Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort

what a retreat in bustling Bangkok

Prós: everything great! nice room, very good breakfast sitting right on riverfront with fantastic view, amazing pool area, plenty of restaurants with high quality and good choices, very calm, you can hear the birds and the waterfalls, and this in the city. Also shopping mall is directly accessible with some food choices ( try Sushi, really good), although not big. Staff is superb and very helpful. This is not just a hotel it is a paradise resort in bangkok. On arrival you already feel relaxed the first moment. I have tried many hotels in Bangkok and I will certainly come back whenever I have the chance. Highly recommended. Not near BTS but just 10 minutes by taxi to next BTS station and 40 min. with low traffic to airport, acceptable, also shuttle boat service to BTS

Contras: absolutely nothing to complain about!

Great Hotel-Resort in Bangkok

Prós: One of the best hotel staffs I've ever encountered. Very nice resort-hotel. Great dinning options, other dinning options located in adjacent shopping mall. Small 7-11 store a crossed street. Nice large pool area

Contras: Only negative was the small river channel on the property was very smelly at low tide. Only time I noticed it was at mid afternoon. Not a deal breaker. All in all this is a great hotel that I would stay at again and again.

Excellent stay....and a smartphone included during

Prós: The pool, food, room and service were all wonderful. The best touch? A smartphone included in your room for your use during the extent of your stay - including free unlimited local calls, free international calls to certain countries, free internet to explore...what an amazing benefit!!

Prós: friendliness- buffet breakfast

Contras: confusion among staff as to whether the breakfast was covered by my conference or not. In the end the manager agreed to half price and at that point it wasn't worth arguing about any longer.
