Bangkok Bang Kho Laem 5-star Hotels

Good to have free boat shuttle to Sathorn pier which is close to Saphan Taksin BTS. And the hotel staffs were nice and helpful. When we reported that there were noise from air conditioner, they arranged a new room next day and upgraded my room as well. Will back again for my next trip.

It was a fabulous stay at Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok. We were pleasantly surprised to be given an upgrade to our room and the hotel staff were all very polite and friendly. The food was also quite decent at breakfast. There’s also a boat ride service if I’m not wrong and the cleanliness and quality of materials was great as well!

Beautiful hotel! deluxe river view rooms exceptional, with a distant view of the river, washer dryer, turndown service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we could sit riverside for dinner even though the hotel had closed the area for a wedding function. This was much appreciated as we would have been beyond disappointed to have missed this feature. Shuttle boat to Icon Siam every hour, great breakfast, great gym and games room. A gem of a hotel!

This hotel looks like a motel, but in fact, you can see many tour groups staying and renewing rooms. The hotel itself is great and has all the facilities. But the location is not ideal, very remote, there is a rental to reach. The gym should be equipped with a TV, and it will be a bit boring to exercise alone; you should also add some weight training equipment, such as barbells. In particular, I would like to give the chef a compliment. After he learned that I didn't eat non-halal food, he specially made halal food for me. In short, I was very satisfied with the stay.

I stayed in the Montien Riverside for four nights in February 2023, over the Valentine’s day period, staying in a Deluxe Corner Riverside room. Even though the Montien is an older hotel it still retains that “wow” factor, as it has been well maintained. The staff here are amongst the best of any hotel in Bangkok, very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. My room was up on one of the higher floors with huge windows on each corner overlooking the Chao Phraya river, magnificent views, especially at night. Whilst there were signs of aging, particularly in the bathroom, the room generally had been maintained to a high level. The room was spacious, airy and had a touch of opulence. The bed was super comfortable and the rain shower had good pressure with very hot water. A nice touch was the free mini bar (soft drinks and snacks only). The grounds at the back of the Montien are quite beautiful, large lawned area next to the river and plenty of seating available to enjoy a cool drink or a meal. There is a van serving food in the evening and quite often piped or live music. A great place to chill out away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. The hotel provides a shuttle service (one way) that runs parallel to the river and stops at all the key tourist spots such as Iconsiam. I had a wonderful stay at the Montien and would be happy to return. I would however like to mention a few areas that need improvement. The WIFI first. In my near twenty years coming to Thailand and staying in numerous types of accommodation from guesthouses to high end resorts the Montein has the worst WIFI I have ever encountered. So many times I had to switch to mobile network because of the poor or inconsistent signal. This obviously cost me money. For those whose livelihood are dependant on a reliable WIFI network then this place would not be for you. My second biggest gripe is that there are no power points by the bed, unbelievable and quite frustrating. I would have loved to have given the Montien five stars but because of the poor WIFI and lack of powerpoints I have deducted a point. Lastly, as a suggestion to management, why do you mot engage the service of a shuttle boat? You have a little dock in the river at the rear of the hotel and it would be a wonderful benefit to your paying guests. Apart form the negatives I mentioned above I can highly recommend the Montein Riverside for a relaxing stay with a touch of luxury.

Hotel is in the prime location but as per the photos in the app while booking it was not like same. This is first time when a hotel charge for luggage handling when you checkout and go for 3 to 4 hours outside before taking the flight. Beds are making sound while you take a side also.

The hotel is very fantastic. Big and beautiful But the rooms have to make repairs all the facilities are old The hotel offers bathrobes - we didn't have any, apparently they don't supply all the rooms. The cleanliness of the room is lacking - they don't clean continuously, put the wet towels back on the hanger instead of changing them. There is no further word about the bedding - they did not change it but arranged it. There are a lot of cockroaches in the rooms and parts of the hotel. Spraying is needed, in order to clean the room we moved the chair to throw out the cockroach we found in the room. The cleaner apparently considered him one of the guests because she simply moved him to the entrance. The furniture in the room is beautiful but old.. hot water handles are missing - not enough for a long time. Sometimes you have to wait a long time. We did not enjoy hot water

Location wise is very good in the middle of Chinatown. Pros in staying here is u won't get hungry every where is food. 7/11 is also beside only.still got mini money charger outside hotel if u run out of bath. Will still here again next time. MRT is also 3 mins walk. Service is good too.

First of all, thank you for the complimentary airport pick up at BKK, good coordination and English communication from your staff, Wimonrat sukrasebya further helped me in getting a comfortable and speedy ride to the hotel. 👍👍👍 Being a solo and leisure traveler, I was not able to take a swim and sunbath after breakfast as the swimming pool is located on the west side of the hotel. This means the sun won't hit the swimming pool until 2pm. This has really ruined my trip and I was very disappointed but I know there is nothing the management can do about it.😅😅😅 Then the next issue is the bathroom. First, the water faucet is located too close to the edge of the sink, so water splashes around the entire sink top and everything is wet. Please see the attached photos. Secondly, the shower cubicle does not have a door and result in water splash again. But luckily this can solved by putting a floor towel outside the area to avoid slipping. 😩😩😩 Moreover, it is the English level of the staff. It is not up to par in such an international renounced hotel management property. I got my toe hurt in the swimming pool and then asked for an adhesive bandage, but noone understood what I said on the phone until they saw the attached photo. Later on, the staff told me that they run out of bandages. Eventually, they managed to get me a couple of them to stop the bleeding. 😅😅😅 Finally, I would say the service and friendliness of the staff was good and responsive. It would be much better if they can get more training in the language skill especially in English. In conclusion, I have to say that I won't be staying with that hotel again in my future visits to BKK, simply because the swimming pool is really bothering me as I won't be able to get sunbath and a swim in the morning after breakfast.

One of the hardest recommended Hotel I’ve ever given. First I have to list all the not-so-good things: 1. The room is old. You can feel it the moment you enter the room. The case for the air conditioner controller is broken (the controller is still working fine). The carpet is clean but old and out of fashion. The air conditioner’ fan runs like a jet engine. 2. The checkin/checkout lines are not optimized in work flow. It took at best 5 minutes just to checkin 2 persons, at worst 40 minutes for a group checkin. So I had one of the worst checkin time ever. I had to wait in line for 50 minutes for my turn. 3. The towels had some stains. They are clean though. But even with those negative things I still have a lot of good things to say: 1. Location, location, location. Ambassador is on the CBD of Bangkok. Which means you can go to other places very cheap and very quickly. It is close to the Nana BTS and Sukhumvit MRT. You can go to Terminal 21 for shopping and dining. Many other services are nearby. 2. The price is very affordable. Price/performance of the room is not bad at all. With the same price you can only have a smaller and worse location room of other hotels or homestay. 3. If you intend to go outside a lot during daytime then the room is not that bad. The shower and bed were really all my need and they worked just fine. 4. The Sky wing suite has a really good view of Bangkok 5. The staff are very nice and polite. I don’t have any negative moment regarding the staff. The hotel mainly targets Indian groups that join conventions or meetings. So they don’t renew the facilities frequently. But I think they are still good enough for your stay. Overall, if you can pay more, there are better options of course. But your budget is limited then you should definitely short-list this hotel.
