Riva Arun Bangkok

Riva Arun Bangkok

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay here. From the amazing view of the stupa and river to the comfortable bed and air-con to the excellent breakfasts, but mostly to the kindness of the staff, it was perfect. Just so you know, it is hot outside (late October), but so has it been every place we have traveled lately."

"The staff at restaurant and hotel are awesome. When I go back to Bangkok, Thailand this is were I will stay. My one and only complaint is, my debit card was not returned to me by an outside ATM machine. I needed help with finding out where to go to notify the bank associated with the ATM and got no help from front desk clerks. I wasn't asking for financial assistance only what bank branch the ATM machine was connected with."
