Stayed there in March before the planned renovations going on in April and have been staying there a few times before during the past 20 years. But time has outrun this place. The terrace is absolutely great and one of the few places in Bangkok with some air that isn't 5-star. The restaurant is good too and Chinatown is still... More

My husband Graham and I stayed here in late February, arriving in Bangkok at 1:30 am after very long flights. We were greeted by the night staff, and taken care of very efficiently. The staff were very friendly and helpful. In spite of the late hour, we sat on our deck overlooking the Chao Praya River, soaking in the sights.... More

Is located in the heart of Bangkok China Town, with nice and friendly stuff, most of them English speaker, clean and with a great asset: the roof terrace and restaurant. The view of Chao Praya River is absolute fabulous, in the day and in the night to. Prices are good and the hotel is close to the river boat stations,... More

I haven't stayed at this guesthouse purely because I live in Bangkok BUT.... If you're looking for a great breezy view of the river, good food and reasonable pricing , the rooftop terrace here - Rivervibe - is a must. Not at all pretentious, one can enjoy a panoramic view of Bangkok and all the dynamic activity on the Chao... More

Our room was a dump, smelt like sewer was dirty and NOT cheap. The guesthouse itself was a dump. The ONLY redeeming quality of this guesthouse was their rooftop bar. I would not recommend this place nor will I go back.

Spent there a few nights. the location is near the riverside 5 minutes from the boat stops, easy to get by boat to the royal palace and temples. Very difficult to get there as Bangkok is a little bit crazy, but once we was there was ok to go back to the train station by foot. 15-20' walk. The area... More

I stayed 3 different times in December and January and had a wonderful time, from the first arrival through to the final check out. The staff were friendly and helpful and the location was spectacular Just a short walk to either the train station or the pier to catch the river ferry. As others have said, the neighborhood is a...

This is not a review of the guest house, only its restaurant on the top floor. The view over the river is very good - and that is about the end of the positive stuff. First, this is a 100% tourist place, hardly a Thai guest in sight. You can guess what implications this has. The district is dirty and... More

I ended up staying at River View Guest House for a total of about 5 weeks (since I was living in Bangkok briefly). I think I can give a fair review of the place since I stayed there for so long. The place was both well located and poorly located in my opinion. The location near to the MRT, main... More
