Hotels near Royal Thai Navy Convention Hall

I've stayed at 5-star hotels on several continents, often costing two or three times as much, but none has come close to the attention to detail, the personal kindness, or concern for guests' well-being on display. When my wife needed a nurse to attend to an infection, the manager of the hotel himself accompanied her to our room, made arrangements for us to go to a nearby hospital, and called on our return to be sure that she had received effective treatment. In the magnificent rooftop bar overlooking the city and the barge- and cruise-boat traffic on a wide bend of the Chao Praya River, it quickly became apparent that all the staff knew your name, and anticipated your every wish. The rooftop restaurant was pricey, but the food was as close to heavenly as it gets. And if you wanted something more mundane, the cluster of restaurants around the hotel pier could muster up a meal to suit every taste. It's the best of both worlds in this self-enclosed resort at the heat of a great city.

I booked Chatrium Residence (2 bedroom with river view). I arrived earlier than check-in time, and put my luggage in the hotel concierge before in I went to other destination. All the staff are super friendly, they upgraded me to 3 bed-room river view room. I can feel the hospitality of the staff. Once, I left my room-key in the sofa, they even remember that was my room key and gave it back to me, speechless for the nice hospitality as they're very attentive to every guess (the hotel was very crowded, but they remember me). Breakfast was super great, many variety of nice food. Breakfast with river view was excellent!! If you're looking for a 5-star hospitality, great value and nice view hotel, this is the best, as this is an original Thai hospitality.

Had a wonderful stay at the Anantara Riverside during Thai New Year. The hotel is located a little out of the central area but has a complimentary shuttle boat, which ran to perfect timings throughtout. The shuttle drops you at either Asiatique or at Sathorn Express Boat Pier. Asiatique consists of a modern market complex with dozens of stalls, food stalls, restaurants, bars, shows and live music events. Prices were a little higher than elsewhere but bargain hard and it is still good value. Perhaps most importantly it is very clean and friendly and a great place for kids or those who do not feel ready for the more vibrant markets available elsewhere. Be aware Asiatique is a night market so not open until around 6pm. Sathorn Express Boat Pier is a little further (10 min max) and offers access to the water taxis to the entire Chao Praya river, and a very simple 2 minute walk to the skytrain linking you to the rest of Bangkok network. The Anantara Riverside calls itself a resort and you could spend your entire holiday at the wonderful pool area; although this would perhaps not be the best use of your time in Bangkok. There are a number of excellent dining options, breakfast is a buffet style mix of asian and international cuisines and is absolutely superb. We also ate at the pool bar,Nicoise salad being the agreed 'best choice' it was delicious, but all the food we had was well prepared, beautifully presented and served with typical Thai style! Overall I would highly recommend the Anantara Riverside but with one tiny recommendation. Describing a room as a river view should mean more than a fleeting glimpse of the water, and if you cannot get a 'full' river view then the rooms with pool views were a better choice. This does not detract from an excellent stay and we will definitely visit again.

This hotel was AMAZING, the best hotel experience I've ever had. We booked this for a 30th birthday celebration and specifically wanted this hotel mainly for the rooftop bar/restaurant and the incredible balconies. I had seen this on the Hangover movie and I'd spent months stalking them on instagram and by the time we came to depart I was worried that I had built it up too much and it was going to be a let down. I was SO wrong. From the second we stepped out of the car on arrival we were treated like VIP's, the staff were so incredibly lovely, they went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time, they sent me a total of THREE birthday cakes in our 5 day stay, and one of them was brought to us at our dinner at sirocco by about 5 staff all enthusiastically singing happy birthday. The location is perfect, the views are some of the best I've ever seen (upgrade to tower club river view TRUST ME) and the staff are ALL incredible. We would never stay any where else in Bangkok!

Overall, the stay was as expected of Hilton standards. The warmest staff there are probably the boat shuttle personnel, and doormen. The others are rather cold and a little too impersonal. The worst is probably the 'breakfast door-lady' who never fail to embarrass my wife and I for two days. Perhaps it was my mistake to have made an error during my online booking to indicate only 1 person. Despite being assured during check-in that I can just walk in and the extra will be charged accordingly, I am still subjected to a 5 minutes questioning and further checking in the systems. But I suspect she does not understand my request "Please charge to my room". So, be extra careful when doing the booking, otherwise you would be harassed. Anyway, the breakfast is plain, at best, for a 5-star hotel. Although far, the hotel's boat shuttle makes it up. It is convenient, safe, regular, FOC and connects you almost directly to the BTS (Saphan Taksin) and the river express central jetty. Another public ferry (6 Bahts return) connects you nearer to Chinatown. For the adventurous, do visit the market directly beside the hotel for good authentic Thai food.

I am presently staying for a second time and writing about my first experience at the Royal Orchid Sheraton. The hotel is excellent. I write from my desk overlooking the river below and the city lights. The views is great. Hotel services are excellent and the rooms quite comfortable. The restaurants are also quite good. I prefer the traditional Thai restaurant. Beautifully designed with excellent dishes. The lobby bar is quite nice as well. The exterior is a little worse for wear but does not speak to the interior, which is well maintained and lovely. Beds are great as well. I will stay here again.

although being far from bts but the location of this reasonably priced hotel on the river front of Chao Phraya river offers you another alternative to get to many tourist attractions of Bangkok such as Thai royal palace,khaosan road,china town,asiatique night market simply by boat. room is small but clean.staff are friendly and helpful.breakfast and dinner buffet are also great.

I highly recommend Naga Residence. The place is very clean and it has great security. You have to access an automated sliding glass door first using your room key card before you enter the hotel's elevator. So you feel very safe. The lobby also has free cookies, juice, water and computer for the customers to use. Their wifi connection is also very strong. The room is spacious and the hotel location is perfect because there are a lot of food places to choose from around the area. It is near 7/11, a mall, walking distance to the pier if you want to ride a boat to cross the other side of the river where the temples are located. I would like to personally commend the supervisor, Mr. Marlon for helping us with our accommodation and itineraries. He is also Filipino like me so he really helped me a lot in contacting my merchants with our itineraries and bookings since he knows how to speak in Thai, he helped me with the translation. :) He really went above and beyond until our last day in Thailand because he also helped us in getting a ride to the airport. He really has great customer service. The guard named Umporn is very friendly and helpful as well. Also, I left my pair of earrings in our room and the housekeeping staff turned it over to their front desk. I really appreciate their honesty. For those who are planning to go to Bangkok, I recommend Naga Residence. It's the perfect place to stay in Thailand! :)

When my boyfriend and I were planning to book a Hotel in Bangkok, I wanted to have a tub in our room with reasonable prize, since it was our first night we wanted it to be amazing. I found this hotel and was won over its photos of the rooms and was transpired in person, which we were very contented. Upon arrival the FO was very welcoming and helpful, it didnt took us long to wait for the check in procedure and was assisted to our room after 5mins. We booked their Executive Deluxe and it was one of the best rooms. The tub was built for two, best for honeymooners, the bed is big and all the amenities are personalize which makes you feel like you're in a luxurious hotel. Location wise, its very quiet with a lot of street food, which their street is known for, aside from being the oldest roads in Bangkok (a good history), It's a good 5-8mins walk to Asiatique, where you can enjoy night shopping and mid-high level restaurants, before reaching Asiatique, you can pay a visit in a nearby temple for a little sightseeing. You can also save money and time by getting on the boat since its nearby Chao Praya river. Kudos to everyone and I hope to see you all again!

One of the most important things for me is location. This property is close to everything Old City has to offer. National Museum, National Art Gallery, Khao San Road, Royal Palace, many temples and shrines, cafes, shops, street food galore, coffee shops and just a great walking area. The hotel had all the bells and whistles needed, clean, great friendly staff and just a great view on the deck of the river. Just watching the local river traffic. Really enjoyable visit.

Navalai River Resort is a great hotel with lovely rooftop pool, good facilities and easy access to the tourist attractions we wanted to see. With the Phra Arthit pier out front we could catch the ferries to all the major tourist attractions, such as Wat Arun, Royal Palace, Recling Buddha, Chinatown and Asiatique, at a fraction of the cost of the Hop On Hop Off Tourist boat. The bus stop out front meant we could catch the num 3 or 524 buses to Chatuchak Markets and the S1 bus back to the airport at the end of our holiday. (all really cheap too!) The tourist travel agent across the road organised some terrific trips for us. And on a Sunday afternoon the little lane across the road is transformed into a Muay Thai Boxing stadium where top class fights can be watched for free as they are televised live on Bangkok TV as Super Champ Mauy Thai! A great hotel and great staff, not all who could speak English, but were all very helpful. Great restaurant downstairs too!

At first I thought the place is too pricey since the room (deluxe) doesn't seem any special than a normal hotel, still I booked it anyway because all hotels around the area of the royal cremation ceremony took place is all booked. But they win my heart by their beyond service-minded staffs, everyone is well-trained. During my stay I have to leave the hotel around 3 A. M. So I couldn't make it to their breakfast, the lovely part is their attentive service. They made me a breakfast boxes and kept them for me in my fridge so that I will have something to eat after. That was really lovely. The room facilities itself has everything I need and has plenty of AC outlets, which is much better than any hotel I've ever been. The bed was really comfortable. Now after the stay, I would say it was totally worth it.

Hotel location ia near from Kaohsan Road, only 10 minutes by walked. The room is very clean and comfort. Facilities is good and breakfast was very nice with the river view behind the hotel. The Staff is very friendly, they Will explain for the route and transportation if you would like to going anywhere. Better you use Grab car because Its very easy than you use a taxi or tuk tuk. For your information, not all Thai people can speak English, so better you use Google translate if you don't understand what they speak.

The accommodation is great, although even some of the taxi drivers had difficulty finding the hotel. Entry is down a dead end "alleyway" opposite Wat Pho. On the food front, the soft shell crab was soggy, and the Northen Thai appetiser platter cooked element tasted like they may have been cooked in old fat! We both had types of braised meats for our main course. Neither of which were to our taste (This is not the restaurant's fault as we both tried Thai versions of meats we both love but for us they didn't work). The breakfast was brilliant, sat on the terrace facing the river and another fantastic temple, Wat Arun. It wouldn't take much to make this hotel score 5 stars in every category, and I realise that you can't cater for everyone's taste, but all in all we loved it!!!

Just love this hotel very much! Friendly and helpful staffs, clean spacious room, completeJust love this hotel very much! Friendly and helpful staffs, clean spacious room, complete with toiletries set, comfy big bed, modern bathroom. There is a 7-11 right besides it , and there is a local Thai restaurant located at the soi beside hotel (not the best but the restaurant has amazing deco with plants), food were OK.... Anyway, back to the hotel, the room was so cozy that I could stay in the room for whole day long...

my wife and I booked the hotel for 3 nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. after we arrived we were shown an upstairs room. I told the mgr. that my wife has a condition that causes her to lose her balance and the stairs, with no rail, would be too dangerous for her. I then reminded the mgr that we had booked the black room, on the first floor. she brought the owner to talk to us and I repeated what I had told the mgr. the owner, Cee, said that agoda does not tell them which room was requested only that a room was requested. I looked up our online booking and saw that the rooms were described but not linked to a color and all the rooms are defined by their color. Cee then said that another thai couple had booked the black room for two nights and he could give us one night in it and the 2nd night in another room, then the 3rd night back in the first room but he would talk to the other man and see what he could do. when we came out for supper Cee told us that the other man said we could have the room all 3 nights. Thainess at it's best! everything about our stay was wonderful from the staff to the food to the quirky uniqueness of the room. we felt like honored guests in someone's home and not customers in a hotel. if you want a particular room i suggest you go to the Loy Lalong website and book directly.

This is a beautiful hotel. Although it might not be a 4 star hotel on any lists, it seems like a 4 or 5 star hotel disguised as a 3 star. It has very large rooms, with king size beds. The carpets and interior of the rooms are so clean, with beautiful art deco present in every room and hallway. It has a strong emphasis on the artistic side of decor. My room had a beautiful view of the city, for miles and miles. As a building, it is not among many tall buildings; this one just suddenly appears among a standard local culture district, with standard Thai food shops along the street. But only a few blocks away is a very big restaurant and shopping area called Asiatica, which is like a truly international food court. Asiatica reminded me of restaurant and shopping areas in California! Same kinds of great breweries, restaurants and establishments, including a French restaurant and many affordable Thai restaurants. Room comes with refrigerator, and various amenities. Above all, the room is huge, and a beautiful clean white with art on the walls and a TV ready to go. Great climate control. Room did not come with free breakfast, but apparently, some do. Very fast and easy check in. I happened to be there for their Festival of Lights religious holiday and so this Asiatica shopping area and the street Tongtara is on were truly packed with people. Taxi driver and hotel staff reassured me it is not always like this!! But this is a beautiful hotel, which not only has huge rooms, a sense of art and large beds. It seems to be a 4 or 5 star hotel disguised as a 3 star hotel in a 3 star area!!

I booked a riverview corner-suite and never regretted it. The view is spectacular and ever-changing, the room is pleasant, clean and comfortable, although the bathroom is a bit smallish (not even room to deposit one's necessities bag). There is a restaurant at the ground floor, breakfast-room on the second floor and bar on the sixth floor, all with panoramic view on the river and the roofs of the great palace and Wat Arun. It's hard to get any better! The staff is smiling and courteous, but efficiency depends on the individual. One morning I got perfect service at breakfast with a waitress inquiring for my preferences upon arrival, the next morning I had almost to beg to get an egg (one) and was offered no choice at all ("fried egg" she decided and that was it). It's all part of the Thai experience I guess.

CHANN has set the bar high for future hotels for me. Everything was excellent. The location is right on the river with lots of boat activity to watch and just a few blocks from the Royal Barge Museum. The food was great and I can't say enough about the staff. They were extremely helpful with all questions we had and even helped us plan our day's activities. The attention to detail on the part of the staff and the decor is impeccable. Again, one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at!

I loved staying here. This is an elegantly remodeled historic building that is charming. The access to the hotel is by their private boad (don't be afraid it is easy and quick). They provide you with a cell phone to call for pickup. The hotel is across the river and a reasonable walk to main sites (King's palace, Thai Museum, a few Wats and a performance venues as well as some older sites that you can poke around in. The metro water transportation for the city is right there and a cheap and easy way to get around (an avoid the "negotiations" with the local taxi drivers. The food was very good and interesting. They had traditional foods replicated from menues 100 years old. It is an elegant oasis from the crowds of the city, while still being in the city. The staff was great and the type of people you'd like to have as friends after you leave. Very romantic too. I've traveled a lot and this is the first hotel I've given the highest ratings on all categories. Be sure to use arrange tranportation from the airport through the hotel as the first trip over the hotel's boat can be confusing, but after that it is not an issue (with the loaner cell phone...great idea).

A lifelong friend and I are traveling Thailand. The Swan Hotel is wonderful. It is not a new hotel but deserves 5 stars. The room is very basic but comforatable. The pool is fantastic and beautiful. The staff is the best. Always there to help you. Breakfast and lunch is very good with wonderful quick service. I will always stay here when I return. Thank You---Patricia Smith---Florida USA

Whether you’re a solo traveller, couple, or family - this place is absolutely amazing! From the moment you lay eyes on this aesthetically pleasing quaint boutique hotel - you will be in love! Talakkia is a hidden gem (literally, down a secure back alley), just a ten minute walk from Chinatown. The staff were exceptional, the food moderately priced and delicious, and the room superbly clean with everything you need - and not to mention the unique, modern-industrial chic decor, so cute! Would stay here a million times more if I could have the chance to! Handy mini bar with snacks and drinks to purchase, tiny (but wonderfully relaxing) outside pool and spa/reading/relaxing area, elevator, and ice cream are just a few of the other great perks! Side note - needed a quick shower after checking out and leaving for the day, staff easily let my partner and I come in, rent a towel, and shower up before a long night train ride (appreciate this so much!) - Talakkia, one of the best stays EVER.
