I stayed here in mid-February 2026, while they were GLOW Riverside. See they have now changed name to TARA Riverside. Great property, with a riverside location. The river view from my room was rather limited but the room was big and really great. Loved the balcony where I could relax with a local beer in the evening. A little bit out of the way when it comes to public transportation, but that is surely going to change soon. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely hotel right on the river with riverside pool and dining. The rooms are spacious and super comfortable. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and Khun Pim at the front desk is very helpful. Great value in Bangkok.
