"The Anantara Riverside’s immense grounds of tropical gardens make it feel a bit like a resort escape, even though it’s a hotel in the middle of one of the world’s busiest cities. Green pathways wind past lily ponds and under shady, flower-filled trees, all lit by the flicker of torches at night. With its direct riverfront location, cooling breezes help tame the hot air, and there are always local boats puttering by. This is a great choice for families with little ones who need space and can benefit from a nice big swimming pool and plenty of in-house dining options. There are myriad activities on offer, from renowned river cruises to walking tours, but when guests do want to take on the city, the heart of Bangkok is a quick—and free—ferry shuttle across the river. The hotel is also popular with Thai tourists, giving travelers opportunities for cultural connections."

This is a delightful hotel in an excellent location on the river. We stayed for three nights in November and were upgraded to a suite with a magnificent partial view of the river, the city and the fascinating tug boats. Our room was beautifully decorated and the bathroom was equally stunning, with a great deal bath and lovely toiletries.|The shuttle service from both Icon Siam and the central pier is a fantastic facility which we made use of. |Staff were attentive and friendly and there is a fantastic team on reception. |The only negatives I would add are that I felt the bar prices were high but then it is a quality hotel. Trader Vics was taken over by a private wedding (with very loud drumming) so we missed out visiting there, and I wish that the reception had explained the proximity of the adjacent mall, as we ate in the hotel the first night and the food was not quite the quality I would have expected.|Never the less, it was beautiful, comfortable, spotlessly clean and such lovely staff, we will definitely be back!

Date : 15/11/25- 18/11/25 Staying at the Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality and warm welcome made me feel instantly at home. A special mention goes to Mr. Kohseng at the reception—his professionalism, kindness, and genuine desire to help set the tone for my entire stay. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was smooth and comfortable. His service is truly top-tier and reflects the high standards of the hotel. The housekeeping team also deserves praise. My room was always impeccably clean, fresh, and beautifully arranged. Every detail—from the linen to the thoughtful touches—showed how dedicated and attentive the staff are. The overall hospitality and vibe of the resort were simply outstanding. The peaceful riverside setting, the lush atmosphere, and the warm smiles from every staff member made the stay feel luxurious yet homey. Whether relaxing by the river, enjoying the facilities, or interacting with the team, the experience was consistently five-star. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Bangkok. I’ll definitely return!

We recently stayed at the Anantara riverside for four nights. We loved the hotel with its beautiful grounds and location on the river. The pool area is surrounded by trees and planting and has a large pool and separate jacuzzi with plenty of beds and attentive pool staff. Our room was of a good size and kept very clean by the housekeeping staff. The hotel has a range of restaurants and is also very near to the Avani + hotel and its adjoined shopping centre. While there is not a BTS station nearby the hotel provides a regular river shuttle to the station across the river which is probably quicker than using the BTS itself (it also goes to the Iconsiam shopping area). The staff were lovely and a special mention to the spa staff and the wonderful treatment I enjoyed there. We would definitely recommend this hotel and very much enjoyed our stay here.

My stay at Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort was truly exceptional. The resort is surrounded by lush greenery and overlooks the Chao Phraya River, creating a perfect atmosphere of peace and relaxation away from the city noise. The room was spacious, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. I loved the large, serene pool and the delicious breakfast buffet. The staff were warm, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome. A luxurious and relaxing experience that I’d love to repeat. 🌅✨

Everything was awesome. Great location, great amenities, great views. But here’s the flip side. I was enjoying martinis around 6 pm by the river along with some appetizers. Around 7 pm, into my 2nd martini, I saw a show going on a few feet away. It was part of the Anantara premises but not the riverside bar. I asked the guy who was serving me if it was ok for me to take the drink and watch the outdoors show next door. He said it was fine. 10 minutes into the show, the hostess asked me to order buffet. I was waiting for my wife who wasn’t coming for an hour. I had just had 2 martinis and some food. So no thanks. I was asked to leave since apparently was only for paying guests !!! Seriously ! I’m a guest at the hotel. Not sure what the policies in Thailand are, but being American and having stayed at some outstanding resorts around the world, I thought it was just rude. This is not an assessment of Thai hospitality which is just outstanding. But nevertheless, it spoilt my stay just enough for me to write this review. Hope others have a better experience !

Deeply Disappointing – Nowhere Near 5-Star Standards This was one of the most overrated hotel experiences I’ve ever had. Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort markets itself as a luxury 5-star resort, but the reality is very different. The rooms are old, worn out, and poorly maintained. Furniture feels dated, carpets smell musty, and cleanliness was below acceptable standards. For the price paid, this is completely unacceptable. Service was slow, disorganized, and indifferent. Staff appeared overwhelmed and untrained, with basic requests taking far too long—or being ignored altogether. Any sense of hospitality felt forced rather than genuine. Despite the riverside location, the hotel feels isolated and inconvenient. Getting anywhere in Bangkok takes excessive time, and the constant boat traffic creates noise rather than tranquility. Breakfast was crowded and chaotic, with mediocre food quality that resembled a mass-produced buffet rather than a luxury offering. Seating was difficult to find, and replenishment was slow. Overall, this property survives on its name and photos, not on actual quality. There are far better hotels in Bangkok for half the price. I would not return and would strongly advise others to look elsewhere unless they enjoy overpaying for disappointment.

We had a truly enjoyable stay at the Anantara Riverside Hotel in Bangkok. The location is perfect for a relaxed getaway while still being conveniently close to ICONSIAM, the BTS/MRT lines, and other major attractions. The hospitality of the staff was exceptional, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We loved the swimming pool, the kids club, the extensive breakfast selection with something for everyone, and the free boat shuttle every 30 minutes.. such a unique and convenient perk! The only minor points for improvement would be updating the rooms, which feel slightly dated, and perhaps installing double-glass windows to reduce the occasional noise from party boats — though it didnt affect our stay.

This hotel is Amazing! Normally we come to stay here every 3 months since my daughter was a little until now she is 7 years old. Here is our favourite place and my daughter loves this spot. There is a kids club, kids pool and Nice restaurants. Breakfast is very good with a nice view of the Chao Phraya River and more than that, the service is excellent. This time we stayed for 3 nights( 14-17 Nov) We met "Sky" who took very good care of us at The Breakfast restaurant. He has service mind and enthusiastic in providing service. Thank you to all staff, we will be back again in February. Sutathip
