My husband and I stayed at the New Siam Riverside for 3 nights in June 2008. We were unable to book the hotel though the online booking system as it would not verify my credit card, which had nothing wrong with it. However, after several emails they agreed to hold the room without upfront payment. We used the hotel pick... more

We were looking for somewhere more suitable for the 'flashpacker', but with easy access to the sights and lively backpacker haven of koh san road. The New Siam Riverside is perfect if you want the backpacker location, but are willing to pay a little bit more for good value luxury. This place has a great breakfast included, overlooking the Chayopraya... more

This is a new mid-range hotel and it's exactly what we were looking for, at an excellent value - just US$75 per night for the Deluxe 2nd Floor Riverview rooms w-balcony. I searched extensively for just this kind of hotel in Bangkok, and felt this was the clear best choice. The rooms were clean and spacious, with pretty wood and... more

New Siam, was perfect what I was looking for. 1. Clean and nice room 2. Own bathroom 3. Near Khao San Rd 4. Next to the River & ferry. 5. Under $70 It met all of these criterea perfectly. And for me it was just far enough outside Khao San Rd, to not be right in with all the backpackers.... more

We stayed in New Siam Riverside twice in the last 4 months. The first time for 5 days in December 2007 and then again in April for 2 days. The first time the travel agent there was very helpful. There was no travel agent on duty in April- not sure why. Rooms are nice and clean- most are spacious. Nice... more

The New Siam riverside hotel is a fantastic retreat from the chaos of Bangkok. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it so much we stayed there before and after our trip to Koh Phangan. It's really central, only a few minutes walk from some great monastries, Kho San road and about 10 to 15mins walk from the Palace and the national... more

In contrast to some reviewers, I had a delightful stay - extending one night to three. Being right on the river was captivating and hypnotising. Excellent [free] breakfasts; a block only from the backpacker-scene; wonderful room with hot shower; mediocre TV [but who cares]. The service was fine, if one is a bit patient. more

The attiude here is so bad. It seems the reception finds it a bother when a guest asks something. I told them the air conditioner was making a noise--was not fixed, told them there is an awful smell like from the drains---i got a dirty look. The head receptionist shouts, & before u even have coffee she asks about paying.... more

We stayed at New Siam Riverside (not to be confused with its sister hostel New Siam III, now re-named Super Siam, which is a couple of streets away) on our arrival in Bangkok in Nov 2007 and liked it so much we immediately booked to stay there when we came back to Bangkok from the islands. This is a cut... more
