Ibis Bangkok Riverside

June 10-13, 2026 Four days, three nights, NT$4988, which is NT$1663 per night, excluding breakfast, for a twin room with a city view. The location is quite good. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to ICONSIAM. From the outdoor bar area, you can see the cruise boats and scenery on the Chao Phraya River, especially the colorful night view, which really captures the essence of Bangkok, Thailand. The housekeeping staff were very friendly and cleaned our room thoroughly every day. The young ladies at the bar area also provided excellent service. However, the front desk staff seemed less welcoming, perhaps due to a language barrier with us. The Ibis Riverside Bangkok is cleaner than the Ibis Hua Hin. The waterproof sealant in the bathroom looked new, as if it had just been replaced! However, the rooms are small, and the soundproofing isn't great. For the price, it feels a bit high. Since we'd had too many hotel breakfasts on this trip, we decided not to have breakfast at the Ibis Riverside this time, otherwise the price would have been even higher. It doesn't offer the same value for money as the Ibis Hua Hin.

The pool water is always purified and clean. It's probably 25 meters long, so there's plenty of room to swim. However, there are only two showers poolside, and only two shared toilets for those using the conference rooms, so there's always a wait. While I don't mind not having indoor showers by the pool, a changing room would be appreciated for getting dressed.

I stayed at Ibis Bangkok Riverside for a week. This hotel is a good fit for business trips or short stays of a few days, especially if your main goal is shopping and exploring the city. A big plus is its excellent location. IconSiam shopping mall is within walking distance, which is very convenient. I also liked the swimming pool: it was clean, and there were always plenty of available sun loungers. The breakfast selection wasn't very diverse, but I could always find something suitable each day. Room cleaning was done daily. On the downside, the rooms are noticeably outdated and need renovation. Additionally, the windows in the rooms don't open, and after a few days, this started to create a feeling of being in an enclosed space. Despite being a non-smoking room, there was a smell of dampness and tobacco. I'd like to specially mention the beautiful river view, which made the stay more pleasant. Overall, if you're considering the hotel for a few days for a business trip or shopping, it's a decent choice for the price.

A solid, no-frills place. The room was very clean. However, there's absolutely no soundproofing. I could even hear the farts from the next room, lol. The pool was good.

Cons: The bathroom smelled like sewage. They refused a late check-out, saying everything was booked, but we easily booked the room for another night through the app, which was unpleasant. The location turned out to be inconvenient for us, as we frequently traveled to the Lumpini Park area and constantly encountered traffic jams. Pros: Decent breakfast, you won't leave hungry. Pool and river view. Comfortable bed.

The hotel's location is excellent, right by the Chao Phraya River. We chose it specifically because we were bringing our dog, and the first pet stays free. It's also super convenient for walking to Iconsiam. The pool area is absolutely beautiful. My only complaint is that the hygiene wasn't very good.
