What guests think

At The Royal River Hotel, travelers consistently praise the spacious rooms and balconies with excellent river views, along with generally friendly service and decent value, while noting the property feels older and the riverside location is away from central sights.

Breakfast and dining feedback is mixed, and Wi-Fi is described as slow with frequent log-ins in multiple reviews. Some guests report evening noise from the riverside venues on lower floors and occasional language barriers or inconsistent helpfulness at the desk. Housekeeping is generally good, though guests mention stained carpets and sporadic maintenance issues such as inconsistent hot water or missing hand soap. Expect large river-view rooms with trade-offs in convenience and consistency.

Pros: River View, spacious old style room, big comfortable King bed, fridge in room, outdoor chairs/table, indoor chairs/table, good aircon and lighting controls, great breakfast buffet, walkable to 7-11(just outside hotel gate) and public boat pier, approximately quarter mile (hotel has complimentary Tuktuk ride to pier) also). Cons: stained dated carpet/paint in rooms, no wash cloths or hand towels in room, you will need transport to go anywhere, as there is not much in immediate vicinity. Also at ground level on river side of hotel outdoors, there are restaurant and craft beer bar (Chit Hole, quite good). In the evening the music from the outdoor venue can be quite loud. Overall grade = A- would definitely book again

Large rooms, river view is excellent. Prefer higher floors. Lower floors get noise from outside restaurant and bar music etc. Chit Hole craft beer bar on the hotel property by the river is fantastic 👍. The restaurant dinners are mediocre at best. The buffet breakfast is decent. Hotel staff is great! Helping booking tours and transportation etc. would recommend because of the size room and river view. Otherwise a bit overpriced for Bangkok👍

Not at all recommended for international travellers, will explain below Nice location, rooms are nicely maintained, amazing river view from the room at night. Close to a 7- 11 and a bus stop within 5 min walk This property has quite a few cons which are serious and not ignorable. Firstly, they don't provide soap bar or does not have any soap dispenser by the wash basin. I have never seen this issue in hotel or this level. IF YOU NEED TO WASH YOUR HAND AFTER EATING FOOD OR USING TOILET, ETC THEN YOU HAVE TO GO TO SHOWER AND GET BODY WASH FROM THE DISPENSER BY THE SHOWER TO WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!!! Pretty weird eh?? At first I thought they have forgotten to provide but when I checked with the reception they mentioned they don't have it and requested me to use body wash as soap!!!! Second, the breakfast was really bad and full of food items made with pork. They provide some really weird juices. Some foods are labelled while most foods made with meat were not labeled. There is an omlet bar. The persons that make omlet has poor skill and many times uses same spoon to pick ham or pork to pick chopped onions or tomatoes and most often mix them up. And a cherry on the top, most servers do not understand English at all!!!! Lastly, stuff/receptionists have very poor communication skills. Hardly anyone of them speak English and I had hard time to explain something even to those that speak a lil bit. One receptionist made me to use online transtor to talk to him!!! I mean seriously!!

It’s definitely worth paying a little bit more for a river view room. My room was huge with a fabulous shower and all the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. I had e-mailed in advance to warn them that I would be arriving very early, so when I actually got to the hotel at 8am (check-in was 2pm) they were so helpful and I was in my room before 9am. Great after an eleven hour flight.
