During our week-long stay at Navalai River Resort, we were impressed by the spacious rooms with stunning river views and a lovely pool area. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, which made our experience even better. However, we did encounter a significant issue with the service at check-in that left a negative impression, as well as some concerns over pricing for additional guests. Despite this, the overall value for money is still quite reasonable.

Staying at this hotel in Bangkok was a fantastic experience overall. It has a great location right by the river, allowing easy access to the water taxis, and Khao San Road is just a short walk away. The rooms are comfortable and clean, making it a wonderful place to unwind after a day of exploration. However, the dining options could use some improvement, particularly the breakfast, which was somewhat lacking in flavor. The pool is definitely a highlight, providing stunning views of the river.

I had an average experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic for exploring Bangkok, particularly with the river ferry right outside, and the cleanliness of the room was appreciated. However, the room allocation was frustrating as I didn't receive the Riverside room I paid for, and some furnishings felt outdated. Overall, it had its perks, but there were some disappointments as well.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location is unbeatable, right along the river and close to ferry boats, making it easy to explore the area. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable, but I was disappointed with the lack of a river view as promised. The service was a letdown, as the staff was unhelpful regarding our room issue. While the breakfast was enjoyable, some facilities need improvement. Overall, it’s a decent stay, but not without its challenges.
