The hype
Travelers adore the huge rooms and breakfast buffet, but often mention the decor feels a bit 2010s.
Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok
$130-220/ éjszaka
Foglaljon ezt, ha You want a resort-style escape with massive balconies and river views, but don't mind taking a boat to reach the city center.
Miért szeretik az emberek
- Every room has a private balcony (most with river views)
- The 6th-floor infinity pool is a legitimate riverside oasis
- Rooms are massive (starting at 60sqm) with kitchenettes
Gyors áttekintés: It’s a spacious, slightly aging grand dame that trades modern sleekness for unbeatable river views and square footage.
Értékelte @Pavioj: I stayed in this 2-bedroom suite and it was a total game-changer for our group trip. The river views from the balcony were insane, and having a real living room made it feel like home.

Tisztaság és karbantartás

- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though some grout in older showers shows age.
- Maintenance: Good, but expect minor scuffs on dark wood furniture.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, high thread count. Pool towels are plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh (lemongrass/floral). Some rooms can have a faint 'musty' humidity smell if AC is off for long.

“I would appreciate a room on a high floor (20+) facing the river, away from the elevators. If possible, a corner unit for the extra light.”
GYIK és rejtett tippek
Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.
Is the pool crowded?
Yes, the infinity pool is the hotel's highlight and gets busy with families in the late afternoon. Go before 10am for laps.
How bad is the boat noise?
It's noticeable. Between 7pm and 10pm, party boats pass by with loud music. It's atmospheric to some, annoying to others.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate, but highly recommended. The buffet at River Barge is extensive with Thai, Chinese, and Western stations.
Can I walk to the BTS Skytrain?
Technically yes (15-20 mins), but it's a hot, busy roadside walk. The free shuttle boat is the intended way to go.
Are the rooms dated?
Slightly. Expect dark wood furniture and classic carpets rather than minimalist modern design, but they are kept in good condition.
Is there a dress code for breakfast?
Casual, but no swimwear. You can eat on the terrace or inside.
Insider tippek
- ✨
Walk 5 mins to 'Kimpo Fish Porridge' for a Michelin-recognized street food meal that costs pennies.
- ✨
The shuttle boat also stops at IconSiam (huge mall) at specific times—ask the concierge for the schedule to save a taxi fare.
- ✨
Buy your beer/snacks at the 7-Eleven downstairs instead of the minibar; the fridge is huge and empty for your own use.
5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The 'City View' rooms often still have a partial river view because of the building's curve.
💡The elevators can be slow during breakfast rush (8:30am-9:30am).
💡You can hear the boat whistles from the river early in the morning.
💡The balconies are actually large enough to have a full dinner on, not just a standing ledge.
💡The air conditioning is powerful but can be a bit loud in older units.
