GLOW Riverside is a great hotel right on the banks of the river, but very quiet. It has nice views of the river with the pool and restaurant overlooking it. There is a nice gym and the rooms are clean with very comfortable beds. Even our standard room was large with a large balcony. There was a buffet breakfast included with our stay that offered a full spread of Thai and Western dishes. The hotel is located near Chinatown

I absolutely loved this place. I’m now thinking it’s my go to place when I’m in BKK. The location on the river is amazing. I loved the pool and the gym was great. My only slight criticism was with the portion size of the Club Sandwich-it was half what I expected. However the Pork Chop was delicious. All the staff made my stay extra special in particular Newtie who works in Housekeeping. I totally recommend and can’t wait to return. Thank you all

The omelette is The best way to go for breakfast. They will respect your privacy here. Very nice swimming pool. Great ambience out there as well as great pool. The only strike against this place is that it’s slightly off the beaten track. But if you don’t mind 3-4 USD dollars on a cab ride, you’re good here.
