“great experience”

Yes, it is three stops further up river from many of the highlights of Bangkok, but wonderful if you like being on the river and not interested in shopping. A small upgrade to a balcony room over looking the river is well worth it. The hotel staff was very helpful and made me feel welcome. I was traveling by myself, a single woman, and found the Royal River a perfect place to stay. The morning breakfast was a treat! It was an adventure and I always felt safe. I would stay there again and would love to bring my husband. A grand place to eat is just around the corner with tasty Thai cuisine and wonderful locals.

“Loved the river view!”

The hotel overlooks the river, and we spent a great deal of time on our balcony watching the river traffic. It's a 5-10 minute walk to the River Express (which is very cheap to ride) and public buses (which we didn't try). The hotel served an excellent breakfast buffet with eggs cooked to order and a variety of western and eastern dishes. Most tourist attractions require a cab-ride, several forms of public transit, or a tour - the hotel is not centrally located. If you stay there, spring for a riverview room!

“" Good Hotel if you are going to Yan Hee International Hospital, better places to stay if not "”

Good hotel for the purpose of my trip, which was to be close to Yan Hee International Hospital. Apart from that there is nothing of interest whatsoever surronding the place. A riverside room is an absolute must, the river views are superb, the other rooms look out on shanty town ! My biggest gripe was the diabolical choice of TV channels, no Star Sport or Movie Channels. You are left with BBC World News and thats about it ! Second issue is the hotel mainly caters for large coach tours, particularly french tourists. If you dont get down early for breakfast ( which is excellent ) the croissants are gone ! I personally dont like hotels that cater for coach loads of people , one tends to feel over run and that special bit of holiday magic is not there . Good room, balcony is a bonus , our cleaner was lovely, other staff ok , although the receptionists are not particularly friendly. Finally a little bit of humour,asked a few taxi drivers to take us home, and often drew a blank. Sussed it out in the end, one must ask for the " Loyal Liver "!! To be honest for the money ,there are much better hotels in Bangkok than this one.

“O.K. for the price”

The Royal River Hotel was O.K. considering the low price. The breakfast was really good. The computers at the hotel were very slow and needed better anti-virus software. I would only recommend this hotel if you are on a budget.

“Pattra”

Hotel location is ok it near river Breakfast is nice and delicious for me i like

“Not Happy”

We found the hotel staff really unfriendly and not very helpful. There is no maps given out of the area and little information regarding the hotel boat service. The normal river ferries travel frequently though and are near to the hotel. The food at the hotel was very expensive and luke warm. The internet changes were also very expensive. The prices at the hotel have shot up since our last visit but the quality has decreased. Will not stay there again. Too far from everywhere!

“Nice View but very old”

Good location Good river view Good breakfast Good service but the hotel is very old and need to be renovated !!!
