Oasis in Bangkok”

Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer. Buddy Oriental Riverside was a lovely oasis in Bangkok--not extremely convenient to major sites, but entirely pleasant with excellent facilities including pools, food, and other amenities. Staff was friendly and helpful and the room was big, clean, and well-appointed.

Awesome place”

This is really good hotel with nice view and food was really good taste

Lovely oriental plac3”

I loved the oriental style throughout the whole premises. Rooms as well as complete building, all in oriental style, very very relaxing. Great pools, very nice location at the river banks. Recommend for a great retreat, just minutes away from Bangkok. Staff very friendly !

My feedback”

This was a great place to stay, as I got married literally next door - very handy. The staff were so so nice (typical trait of the Thai folks). Great value and the beds were so soft and comfortable. The only downside which is not unique to this hotel but in most (99.9%) hotels in ASEAN is the breakfast, I'm English and love a proper English breakfast and the shower head would benefit from a bleaching / cleaning, room 301.

Quiet stay by the river”

Our room 321 was not facing the river, so we only had some tree views, which was a bit disappointing at first. But the room size was generous and very clean. Though it was a middle of long weekend in Thailand, there were not many people, so we could have the swimming pool to ourselves. The location is about 40 mins drive from CBD of Bangkok, so you will need your own transportation. We had dinner at a Thai restaurant by the river on the hotel premise, which had a live band and quite nice. The breakfast on the following day was not buffet due to low number of guests (still adequate though). I am quite happy with the stay as our purpose was to relax and the hotel served our needs. The requirements I would like to make is 1.No DVDs are available at the reception (the booklet in the room says DVDs can be borrowed at the reception). 2.No toothbrush. Shampoo/conditioner are of low quality. 3.Room was quite dark with all the lights on. Not great for readers like myself. However, it is overall a great place if you have your own transportation.

good service nice room”

The service was always excellent and friendly and I've already been in touch with them 3 times in the last week taking care of details and they reply instantly with everything requested and all the necessary information. As far as we are concerned this is the only hotel we would ever stay in because of the location and the wonderful service. I hope others will enjoy it as much as we did.

Lovely place right on the river”

Great hotel we had the pool all to ourselves everyday !! food in the thai restraunt was lovely, breakfast was also very good. room was great lovely bathroom & a nice balconey overlooking the Swan & ducks below, I will stay here again should I need to be near Don Muang airport or if I want Bangkok but some quiet time too..

Very nice hotel, big room”

Good swimming pool, good breakfast, staff friendly , have many interesting places such as Koh Kred, temple, local lifestyle, local food, the hotel is located quite far but they have clearly sign, easy access

A place to rest far from the ordinary”

If you like to get a taste of colonial times, beautifully located at the River, that is great choice. Not located near to anything, the own bar with live music and pool tables do easily for a night or two. Fantastic Hotel Layout, great wooden rooms with modern equipment and work desk. Staff takes good care of you. If you got a car, absolutely no problem to drive to the center. Wifi works better if you stay in floor 1 or 2. A place to come back if you are tired of the noisy city.

Thai style hotel with modern facilities.”

The hotel has very good standard of facilities. The staff are friendly. The hotel is located not far from Bangkok so it is good for Thais to spend a weekend there for a change. It has good conference and seminar facilities too. It has a Thai restaurant attached to the hotel so it is convenient.

peaceful, quiet hotel near big shopping centre”

we had a very pleasant feeling when we reached here. as part of the hotel is still under construction, the room that we have checked in is considered newly built. taxi in thailand in not expensive and 15 mins. drive can bring you to the large shopping centre: central chaengwattana. if you don't like the congested traffic of bangkok yet want to do some shopping in bangkok. this hotel is highly recommended.

Nice room but noisy ”

The staff and the room were very nice, clean, big space and well traditional Thai design. Breakfast is good. However, we have changed room once coz we booked deluxe river view but got some part of the pool view instead (not like in the ad photo) and the view of some people walking right in front of our bedroom window around the pool. We had to close the curtain pretty much all the time. Plus it’s right next to 6 air compressors. Super loud lol so we changed. There were 3 weddings on during the whole time we were staying. Our second room was more private and quieter located on the upper level (still no river view) above the hotel main entrance. Every morning of the stay, the guard blew a whistle since before 7am to guide the cars to the car park (wedding=many cars). Anyhow, we told the staff and they organized the whistle wake up call noise to later on. All in all, it’s a nice place but I’m not so sure if it’s a good place for someone who want a peaceful long stay vocation.

A hidden treasure”

We booked this hotel to avoid downtown Bangkok traffic. It’s a nice surprise to find this spacious facility by the river. The room is colonial style, with balcony. You can feel the owner’s passion for hospitality every corner you turn. The sunset by the riverside restaurant is stunning. The staff is friendly but with limited English. The accessibilty from main road to hotel entrance is a bit challenge. Bring hotel address and map with you when taking taxi. If you want a qiet getaway; this is the place.

Tranquility Spot...”

The hotel is located near the river side abs this gives it a peaceful tranquility spot to chill down. The pool villa i stayed in was very nicely decorated in colonial style, clean and tidy. The swimming pool that come with the villa is quite large but should have daily cleaning as its full of trees and gardens so at morning it can be quite a lot of dirt inside the water. Breakfast was for me far from ok, I mean if you like to eat healthy, it's complex as all is mainly focused on very basic breakfast items. Bananas were not available just to give you a idea... To me it was a breakfast worth 3 star only. Went for massage at the resort and must say very professional team and great treatment in cozy room. Overall staff was very friendly, really kind and true Thai hospitality !! My best friend got married at this resort so my main topic to stay at this resort.. First time visit BKK andwant to book this location to be near the river, it's nice but kind far from all touristic spot.

Very good”

Travelling with two young kids, in the room there is 1 large bed and a single bed. Large bed enough for one adult n two kids to slp. Breakfast wash Simple but sufficient. Cozy place.

Excellent Hotel”

Really enjoyed my stay here.

Hidden gem!”

What a great place. Full of charm. Big rooms, big bed. Just after New Year, we felt as though it was our own private spot. Right on the river. We thought it would be absolutely perfect if they had a taxi boat to go into the city. ( a suggestion for the hotel). Exemplary service. Swimming, massage, the feel of a unique hotel.Huge! But delightful surprises of charm.. Great breakfast. Would go back in a heartbeat.

This is a sleeping beauty....”

Western travellers are not comfortable with the name "Buddy" in the hotel name. They think it is a cheap low class hotel becasue of the "Buddy". It's certanily not bad to be friendly, "Buddy" -like but it's not suitable for hotel name if you want to attract westerners. Sad coz the Buddy Oriental Riverside is a fantastic hotel! A SLEEPING BEAUTY!!! I have stayed in more than 100 hotels in Thailand - from 2 stars to 5 stars (Royal orchid Sheraton, Ramada Riverside) but this is my favourite. I and my wife (who is thai) just love it. Great personal, great breakfast, 2 great pools, such beautiful decorations and artefacts, such spacious rooms, diner, outdoor restaurant by the Chao Praya river,secluded from traffic and the. And on top of that this beautiful colonial style architecture with high ceilings in rooms and everywhere.. This second time my wife and I also tried the spa with massage and that was the best we have had in all Thailand, and then we have had about 1000 massages around all Thailand, ok! And on top of it all - since the main road is a bit away,the serenity, the calmness, and just the slow river traffic... wow... I am sure you are gonna love it if you go here too. This is actually a 5 star hotel,. ok. /
