neither, you'll need to take boat or taxi to go to...

Stayed at Royal River a few months ago. Very disappointed in the food at the rest. downstairs. The absolute worse Thai food in Thailand, and wait staff never asked why we didn't eat it or if they could do something. The people working at the desk said they could assist in English, but this was definitely not the case. Had... More

We recently stayed a whole week at Royal River Hotel. Impeccably clean, very courteous staff and good food. We stayed at the Royal Suite which had a beautiful view of the beautiful Chao Phraya river flowing through Bangkok. Both the day and night views from our suite were absolutely breathtaking.

LOCATION: Many have complained about d location, or d age of d hotel. Dont expect 5* when U R paying 3* prices. Royal River is a little off d beaten track, about 30minutes by taxi from Paragon. Thats fine with me, coz taxi fare is usually only baht100 n traffic isnt usually that bad (after 10am n before 4pm). True,... More

I have been staying at the Royal River Hotel in Bangkok for nearly 20 years. Since I moved to Thailand and, more recently, I have stayed at RRH on average for 1-2 weeks each month for many months. I have recommended the hotel to countless friends and family, many of whom have actually stayed there. I am well known to... More

As other reviews here will attest the Royal River Hotel has seen better days, and its shift from die-hard business travelers to tour groups of ever-loud and ever-arrogant Chinese, German and French tourists has made the atmosphere less palatable then in years past. That said, it is still an excellent business hotel with great service from wonderful bellhops, solid front... More

We stayed at the Royal River for 3 nights. I would say the hotel is good (better than average but not quite very good) - we booked in a hurry and it did the job. I'm sure if you looked around you could get somewhere better, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if you stayed here. Good... More

I can't really understand why anyone would want to stay here unless they got a rock bottom priced deal. Bangkok is brimful of great hotels and I'm sure that plenty of them would do deals to make this place absolutely avoidable. I was here on business...courtesy of the client, I may say...and I'll never be back. As a business hotel... More
