The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, and the charming elephant-shaped towel brought a smile to our faces. Additionally, the turndown service provided before bedtime made our stay all the more pleasant.

Anatara Riverside is in my views the best hotel in Bangkok. Over the years I have stayed in nearly of the top hotels - Siam, Peninsula, Hansar, Okura, Mandarin Oriental, SO Sofitel, Marriott - just to name a few.

Anatara Riverside is in my views the best hotel in Bangkok. Over the years I have stayed in nearly of the top hotels - Siam, Peninsula, Hansar, Okura, Mandarin Oriental, SO Sofitel, Marriott - just to name a few. There is just something about this hotel that beats many other places. Yes, the rooms are dated, but at the same time well kept. Also, the location is bit off the map but that makes this place even more special: with 15 minute boat ride you are connected to the Bangkok Sky Train System and river boats and you can get basically anywhere. The gardens and the pool are the absolute highlights of this hotel. The pool is a 3.0 metres deep on the other end which is a rare find in Bangkok, where most hotel pools are shallow and decorative. The pool is not only deep but huge, well-maintained, and surrounded by tropical greenery. There’s plenty of space for laps or just floating in peace. It’s ideal for confident swimmers or anyone who enjoys more than just a splash. While diving is not allowed (for safety), the depth gives it a luxurious, resort-style feel. If you’re a swimmer or just someone who appreciates a true pool experience in a city hotel, Anantara Riverside is absolutely worth it. There are some downsides however: - in places thia hotel is dated though well kept. For years this has been the issue with this hotel - being in a brink of a needed to be closed down for a long time for complete renovation. - breakfast that is now served at Trader’s Vic, a Polynesian themed restaurant - can get extremely busy and chaotic. The usual breakfast restaurant is under renovation at least until October 2025 Read less
