Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel

Bangkok, Thailand

Virgin rating

The hotel

They say Wat Arun is the best place to see the sunset in Bangkok – but it has a rival in Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel. Up on the rooftop of this central urban retreat, just moments from Riverside Plaza, the infinity pool appears to teeter over the vast Chao Phraya River, letting you gaze out over life on the river in the daytime, and watch the bright lights of Bangkok glittering as night draws in. You can also catch those skyline views from your guestroom, as you dine on Pacific Rim cuisine at Trader Vic’s, and from the roof-capping SEEN Restaurant & Bar, where the al fresco dining deck is scattered with nightlights and lanterns.

The hotel reception is located above the shopping mall for which you access from the hotels own entrance. We arrived a little early but we only needed to wait 5 minutes before our room was available. As with all rooms in the hotel they give an excellent view of bangkok, and we we could quite happily look out the full length window at night taking in the city and river traffic views. The room was quiet with ample power sockets and USB connections. The bed was comfortable allowing an uninterrupted nights sleep. The Bathroom area could be closed off from the living area by the sliding doors. The breakfast was acceptable but a few more items to select would not have gone amiss. Just a very minor comment. The restaurant at the top has excellent views and the food is what you would expect at this range of hotel. The high winds can cause and issue as my main course ended up being blown out of the waitress hands. I did also have to chase up my drinks order a couple of times. There are some food and drink options in the Mall under the hotel, including Starbucks, Burger King and a Pizza restaurant amongst others. The Hotel is located a distance from the centre, but the complementary boat from the adjacent Anantara hotel to either the ICON Siam Shopping Mall or Saphan Taksin skytrain station , where you can get to most areas direct or transfer to MRT avoids the Bangkok traffic and takes about 20 minutes. The river journey can be a bit choppy due to the wash from the other river traffic. A taxi to ICON Siam costs about 70 baht. Read less

We had an absolutely amazing time staying in this hotel celebrating my husband’s birthday. It’s not easy to find a hotel with river view while it has a modern decor and bathtub with stunning city view. I finally found this Avani+ and I was not disappointed at all.

We had an absolutely amazing time staying in this hotel celebrating my husband’s birthday. It’s not easy to find a hotel with river view while it has a modern decor and bathtub with stunning city view. I finally found this Avani+ and I was not disappointed at all. The room was spacious and spotless with modern decor and crisp bed sheets. Candice, who handled our advance booking and check-in gave us a very sweet memorable surprise in our room for the birthday celebration. And that’s not it, they even sent a team singing birthday song with a Thai style birthday cake to my husband, it really caught us in surprise! We had such an enjoyable time staying in this hotel and will be on our A+ hotel list in our next Bangkok stay. Read less

Not impressed with the hotel, not my kind but was guided by your agent when I booked. Little on the posing side for me. Nowhere really to relax apart from the rooftop, where the music constantly blasts out like you are in a club 24:7, it’s even in the lifts, nothing relaxing about that for me, smell of heavy fragrance throughout the lobby… Read more
Not impressed with the hotel, not my kind but was guided by your agent when I booked. Little on the posing side for me. Nowhere really to relax apart from the rooftop, where the music constantly blasts out like you are in a club 24:7, it’s even in the lifts, nothing relaxing about that for me, smell of heavy fragrance throughout the lobby reminded me of being in Abercrombie & Fitch. Dining room seating is filthy dirty, stained and could do with replacing. I have come across to the Anatara opposite at a charge of THB 500 to use the beautiful pool facility and peacefulness. Avani not the place for me Read less

Impressed and grateful for all the arrangements made by the hotel to elevate my wife's birthday celebratory trip to Bangkok. This included setting up the room prior to check in and serving a large slice of birthday cake at the appointed time. Another thing that stood out was the innovative hotel's app chat function - it's like the "0" hotline for the texting/WhatsApp generation but giving round-the-clock access to advice and services even when out and about in Bangkok. A truly excellent feature. Additionally, the hotel's gym, boasting a breathtaking view of the Chao Phraya River, added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. All of this contributed to making our second stay at an Avani property an outstanding experience. Read less
