Most hospitable and accommodating staff, CLEAN (no ants/bugs) daily thorough cleaning by exceptional staff, spacious comfortable rooms with larger (medium size) fridge and large desk/table, VERY quiet hotel and neighborhood, no smell of cigarettes and weed, lush vegetation tall palms if you get garden view room. pool is not shaded so water stays warm. gym has concept 2 rower, treadmill, weights, etc. restaurant is permanently closed but there are multiple grocery stores very close. no laundry facilities but there is a coin operated washer across the alley from 7-eleven a short walk away. we had two rooms. one the wifi was fast as the access point was outside the door. the other room wifi worked but sometimes difficult to stay connected as it was between access points. a bit annoying to login every single time for the free wifi and have to request new login paper every 3 days. don't toss the paper as the login screen doesn't have option for remembering username and password.
note to management: compared to our favorite go to place in bangkok, this is a very close second and maybe even tied for first as we had such a comfortable stress free stay. we will be back especially as our favorite place is often booked or not available the entire duration of our frequent trips to Bangkok. it could easily beat our favorite place if it offered a simple breakfast of fresh fruit, eggs, etc, offered coin operated washer and dryer, and had a shared microwave available for guests to use (the other place also offers free coffee, hot chocolate and snacks throughout the day and towels at the swimming pool and no need to login to wifi) overall we love riomonte and can't wait to come back for a...
Read moreWe had a great stay at Rio Monte Residence, located in a quiet and peaceful part of Bangkok. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and well-equipped with everything you need, comfortable beds, a nice TV, fridge, kettle, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a small balcony. There’s also a desk in the room, which is perfect for digital nomads.|The pool is lovely, and the property is surrounded by trees, giving it the feel of a tranquil oasis. The on-site gym is well-appointed with top-quality equipment, all kept in pristine condition.|Conveniently, there's a 7-Eleven right across the street, along with plenty of street food and local shops. A bit further away is Asiatique The Riverfront, which is about a 20–30 minute walk. Otherwise, Grab rides are readily available to get you anywhere in Bangkok.|The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. A special thank you to Pat for assisting us with booking our next travel destination. We had such a relaxed and enjoyable time at Rio Monte Residence that we ended up booking another three nights before our return to the UK.|Check out my YouTube channel, Peter Haida, to see videos of the hotel...
Read moreThis absolute gem of a hotel in Bangkok is quiet, safe, and delightful The staff are lovely (we used google translate to communicate clearly), the pool is great, the rooms are big and have good comfortable furniture. Huge fridge, kettle, tea, coffee. So many considerate helpful additions in the room. Lovely balcony with extra sink. Cleaning staff visit each day with new towels and sheets. Great upkeep. We also found a great travel hack. Walk to asiatique and take the free shuttle boat to sathorn. It runs until at least 23.00. This solved the issue of being slightly out of town. But peaceful nights, with trees and songbirds fully made up for the slight walk to the pier. A taxi was very cheap into the centre. We now hope to make this our ‘go-to’ hotel, as we are often in and out of Bangkok when travelling. If you want a true Thai neighbourhood in Bangkok, and are tired of noise and crazy traffic, try this place. Thank you to all the staff for your gracious service. We will return. I...
