by Felicity Dalton Visit Date:December 1, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The deluxe studio was comfortable and suited our needs as one adult and two children, though one child had to sleep on the sofa cushions on the floor, and extra blanket and pillow were provided on request. Marvellous view of river and bridge and otherwise a good location for us, away from the busy city but still accessible to a food court, 7/11 store, Thai massages and taxis out the front. Staff not very helpful or friendly was the main drawback, as was the location and coldness of pool." |
by Yell Suwanyangyaun Visit Date:November 6, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Good room with various facility. Parking space is very limited.

by IAN HAMILTON SPENCER Visit Date:April 25, 2011 Room: Service: Location: "We enjoyed our stay at the Riverfront Residence. The staff are friendly and the room, for the price I paid was excellent. There was plenty of living space and a nice view of the river;- especially at night. There is a cooker and microwave in the kitchen area of the apartment, lots of tables and furniture and it is what it says - your home from home. We didn t use the facilities of the Residence as we was out most of the time so we cannot comment on that. The location is away from all the hustle and bustle of Bangkok so it is a little isolated. There are shuttles that take you to the shopping complexes but we found taxis just as good;- 120 baht to Wat Po (Wat Arun) or 80 baht to the central pier. Advice - take a printout of the directions or take the residence card for the taxi drivers for your return otherwise it could be fun!!. Overall a very good stay and would stay again Ian & Pairorh <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

by Anong Lane Visit Date:November 24, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The Hotel was an excellent place to stay. Although a little out of the way, it was easy to get to different parts of town." |
easy and clear., August 23, 2009 by DUVAL Laurent Visit Date:August 20, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Nice people.
Good comfort.Quiet and clean.
Location map on the site might be more complete and printable larger and with
thai explaination for first taxi to come here.
The free suttle service is indispensable
but well managed.
I recommend this address." |
Sawadee booking service was fantastic, their prices the best, and super easy, very trustable to pay online, I used twice this trip from my country to Samui and from their contacted them again to book for Bangkok. Recommended totally Sawadee., March 27, 2009 by Magnusson Monica Visit Date:March 25, 2009 "The Riverfront is a good place to stay, It has a very nice view, we stayed on floor 23 in a deluxe 2 beedroom and its very clean nice and big enought for a family or 5 persons,personal is friendly and helpful. Hotel has free bus to supermarket and also to Chongnonsi(skytrain)acording schedule.has kitchenette, silverware and micro,but not pots or pans. Price is overal good, breakfast buffet a bit boring, but ok. All positive, the only negative is that it is not close to shopping areas, so you have to take a taxi (make sure taxi meter is on before you board it) to get to shopping areas, about 100-200 bath a trip.
A GOOD TIP FOR YOU IN BANGKOK, DO NOT trust tuk tuk around shopping centers, they take you cheap to other shopping center but is just cheating, they have an agreement with Gems Silk and Jewerelly. Have a nice trip. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
Reservation trough Sawadee.com was precise and professional., November 28, 2008 by Tom Grove-Knutsen Visit Date:November 5, 2008 "Stayed 6 enjoyable days at the Riverfront. Great room with kitchenette and saparate bedroom and a balcony with riverview for the evening night drink. Absolutely no traffic noise. Extremely pleasant and helpful staff and a great in-house restarant. Location is generally not known to the Taxi drivers, make sure you have driving directions in Thai for the Taxi home. Hotel has a shuttle service to Chong Nonsi BTS station, approx 30 minutes drive. We did not use the service." |
October 5, 2008 by Brian N Hoegsberg Visit Date:October 3, 2008 "Overall we had a very good experience at the Riverfront Residence. The service was outstanding, particularly from the staff at the front desk. The facilities were good, room was also good to very good (Deluxe 2 bedroom), and the workout room was fantastic (equipment was new). We agree with other reviewers that the hotel was out of the way - although taxis were easy to obtain, the drives to/from town were long. We would definitely stay at the Riverfront again, despite the location. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
have used Sawadee a few times and as always very efficient. I have recommended this service to my friends, September 25, 2008 by Mark Francis Loughland Visit Date:September 20, 2008 "Room was fantastic with kitchen. Staff very friendly. Great food and service. View of working harbour. Not in shopping districts,but, shuttle bus resolved this.We were looking to rest not shop" |
no problems with the booking, booked on line., October 20, 2008 by Rebecca Gilroy Visit Date:September 9, 2008 "fabulous apartment room, helpful staff and excellant breakfast." |
Booking service really needs faster feedback; It is more convenient to book and pay for the room at the same time. Confirmation of room availability needs to happen much faster than it does now., August 20, 2008 by David John Bourner Visit Date:August 10, 2008 "This hotel is a little off the beaten track, based close to the Chak Prao river in the Old Town district of the city. It is a long term stay residence style of accommodation. Rooms were pleasant and spacious.
What is particularly annoying, having stayed in other hotels, is the high priced rates for internet usage. Wireless internet is accessible in certain areas of the hotel alone." |
