The hype
Guests are blown away by the view and location but often find the standard rooms cramped and the street noise intrusive.
Riva Arun Bangkok
$100-250 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want the absolute best Instagram shot of Wat Arun from your private jacuzzi and don't care about a swimming pool.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Unbeatable direct views of Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn)
- Rooftop bar 'Above Riva' is a destination in itself
- Walking distance to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho
Tóm tắt nhanh: A glorified shophouse with a billion-dollar view, thin walls, and no pool.
Được đánh giá bởi @Tinitravels: I booked a table here for our anniversary and it was magic. Watching the lights turn on at Wat Arun across the river while we ate was unforgettable. It’s not cheap, but for a view like this without the crowds, I’d pay it again in a heartbeat.

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is there a swimming pool?
No. Only the Jacuzzi Suites have private tubs. There is no communal pool.
Can I park my car there?
Technically yes, but don't count on it. Valet is limited to about 6 cars. Take a Grab or taxi.
Is it quiet at night?
Not really. River traffic starts early and the road is busy. Request a high floor.
Does the elevator go to the rooftop?
No, it stops one floor down. You must walk up a flight of stairs to the bar.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate, but it costs ~450 THB ($13) if purchased separately.
How close is the MRT?
Sanam Chai station is a 5-minute walk (approx. 300m).
