Great location and service in North Bangkok”

I have seen this hotel on previous visits to Bangkok and decided to try it during a recent trip to Thailand. It is in the northern suburb of Nonthaburi and is not a good choice for first time travelers to Thailand. It is just too far from the iconic tourist attractions in downtown Bangkok. But, if you are wanting to see the real Thai city lifestyle, the Richmond is a great choice. The Richmond is a large convention hotel with all of the trappings of a business hotel. I booked a 5-day very comfortable standard twin in October 2012 on the 15th floor with a great city view. It is located on a major east-west city boulevard called Ratana Thibet Road. The Purple line extension of the BTS Skytrain is under construction directly in front of the hotel, which should greatly add to the appeal of this hotel for tourists. I heard that it will be ready for service in 2014. There is a free car park under the hotel if you are driving a car. Plenty of taxis are available at the hotel. There is a Big C shopping mall across the boulevard. You can easily walk to it via the pedestrian overpass near the hotel. There are two other big shopping malls within 600 meter walking distance. Street foods are available within 300 meter walking distance until about 10pm. After 10pm, your best bet is room service at the Richmond, which offers a mix of Thai and Western items. There is a restaurant at the hotel, but it closes at 10pm also. This hotel does not have wi-fi. You access the internet in your room via LAN cable. Be sure to ask the front desk to loan you a LAN cable to connect to your laptop. I liked this hotel enough to rebook it for a stay later this month.

No Hassle service”

On this occasion I wasn't with my partner who was returning home for a short holiday with the family.I was a bit apprehensive about sending her alone as she has never had a solo hotel trip before and I wanted to be confident that her check in went smoothly. I am delighted to report that the Richmond lived up to its reputation and made her stay most enjoyable. The Boss reported the room was excellent and the breakfast truly great - both her and her son enjoyed themselves immensly. On arrival the were met very courteously and were directed through the check in procedure very efficiently and pleasantly. The proximity to the old Don Muang airport was great for her flight out to Udon Thani. The only adverse comment she made was her surprise at the cost of her simple dinner in the hotel restaurant the night she arrived. She will be staying at the Richmond again on her return.

A very nice business class hotel!”

We have stayed at the Richmond many times previously and this recent stay confirms that this is a great choice for lodging in the northern Bangkok region. Very friendly staff, international business atmosphere, and very comfortable clean rooms. Breakfast buffet is superb, lobby bar is wonderful, and the lobby pastry deli is awesome! Definitely will return to this world class hotel.

Clean hotel”

i recently spent four nights at richmond stylish convention hotel. i have stayed there before and have found the price to be reasonable. the place is clean and good food.it is a little 'out of the way' from bangkok, but well worth it. i will stay here again.

President”

This is a very nice hotel that is clean and staffed by a wonderful staff. The downside of the Richmond Hotel is at checkout. No matter how late your are or how valuable your vacation time is, you cannot checkout until someone checks your room! What do they think, we came to Bangkok to steal towels? All in all thought I have to say I will stay at the hotel again. It is a great value for the money.

Great Location with good conditon ”

nice, great room service & swiming pool with great location. this hotel is close to bangkok with less expensive. it make a bit far from suvannabumri airport, however, this hotel will suit for those of you who transit the airplane at don-moung airport. the close to central & the mall shoping center is another anvantage for shoping.

Clean, friendly and comfortable hotel”

This is my third stay at Richmond Hotel. I love this hotel because its price is reasonable. The staff are very professional and friendly. The room was very spacious and clean. It is also within close proximity to several shopping malls and supermarkets. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

convinence hotel in da middle of business district”

nice decoration, nice and new room. Richmond is the only one standard Hotel withing this district, Nonthaburi where the main convention and exhibition hall situated. in front of hotel will be a sky train.

great business trip hotel”

great hotel if you are needing to go for a convention or trade fair but very distant from bangkok city area. not much to do at night and a long walk to closest shopping centre although taxis always on hand but dont understand english. difficult to communicate with staff due to lack of english speaking staff. would be great to have a map of local area in english and to be able to ask staff about local sights or general questions.

Comfortable and affordable city hotel”

I booked a deluxe room for five days in mid Oct 2012. The room was very clean and well supplied. The staff was great and service was outstanding. I tried the hotel's restaurant one evening. The food was ok, but overpriced. Room service is available but there are no hotel food outlets after 10pm. The location of this hotel is in the northern Bangkok suburb of Nonthaburi, so this is probably not a good choice for first timers to Bangkok because of its distance to the iconic tourist sites. This is not a party location, but is very family friendly. The rooms do not have wi-fi, but a free LAN connection is provided. Wi-fi is available in the lobby and restaurant. The hotel has ample free car parking. There are many shopping malls within walking distance. Taxis are everywhere.

Service hotel”

not for tourists, and mainly for thai who are attending seminars, workshops or conventions, hence name - richmond the stylish convention hotel. negatives are a few, eg no free wifi or internet (c’mon these days every hotel above 2* is offering free wifi), not really a 4*, more 3.5, nothing to do in this part of nonthaburi, it’s not for tourists or sightseeing and a long way out from bangkok, so don’t expect taxi drivers to want to bring you out here. only a few english tv channels on a grainy flatscreen (cnn, bbc, china, aljez) all others including animal planet and discovery are in thai. niggles include no iron and ironing board (it’s a business hotel, how can you look smart after 16hours long haul?), remote for the tv that goes down the channels when you push the up selector, noisy noisy a/c, not much else. pluses were few but included good free breakfast with plenty of choices and enough menu changes to keep you interested for a few days, nice enough rooms, plenty of hot water, not its gone cold, ouch its hot, oh so cold. better to have a shower at 5am to get constant hot water!!! i got upgraded to a suite because the deluxe room i was in had a busted tv. nothing fancy in the suite except the shower was separate and not over the bathtub, like other rooms.

Great hotel with excellent services”

During my brief stay at the Richmond Hotel, I thought the services were excellent. I had a minor problem with the restroom in my hotel room; the management tried its best to repair the problem. The next night, I was transferred to another room. I thought the restaurant was great, with lots of choices and friendly services. The front office staff was very polite. Overall, the hotel was very clean and the security was great.

Very nice and well maintained hotel.”

i stayed at the richmond for 9 nights. the room was very nice. the breakfast, provided with the room supplied a wide variety of foods, thai and western. the foods were well prepared. there was occasional live music with the evening meal which was nice. the fitness center is one of the best supplied with equipment, weights and cardio i have seen in most of my travels. overall service was very good and friendly as well as professional, with access to transportation, security, check in and check out, without difficulty. cost of the stay was reasonable. i would stay there again.

Good hotel in Nonthaburi”

this is one of the good hotels in nonthaburi area, the northern bangkok, trained-staffs, clean rooms and convenient style. there are many kinds of foods for breakfast and test is ok. it is near don meung airport so you can drive to the city or use expressway link. many shops for shopping are around here.

Relaxing environment”

I need a location close to friends in Nonthaburi. This hotel was a good choice for that. I had a speedy check in and speedy check-out at 5:00am. It is 30 min in off-peak time to Suvarnabumi Airport but up to 90min in peak hour. A Central Shopping facility is about 300m away and best accessed by foot. In comparison with many hotels in Bangkok, the internet service to the rooms was free for one hour per day but quite expensive for additional time.

Good hotel for Nonthaburi/Northwest Bangkok”

This hotel stands out because of its proximity (walking distance) from the Purple Line Bang Krasor MRT station. This makes transportation throughout Bangkok very easy. The price is higher (3 star rating) here than comparable properties in the area which I think is because it is on the main thoroughfare (Rattanathibet) and near the MRT station. Even if you are visiting somewhere far in Bangkok relative to this hotel location, being so near to an EASILY accessed MRT station obviates any need for using a Taxi unless you just need to get where you are going faster off the beaten path. For tourists or business people who are leery of unscrupulous taxi drivers, this is your hotel. The main areas as well as the hallways and the rooms themselves are very clean and well maintained. The staff goes over out of their way to make sure you are happy from the front desk to the cleaning staff. Facilities are clean but had to kill cockroach that ran across desk on the 10th floor; therefore, 3 star.

The Richmond”

I thought my room was very spacious, clean and updated. The indoor pool was very nice. Breakfast was great with many options. Taxis were easy to get from the hotel. I let the front desk know the night before that it was very important that our checkout was quick and what time we would be checking out and they had someone waiting at my door first thing so checkout was quick and easy. I would have liked the hotel to have had an outdoor pool and sitting area. There was only one English speaking staff at the front desk but she still had a hard time answering some of my questions. TV channels were limited to Thai channels, news and sports. Would have been nice to have Star World or a movie channel. Outside of that I would definitely stay at the Richmond again.

Great Stay”

My family with a 5-yr old had a wonderful stay! We loved our room,. Everything we needed for a great stay was there. The room and the toilet especially was clean! I just wish the wifi and the pool were better. Thank you Richmond for the wonderful stay!

Multiple stay at Richmond”

I have stayed at Richmond many times. The location is good. The international buffet style breakfast was great. The room is spacious. Overall, value for money.

good hotel”

The richmond hotel was ok could use some improvements in the language department. The food was very good had a wide variety of mixed foods from american to asian. Watch out for the pool i dont really think they use chlorine or anything in it, just revolving water. Also make sure you have a swim suit if you plan on swimming no regular shorts or anything you would wear for like fun, you wount get in. But overall a very nice place about 45 mins from central Bangkok, wich is a hassel sometimes verry close to a mall/shopping center ah and also a movie theater..
