Bangkok hotellit Bang Kho Laem

Plussat: My favourite hotel in Bangkok. Great staff so friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfast buffet, great for dinner as well. Will stay here again, this is our 5th stay.

Miinukset: Same problem with most Thai hotels gotta wait for hot water.

Plussat: Outstanding hotel! Spacious rooms and suites, stunning views of the river, restaurant for breakfast and drinks by the river, staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast is very good. The pool is very good with great river views. The international buffet dinner is well worth it.

Miinukset: The location isn’t great apart from being on the river with a very limited range of places to eat or drink in walking distance. It takes a long time to get to it by taxi from the airport due to the Bangkok traffic. The fitness centre/ gym on 4th floor is very poor - 3* rather than 5* - even basic machines are lacking for a workout and very small.

Plussat: Amazing facilities and very good stuff

Miinukset: Very hot and no AC available on elevators and hall

Plussat: Very Good Mixture of Services, product and location. Swimmingpool excellent.

Plussat: Great location with access to the river- free shuttle boat was very useful to access the City. Pool was nice. Staff were lovely. Everything very clean - great value for money.

Miinukset: Nothing - everything was good.

Plussat: Huone todella mukava ja iso. Huoneen parveke josta näkymät sekä kaupungille ja joelle iso plussa. Aamiainen kattava. Allasalue todella mukava ja riittävän iso. Allasalueelta hyvät näkymät joelle. Hotellin tarjoama venekyyti lähimmälle asemalle plussaa, muutenkin jokea pitkin liikkuminen helpoin tapa tutustua Bangkokiin.

Plussat: Great breakfast buffet, lovely pool...

Plussat: Täydellinen aamupala, todella ystävällinen henkilökunta, upeat huoneet, hieno uima-allas.

Plussat: Beautiful rooms with amazing views over the river. Newly decorated, very nice. Breakfast one of the best we had in BKK. Would go for a riverview room, really worth paying the extra. Stayed in 1 bed apartment.

Plussat: Todella hyvä aamiainen, loistava sijainti. Kerrassaan mahtava honeymoon 25 v hotelli.

Plussat: Everything in this hotel is top notch, but it aint cheap. Breakfast was da bomb.

Miinukset: We prefer a smaller hotel in an location where you can walk to a nice area with bars and restaurants. For this hotel you first needed the free water shuttle to the boat and BTS station and then another boat or train to get to interesting area's. In the overcrowded pool most ppl were swimming with clothes on. Rationally that is smart, it will protect from the sun. But it made us less wanting to join the swimmers.

Plussat: Koko paketti erinomainen!

Plussat: The staff (in particular Miss Cherry) made us feel warm and welcome.

Miinukset: The location is rather remote and the air conditioner in our is very noisy and affect our sleep.

Plussat: Sauna, lauttakuljetus, sijainti, erikseen auringonottopaikka

Miinukset: Tympeä henkilökunta (poislukien nuoret neidit vastaanotossa ja herrat lautalla), epäsiisti huone, keskinkertainen aamiainen, kylmä Uima-allas, huono wifi. Paikka ei vastaa 5 tähden hotellia.

Plussat: We liked a lot being upgraded from the management to the executive lounge at the 15th floor.

Plussat: Staff very good

Miinukset: Old room

Plussat: Good pool area and handy boat shuttle to the pier.

Miinukset: Drinks at the pool bar were expensive.

Plussat: Excellent service from staff at the hotel, for any requirement. The executive lounge was fantastic.

Plussat: Sijainti oli kyllä loistava joen varrella. Huoneeseen kuulunut iso parveke oli mahtava paikka katsella ilta elämää. Loungen kuohuviini oli hyvää :) Mutta alkaa tämä hotelli olla 5 tähden hotelliksi jo ehtoopuolella. Siisti, mutta kuluneisuutta.

Miinukset: Mutta alkaa tämä hotelli olla 5 tähden hotelliksi jo ehtoopuolella. Siisti, mutta kuluneisuutta.

Plussat: I stayed with my family at the executive floor in a room with terrace. Very comfortable. Breakfast and other meals where excellent. We needed a wheel chair and it was provided by the hotel full time. The staff where always very helpful and attentive with us. We will be back.

Plussat: Expected all my expectation. Was showered with comforts. Go an upgradation and was pampered with hospitality... complimentary tea for the evening and complimentary alcoholic drink with light snacks for the night...... Made my stay worth... wish I could stay a little longer... Maybe next time

Miinukset: Not Applicable

Plussat: Free river shuttle service, reasonable location, some staff were nice, free upgrade room

Miinukset: Terrible service. Many staff charmless, WiFi bad / doesn’t work, tried to call someone to help connect and waited almost 1 hour, room dated, Didn’t replace shower gel etc., Not enough sockets in the room/many sockets didn’t work. Also have internal renovation so very noisy during the day.

Miinukset: Huoneet olivat jo aika kuluneet. Vaatis pientä päivitystä.

Plussat: Dining facilities, spacious bar area and good swimming pool, plus exclusive shuttle river boat. Concierge Mike was very helpful.

Plussat: Spacious lobby, room and bathroom.

Miinukset: The hotel was for sure very nice, when it opened many years ago. But now a bit outdated. Needs to be updated to meet todays standard. Many places in the hotel, it smells old. Bathroom floor is dangerous and VERY slippery. Very small tv in room. The furniture is old and outdated. Many noisy group tourists (Chinese). Check in took 20 minutes!!.....they offered breakfast coupons for 450 THB, to my confusion since I already booked breakfast on website for 750 THB !!!.....I asked them to correct this, so my breakfast charge would be correct at 450 THB. But they told me to contact Booking.com ........even though the hotel are responsible for all misinformation on the website. My first and last stay at this hotel!!

Plussat: Room service and management

Miinukset: Lifts are good but too old to look.

Plussat: Excellent hotel. From the beginning of our stay to our departure my wife and I experienced professionalism, courteousness and helpfulness. The hotel property is truly a gem. We enjoyed being greeted at the entrance by doormen with immaculate uniforms and who never dropped their professionalism each time we arrived or left the property. Every employee was always courteous whenever we approached with a question and never seemed annoyed or bothered. The property was always immaculate and polished. Our room was kept clean and ready for inspection. Our view of the river was a welcomed distraction that gave us beautiful views of Bangkok whether during the day or at night. We took advantage of the courtesy shuttle to both the Century shopping center and Asiatique market place. The complimentary Wifi always worked and was another welcomed ammentity. The breakfast buffet was very tasty and was a great way to begin our day. Cabs were always available and provided a stress free ending to our stay in Thailand. My wife and I would recommend this hotel to anyone who would enjoy a quiet, beautiful and elegant location. Thank you to the management and staff of the Motien Riverside Hotel. Please pass on our thanks!

Plussat: Clean and big place and clean air

Plussat: Beautiful hotel with everything you could need!! The staff were wonderful.

Miinukset: The location wasn’t amazing, but the staff were very helpful in calling taxis.

Miinukset: View over the Chao Praya River

Plussat: Breakfast was Excellent. Being a Muslim, with limited options, they served fried fish specially to us. Buffet Dinner was also very good, we enjoyed lots of Prawns. They also have shuttle service, which is very helpful. Staff is good Concierge is also very cooperative.

Miinukset: we could not find any nearby small shops or eating out places.

Plussat: A beautiful nod to the old days of classic hotels with an amazing interior foyer, and a real touch of class about it. We loved the quirky little things and the extraordinary professional people who work there. Fantastic views from the pool roof of the river...and the food was excellent....a no brainer decision for me.

Miinukset: Very little

Plussat: Large room with nice view

Plussat: Bistro by river side

Miinukset: hotel got a very good location. Spectacular view for river and Bangkok. Best years this property already gone. Design from 70's equipment too.

Plussat: I like everything in this hotel.

Plussat: The property is clean, even it’s old. If do renovation will be very good.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: clean room and friendly staff

Miinukset: the shower room floor was a little slippery when wet

Plussat: The room is clean and big

Plussat: Room was beautiful and bed very comfy

Miinukset: There was dust on the ceiling in parts of the bathroom and breakfast wasnt great also the pool isnt a pool its more like a large pond

Plussat: The room was clean and the breakfast was good.

Miinukset: The design of the room is simple, I could not find the closet or the hanger to hang my clothing even in the shower room. The curtain was useless, it could not cover the sun light outside totally so in the morning if you can’t sleep if you are sensitive to the light.

Plussat: Spacious rooms. Vicinity to Shrewsbury International School and Asiatique.

Miinukset: Room cleaning was too late. I came back to the room at 5:00pm and my room wasn't touched. So no room cleaning, no new towels for the second night.

Plussat: Nice and chill rooftop, good food! Ideal when arriving late from the airport and want a quick drink and some thai food. Great location close to Asiatique market and water taxis. Room was super nice and comfortable.

Miinukset: Staffs english is very limited so don't expect much help from them when asking how to get somewhere, etc.

Plussat: 1. Jacuzzi room is spacious and on high floor 2. The girl in the restaurant cooked good eggs.

Miinukset: 1. The staff are not friendly, i.e. no greetings when we walking in and out 2. The check-in process was alright, when we asked the reception staff about breakfast serving time, he said our room rate isn’t included daily breakfast, which is wrong. So I needed to look for the booking confirmation from booking.com to prove it - which is really unnecessary. 3. On booking.com confirmation, it’s written the check-out time is 12:00-13:00, so I assumed we can check out at latest 13:00, however, the reception staff said we have to check out at 12:00, we would be charged for later than 12:00, after we “liaised” with the senior reception staff, she said we can check out at latest 12:30. We will be charged Baht1000 for late check out at 13:00. So the next day, we received a call before 12:00 to remind us the check-out time is 12:00, the staff also mentioned if we’re late we will be charged baht1000. Very disappointing. 4. The jacuzzi is dirty, we’ve washed it for about 3 times and still there are some kind of dirts in the tub. 5. Room amenities are just essential, consider this hotel room is high, I expected more than just tooth brush / shower cap / sanitary bag / twinnings tea bags (only 2) / nestle coffee mix (not even a nespresso machine). 6. Rooftop restaurant looks tired, the food variety is very limited. Coffee is yucky. 7. No one introduce the room features to us, so we had no idea about the speakers for. 8. The room has only one curtain on the outside, so we drew the curtain, however, it became very windy at night and we needed to pull it back. But the sky gets really bright after 06:00, so I had to wake up and drew it again, stupid design I have to say.

Plussat: Clean & cozy

Miinukset: No spoon or fork in the jacuzzi room.

Plussat: Jacuzzi pool. Very comfortable with a bubble bath. relaxing like in heaven. room is very clean and pieces of stuff are good. 5 mins walk to the night market.

Miinukset: Price getting more and more expensive than before for the Jacuzzi room. A little bit far away from public transit.

Plussat: The design of the hotel was nice. The staff were nice. The jacuzzi was fabulous. I will recommend for someone to stay.

Miinukset: The hotel needed to touch up a bit soon. The edges of the wall or the bathtub looked old and a bit dirty.

Plussat: The design of the hotel is nice and comfortable

Miinukset: Location not really convenient and sound prove not good

Plussat: Overall is ok they have cheap foods and very near asiatique the floating market...the owner is very accomodating and friendly.

Miinukset: The only thing I hate is the air con outside is very noisy u can hear the sounds of the aircon inside our room 303 and the bed bit hard for me..

Plussat: We overslept and checked out 15 min late and they still had breakfast waiting for us and told us to take our time and eat more when we tried to hurry.

Miinukset: no window in the 3-bed-room. It was absolutely fine for a short stay, though I would prefer a window if I would stay for a week or longer.

Plussat: They near my Hause and my family there.

Miinukset: I can’t used discount from booking?Why you told us wenn payments then have discounted 500฿I not have is?

Plussat: Behave of staff in different hotels and guest houseses in Bangkok was not good even language problem, so difficult to talk to them, as well as problem for Muslim food there.

Plussat: The location is close to Asiatique just a 5min walking.

Miinukset: The hotel located exactly on the road and the windows wasn't sound proof so the cars sound was in the room even I'm staying at 4th floor . Some reception staff doesn't speak English at all .

Plussat: Nice staff who help me book the early taxi to airport.

Plussat: They are dodgy when it comes to budget travellers...I booked 300 baht value deal with them but I arrived at their premises I was told sister building hosts such paying guests..which was not same location rather further in the alley.

Miinukset: The staff speaks no English at all...you are left with no communication with them for ordinary everyday things...really frustrating. Then restrooms have no amenities at all...so bring everything with you if staying here.

Plussat: The room followed the price (do not stay in room much just for leave the backpack, sleep, go chill out more) the lady at reception also upgraded room for me when I’m arrived, thank for that.

Plussat: Location, near to riverside, pier and Asiatique shopping areas

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: the location and prices are good. You get what you pay for so don't over expect. This is basically a hostel with few private rooms too. We'd stay again if we were in the area. Its just off the river.

Miinukset: They don't take credit cards. That is something that should be vastly highlighted. It's not normal in this day and age. We got there without any cash on us so just know you need to have cash for the room and the deposit.
