We stayed here the first week of June at the end of our honeymoon. I was really looking forward to staying at this hotel, but it was a huge letdown. First, it is supposed to be a luxury hotel, but it was actually more like a cheap motel. The rooms were very small, and terribly decorated. I'm not one to... More

I've stayed at Navalai twice. It's a solid hotel choice in Bangkok with a great location. The hotel's best feature is far and away the rooftop pool. As other reviewers pointed out (and I agree), the hotel isn't the best value for Bangkok. Plus, I wouldn't describe it as a "luxury" experience as the owners position it to be on... More

We loved this place, really close to the madness but far enought away to be peaceful. Pool on the roof is great, staff are nice and friendly, food was good and the ambience and decor is nice and calming. 5 mins walk from Khoa San road. Id stay here again if I ever went to Bangkok again.

The best thing about the Navalai is the location. you can save an absolute fortune by jumping n the river boats that stop right outside where you will be having breakfast. this is simply the best and cheapest way to get around Bangkok and see the major sights. its located about 10 minutes walk away from Koh San road if...

Wanted to stay on the river this time, so chose this hotel. First night we were on the street which is really too noisy with the bar across the road, and the security door would not close at all. Moved to a river room, which was quite nice, big and comfortable. Next night moved to another corner room and whilst... More

Nice sized hotel. Reasonable sized rooms (we booked serene corner) I have been reading about people suggesting to book room roadside as balcony is bigger etc etc....
