Ibis Bangkok Riverside

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 On the downside, the rooms are noticeably outdated and need renovation.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.
