This was probably one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at! It was amazing! (づ> v

Lovely hotel in a brilliant location with lovely gardens. The boat free shuttle service is a definite plus.
The staff were super friendly and helpful. The service with a smile made our stay even more enjoyable.
The family suite was a bit smaller than I had hoped for but manageable.
Hotel restaurants were great but staying in Bangkok we did try a few external restaurants on our excursions.
Thank you Riverside for our lovely stay.

1. I booked a riverview room, but actual room was facing river at an angle rather than facing straight at the river : more of a semi-riverside view since cuz windows r seeing only half of the river, half just buildings
2. There were too many ants in my room on the seventh floor, and I have no idea where they were coming from. Maybe they crawled up the building wall? Most of the food from room service was consumed by aaaaaannnnnnttttts; they were everywhere—on my laptop keyboard and even on my luggage.
3. Fortunately the room service menu was mediocre. The desserts were generally too sweet
4. The breakfast buffet was too spread out, and I had to walk a long way to gather food, some of which was outdoors in the humid heat. I didn’t like walking that far. Overall it was too crowded, and the seating areas felt too open. I prefer corners, but there were very few. On the second day, one staff member couldn’t find my room number (they had on the first day), and a male staff member shouted too loudly to welcome new customers, which startled me while I was waiting to exit the restaurant. These things might be small but kinda affect experience
5. Was nice that I could take a boat to Iconsiam. However they dropped me off at Sathorn, and I had to wait and buy another ticket to Iconsiam. When I asked about getting from Iconsiam to Anantara, the ticket booth told me I needed to buy a ticket to the hotel, which I did, but it felt like I got micro scammed(?)
6. The bar by the riverside was fantastic, tasty cocktail and foods😍💯 but the indoor cafe was a bit disappointing. Gonna write separate reviews for them.
7. The pool had its own vibe, but it closed early, which was a downside for me since I prefer swimming before sunrise and after sunset. I hate 🌞
8. Wifi was perfectly fast, laundry service was also quick, thanks.
9. I ordered food through grab, but the driver wasn't allowed to come to my door. The concierge called me and said they would deliver it to my room instead. Then, someone—who I think was security—came to get my food and looked really angry, saying I should go to the lobby!!!!! for security reasons!!!!!!! But the lobby is a five-minute walk away in this hot weather since it's in another building🥺I dont wanna sweat for my meal.. I ended up giving up on ordering from grab during my stay, and room service didn’t look appealing either.(tried and failed) The hotel I’m staying at after Anantara has a dedicated box for delivery orders, so I hope they implement this little but convenient feature.
10. I called grab transport to move to the next hotel, securities at the entrance knocked hard the trunk of grab car(tbh who does that to other's car unless its friend's or family's??) and was chatting with each other while putting my luggage, overall just....meh

Four night stay and wish it was longer. In fact I’d go back tomorrow. Beautiful full service resort, lovely gardens and rooms and beautiful public areas. The cafe was great and we loved the boat rides into town and to the amazing IconSiam shopping centre. Delightful staff and a breakfast buffet with huge choice of excellent quality. It’s the tropics so I don’t understand people grizzling about the heat, the damp, the rain. Pool area could be a bit crowded with other peoples kids lol but the design is good and there were heaps of sun lounges (unlike at lots of places) and you could find a relaxing spot to sit. Staff delightful - I saw them do an incredible job serving dinner to some ‘high maintenance’ patrons through tropical storms while getting drenched and they didn’t miss a beat.

Yeah.. it's definitely worth the stay. Anantara has been nearly flawless in all of our stays. This is another that is in the running for our favorite hotel in Bangkok. Absolutely recommended!
