Navalai River Resort Bangkok Reviews

Great view of the river from the front rooms, excellent riverside restaurant with great menu reasonably priced, riverboats stop directly in front,easy walking distance to cafes, restaurants, shops and Khao San road, good rooftop pool.

This is the best hotel location and nice to be move in, however if i said so good you guy will not trust me. note, this hote have some wrose part, that is thier communication in eng is a problem, but their are realy try to help. that is a good part.

Right on the river and just across the street from the side street that has numerous eating places, shops and vendors.

I realy enjoied my time in the hotel, the room was great and so is the service. and I will recomend to my friends about it .
thank you.

Excellent hotel on an excellent lacation. The hotel is located direct at the river, just near the pier of the river express boats. The hotel and the rooms are clean. The rooms are large, good beds and good equipped. The bath room is good (shower in the bath-tub, no hair dryer). The breakfast at the restaurant is good and in buffet form. The pool on the roof top is very good (when busy not enoug beds), good views over the river and sun set. The location of the hotel is perfect for visiting (bij river express boat (daytime)) the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Flower markets, Bangkok floating market, wat Arun and the Kao San district. No sky train (BTS) or metro nearby. In february 2009 there was reconstruction hassle of the nearby building. At the end of the year the reconstruction is ready.

Location not good if you want the shopping area and the the staff not very nice and helpfull

Easy access to the superb ferry system and to the old part of the city was great. We spent the first 3 nights in a river view room, which was very fine, until the ferries started running at about 5-6 am. A little noisy for light sleepers. The room was very clean, modern, and the roof top pool was great. On our way out of the country, we took a cheaper corner room for 2 nights, which are reportedly quiet. NOT! At least the ones overlooking the ferry access are not because at night, after the ferries stop running, part of the access way is converted into a bar which partied on until mid morning.

For the price we payd it was good , but the normal price is to much for this.

We had no sleep for two nights, the hotel is in a very noisy position with river boats stopping outside every few minutes with a guy blowing a whistle non stop, the poulution was dreadful, lovely outisde restaurant but again you choked on the fumes such a shame. The pool was cleaned at 6am and if your below it like us and other people it was a nightmare and if you did ever manage to sleep this would wake you up with the rollers on the cleaner. We complained and so did other people but by then your awake. Its was in a great position and a nice hotel, breakfast was dreadful and always cold with cold plates. The most amazing thing was this Boutique hotel does not have irons and iorning boards, obviously most people and travelling and need to iron clothes that have been in your suitcase for 24 hours, they could even bring one to the room so we had to walk around in screwed up clthes for two days. Not exactly Boutique !

Very good location - Pier is just behind the hotel. Nice, big, clean rooms with balcony. Helpful staff. Excelent breakfest, restaurant's terrasse with a nice view on the river.

friendly staff

Have to wait 30 mins before check in as they could not find the reservation. Requested for a high floor and got the lowest floor.
Everything else is good

It’s not a well known hotel but once you manage to tell your taxi driver that its on Phra Athit, Banglamphu you´ll definitely get there. From the front it’s not much to look at but the view from the back makes it all worthwhile. The front desk is on the inside so just proceed to the back area. It has a 7-11 on the ground floor, so you won´t go hungry if you´d like to have a bite in the middle of the night. We booked the Serene Corner room. Smaller than what I had expected but, for the price (1500 THB/night), it was well worth it. Quite a steal at the moment but their about to double the rates starting October 1 so it might get too expensive. I think the bed was a king so lots of space to roll around in if your that kind of sleeper. You can expect your rooms to be cleaned and fresh towels provided everyday. I actually accidentally left some jewelry lying about and was quite happy to have found them right where I left it so I think I can trust the staff at this hotel.

Breakfast Buffet´s nothing to talk about. Almost, the same everyday but still you’re not in Bangkok to eat hotel food right! And, you’ll have plenty of choices once you step out. Incidentally, there was this one night where we were too tired to look for food so we decided to eat at Aquatini, their in house restaurant, since breakfast was kind of blah, it was quite a surprise that it was quite tasty. Do try their soft-shell crab, really yummy.

In term of convenience, you can often catch a cab outside or if you’re adventurous catch the public ferry right at the back of the hotel. Do ask the front desk what flags stop at the Phra Athit pier so you’ll know how to comeback. If you’re traveling by yourself, this might be the best way to travel since it’s cheaper. But, if you’re 2 or more, you can easily catch a cab and spend the same amount of money.

It´s also very near Khao San Rd and Soi Rambuttri. Since you would be on vacation, its quite a lovely stroll during the night.

We weren’t able to try the pool but from the looks of it, it’s quite lovely. It just closes too early (9am to 6pm) so if you’d like to take a dip in the pool make sure you’re back before then.

My only concern was that the room electricity only functions with your key card and since only 1 key card is provided per room, you can expect that you’ll have to wait awhile before you feel the cooling A/C. Especially necessary since I think it’s generally quite hot in BKK. Also, if you decide to separate from your roommates, you’d have to leave your keycard at the front desk. Overall, my concerns are minor so I wouldn’t mind staying at this hotel again as long as they still have the discount. By the way, you are expected to pay 1000 THB cash deposit for the room keycard.

I´m the big fan, once i spent 6 nights with Navalai. i´d go back again next time. i´d recomment every traveler visit this property too.
Nice Staff,Nice Hotel,Great Location, Wonderful Pool and Restaurant´s view. Superb Decoration, Cool design, Excellent!!
