Amdaeng Bangkok Riverside Hotel

Loved the location on the river, the availability and friendly nature of all the staff. The ‘boutique’ style of the hotel was lovely, with comfortable amenities and balcony overlooking the river.

It was a little hard to access initially and the rooms needed a little refresh - just small, aesthetic things that needed attention.

We liked the river view and the local location. The staff were lovely.

The breakfast was average

The staff were lovely and the hotel was just like the pictures and the room with the river view was sensational.

The elevator didn’t go to the second floor but the staff helped with the luggage so didn’t even bother us

The staff tried their best, they were friendly and helpful. If you're wanting photos for your Instagram and aren't bothered about normal hotel stuff, you might like it here. If you're a couple, this might suit you, but there are better hotels.

In short, this hotel is very overpriced for what it is. We stayed in 5 hotels in Thailand during this visit and this one was by far the most expensive, more than twice the price of other, better hotels. We thought it would be a treat, but it wasn't even the best hotel we stayed in in Bangkok. The people running this hotel don't seem to have a hotel background, which is a shame because they could do so much more with it if they tried. - The pool was a big reason we booked this hotel, and unlike other reviewers here, we found it to be open and fairly clean. To get to it though you need to walk through reception. It's right outside the front door of the hotel, so your swim doesn't feel very private to begin with. This hotel is surrounded by a fairly poor community - Bangkok is like that, and I don't blame the hotel owners, but the local kids found it funny to shout things at us while we swam, and then they started throwing things at us. We didn't bother swimming again. And the whole pool is just 1.1m deep. - The area is just not well suited to hotel guests. If you eat in the hotel you might be OK, but if you want to go out and find food there's a real shortage of options. - The every day hotel stuff was just really badly handled. The batteries were dead in our TV remote and when I asked at reception you'd think they would have had some batteries. The first time I asked, the staff were eating and said they would bring some up, but that didn't happen. The next time I asked, they looked and looked for some batteries. In the end, they got the TV remote from a room that wasn't occupied and swapped the batteries, so that room's TV remote didn't work but mine did. - The toilet / bath / shower are only separated from the room by a curtain.
