River View Guest House Reviews

This is probably the worst "hotel" ive been to during my 16 months of travel. Dirty room, smelly, unfriendly. Booked for 5 days, but asked for my money back after 1 night. Had 2 stay 2 nights. I recommend you to save your money and trouble :)

... quite dirty neighborhood, no AC in the lobby, small room with no Wifi, cockroaches, ...

Go for a room with air-conditioning. It makes all the difference. The rooftop bar and restaurant is great. We spent a lot of time up there.

I stayed in the mixed dormitory and it had 4 beds (large single bed, separated by curtains, plenty of space under the bed) and each person had a large locker with key. TV with cable and like 400 channels (I didn't watch TV), a mini fridge that works, a separate toilette and shower. Very clean. Only complaint was it was really stuffy (no AC) and the fans were not enough (granted it was the hottest time of the year). The roof-top has the best part - large lounge/restaurant with great river view.

Really hard to find, but a good, basic hostel/hotel in Bangkok. Hard to call it excellent, but the best you'll find for the money. Clean, quiet, and the view and vibe of the restaurant on the top floor should account for a bigger score than the rankings allow. Nice to have a fridge in the room too.

Receptionist was extremely helpful and offered an excellent, prompt taxi service to the airport. I don't think I would stay again only because I felt a little un safe in the surrounding area when walking back form the Metro station in the evening. Very impressed with the panoramic view of Bangkok from the Restaurant and food was of good consistent quality. Unfortunately though the waiters spoke very little english and really struggled to understand our orders.

This hostel is fantastic. We stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was lated out with 4 single beds and curtains around each bed for privacy, ensuite and lockers. Best dorm room I've stayed in. It had no A/C which was quite muggy with just the fans but was still fantastic. I would defiantly stay here again the only slight issue is that it was in a rather strange location which was hard to get to and not too much around though there is a main station near by which was extremely helpful.

The beautifull restaurant on the roof is a hit with a good atmosphere, but the young waiters could be more smiling.

The signs to help find he hostel were really useful and the staff were brilliant in helping with directions etc.

It was our very first guesthouse in Asia we 've been. The reception area and the rooftop restaurant are really very nice where as our twin room was just what u can expact. The bed sheds where very clean, but the rest of the room looked very used. But usually you don't spend much time in the room anyway. It would also be nice if there would be more then 1 bathroom on level 5. All in all it is a nice guesthouse to stay and the girl at the reception is very helpful!

Not enough space to write a full review here - check out my longer review on tripadvisor.com. In a nutshell: decent place. Location good and bad. Staff also good and bad. Cleanliness excellent. Good value for money except for the restaurant. Decent Wifi. Generally would recommend, but don't stay here too long.

I stayed in the four bed, female dorm and it was spotless. Cleaned everyday with shower/toilet in the room. Curtains around each bed for privacy, and a dim bed head light that you could have on without disturbing anyone else. Great location with short walk to the midst of Chinatown, and a brilliant rooftop resturant for food and view.

Basic hostel, good location near Hua Lamphong station and Chinatown. No toilets/bathrooms on every floor; our room was on 3rd floor and toilet was on 5th floor. Too far away especially during the night..

A dusting in the rooms would be nice. Good if the glass in the rooms was kept clean, such a shame to have such a great view blurred. The shared bathrooms were kept very clean. The roof top restaurant was great to have so close. An amazing setting next to the river and in among the locals. The location really gives the feel you are experiencing the real Bangkok.

Just cleanliness is not good , I am not staying one of the hostel 5 dolars .. I paid 32 dolar one night ... when I see hotels Cambodia at this time , I can understand that quality the price is too much for that room .. However Nice view , relaxing terrace I will never forget ... Thnxx

The roof top view was amazing! No air conditioning in the room, and the cleaning staff kept shutting the fan off, got ridiculously hot with no air movement. The sharred washroom is on the 5th floor, so it can be a bit of a trek.
