We stayed here during a cruise overnight. The hotel has a wonderful garden and is next to the river. Easy reachable from city center by skytrain and complementary hotel shuttle boat. Nice stilish clean rooms, we got a suite upgrade 🤩. The breakfast buffet was hugh and tasty! Hotel offers dining cruise on Manohra, a wonderful experience.

The bathroom very old, should have renovate especially the bathtub. For the bathroom outside the building should renovate too and should have poster WC or Toilet in front of bathroom.

We had a great holiday in Bangkok staying at the Anantara. The staff members were brilliant and eager to assist and accommodate with excursions etc. The Anantara Riverside staff members revealed to us the greatness of Thai culture and hospitality.
