New Siam Riverside

Great views of the river

What we say:

The most grandiose of the New Siam properties, New Siam Riverside is certainly up a step from their other offerings — the location, beside the Chao Phraya River, offers splendid views from the riverside rooms and the attached restaurant and swimming pool, but we found the rooms to be just adequate. New Siam's other properties are all in the guesthouse bracket, and while they call this property a guesthouse, it is in almost all respects a hotel. The result is a mishmashed business inhabiting a middle ground between the two styles of lodging. The rooms, while a little plain and sterile, are perfectly clean and comfortable. If you go for a riverside room, note not all riverview rooms have verandas. It's not all bad though — there's a well appointed riverside pool and a large terrace restaurant, and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly.The hotel is also well situated for the interesting Phra Athit Rd. Overall though, the New Siam Riverside didn't strike us as especially smashing value — it you really want to stay riverside, we'd suggest ponying up the extra money for the Navalai which is just up the road. All rooms include breakfast.

Great deal, new and well done

This place was still under construction when we first stayed there. It is finished now and very well done too. Great pool. River view is fun and interesting. Not many bugs somehow! Great buffet breakfast.

Expensive, but nice

Prices have now increased - 1190 for a Standard, 1590 for a Deluxe, but it's still cheap for a hotel right on the Chao Praya - and it is a very nice hotel. Breakfast is a little bland and the pool is a little cold, but the rooms are great and the service very professional.
