Amdaeng Bangkok Riverside Hotel

What an amazingly cute boutique hotel with all the most thoughtful touches

Only downside is it is not the easiest place to get to, but worth it if you want to stay in a magical little isolated corner of Bangkok!

The style, the whole look, the staff, breakfast

The shower floor had a lot of calcium build up and the curtain had blood on it and needed to be sewn back up. The curtain is stained and nothing that a good bleach job won't fix. This is not their fault, but the location made it difficult to get around

I love that it’s on the river. You can watch boats and fruit bats cruise by. The bed was comfortable and the clawfoot tub was fun. I also like the hotel’s decor and ambiance. It reminds me of a vampire inn with a rooftop bar, dark red paint and nightly flying fox sightings. The staff were all very nice and made sure I was comfortable. It’s an older hotel and the pool remains covered. It sounded like they would have taken the cover off if I had requested to swim. If you typically go for modern luxury hotels and/or want easy access to a pool or a place to sunbathe, this may not be the right choice for you. However, I would happily stay there again.

It seemed a bit out of the way for subway trains. It’s a little tricky to find the first time.

Great little boutique hotel with prime river view, great balcony & quaint room styling.

Helpful and nice staff. My girlfriend loved the quirky vibe. Fair value.

Parts of the room needed dusting and there are signs of needed maintenance / paint.

The location is great. We spent a lot of time going to the new mall which is literally 10 minutes away walking. The mall besides to the beautiful, it offers many choices for food and shopping. Also, its a stop for the hop on and hop off boat.

Mosquitos and the pool wasn't as great. We didn't go in. To be fair, it was also the idea of finding locals like the big lizards that live near by.

Good bed and comfy pillows. Lady behind the desk was very polite and tried hard.

Our outlook was a covered swimming pool. Balcony room for 1 chair, when seated can’t see over balcony. Ran out of sachet coffee for room. Drains blocked and driveway flooded. Someone smoked weed in their room and it came thru the air con and smelt disgusting. Location wasn’t that good. Very old, quirky hotel

The hotel was right next to the river with a lovely view. There was a really good restaurant on the ground floor with live music. The food was also very good and we had a great time.

The location and heritage

It was a bit random in terms of how it was laid out. The room was absolutely beautiful with a river view

Friendly helpful staff, great location although a little difficult to find.Air conditioned rooms were wonderful.Transport to the main road was a delight!!!

Housekeeping let them down.

Do not stay at this place. At the same price you find such so many amazing places in Bangkok. The place is a proper catfish - opposite of the pictures they show. Dirty. Falling apart. Surrounded by slums.

This is a good hotel for those who want one of the following things : 1. You are looking to dig deeper into actual Bangkok, the every-day side of the city and to really feel the local vibe of it. It's in a really cool location, with fun things to eat, see and do all around on the opposite bank of the river. 2. You've been to Bangkok many times before and you want to escape but still be in the city. Something quiet. Maybe with a romantic partner, where you want a great bed, and a killer view of the river with a good book. Breakfast is good. Beds are super comfy and the staff is nice. It's truly very peaceful watching the river.

The hotel needs a few moments of paint love at this point. Things were a little scratched. It's also very dark. Even in the daytime in the lobby, it's very shadowy. All the walls are red and the furnishings are black and it gives it almost a gothic kind of vibe that's at odds with sunny Bangkok outside. The pool was also covered and not in use when we were there, which was a bummer. Finally, I did not love our bathroom situation. The bathroom is cool, but awkward. There are two thin lace curtains you can pull around, but the toilet and shower are encased in glass. If you don't pull those (and let's be honest, even if you do) you are watching someone use the restroom. It was fine for us as a married couple, until my husband got some slight food poisoning. I went out and got a beer so he could have the room. Haha. I think if you're like a parent and a teenager or friends traveling, this bathroom is really really awkward. I'm just overall tired of "sexy" bathrooms. Make a door.

This place is a bit dated. The room decor is very niche. Love the balcony overlooking the river.

I didn't love that they had the pool cover on all the time. I understand because the tree above it dropped stuff into it all the time but that's part of the deal really. You had to ask them to remove the pool cover to use the pool so nobody ever used the pool because nobody wanted to ask them to remove the pool cover.

This hotel is situated right next to the river and has spectacular views over the city. It's a boutique hotel with eclectic decor - the room are beautifully decorated with antique style furniture although the toilet and shower had glass doors and walls which was a little odd. It's a little like stepping back in time to the fifties for ambience but the service is first class and everyone was friendly and very helpful. Comfortable rooms and close to a skyrail station for easy travel to/from the city centre.

The restaurant has a limited vegetarian menu which wasn't to my taste, and breakfast didn't have any Thai/Asian vegetarian options. I found other restaurants nearby with Thai vegetarian food which was better for me. The location is also hard to find as it's down a small alleyway off another small road. The roof top bar wasn't open but the hotel can be noisy at night with music playing on the river boats and the lift mechanism is also quite loud. None of this bothered me at all, but if you are a light sleeper maybe best to bring earplugs.

Its a unique property in a lovely neighbour of Bangkok and doesn't feel touristy.

the property needs to be better maintained, it currently feels like its passed its prime. The rooms could do with separation between the toilet and the rest of the living space.

Everything about this place was fantastic. A great start to our holiday.The staff were exceptional. The position was fantastic. Live band on the rooftop bar. Mind blowing view of the river. I can't recommend this enough. Brilliant. A real introduction to Thailand.

Pleasant

Breakfast was very simple. Menu for lunch and dinner was shirt and pricy

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely room with a view of the river. It was great sitting on the balcony watching the boats go by. We liked the small nature of the hotel and the idiosyncratic decor. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast was varied and ample.We liked the location and being out of the busy traffic and highrise area and yet it was an easy walk to the ferries and Iconsiam.

It wasn't really an issue for us but the approach to the hotel is up a slightly scruffy alley way. We arrived at night and it probably looked worse. In daylight it was fine and we felt perfectly safe walking about.

Dissapointing

The hotel felt like it didn’t have much work done to it in years. Paint chipped of the wall, bad service, not very clean. It just wasn’t very nice compared to many other hotels we stayed in in Bangkok that always have the highest standard.

Located on the river. Kind staff.

Mould in the bathroom, all the property maintained badly. Which is sad as it probably was great when it was just opened.
