ibis Bangkok Riverside

Khlong San / Thonburi riverside, near ICONSIAM

Guest sentiment

A budget ibis directly on the Chao Phraya River in Khlong San, with river-view rooms, two pools, and family rooms with bunk beds -- unusually well-equipped for the tier.

Last updated August 9, 2026

ibis Bangkok Riverside sits on the Chao Phraya River in Khlong San, near ICONSIAM on the Thonburi side, a genuinely different property from the brand's ibis Bangkok Sukhumvit 24 location. Independent write-ups and large volumes of guest reviews consistently praise the riverside pool, river-view rooms, and family-friendly touches unusual for the ibis budget tier, including bunk-bed family rooms with an in-room games console. The hotel's only complimentary shuttle is a bus to BTS Krung Thon Buri station -- despite its riverside setting it does not run a free shuttle boat -- and bathrooms are consistently reported as small with no bathtub.

  • Consistently praised, friendly staff
  • Two pools, an on-site restaurant/bar and a riverfront terrace, unusual value for the ibis budget tier

  • Breakfast buffet consistently called generous and tasty

Cons

The research view

What the research keeps finding

Medium confidence

Themes that came up again and again across independent reviews — not a single opinion, but the patterns that repeat.

Consistently praised

  • Independent write-ups and guest reviews consistently rate the riverside pool, river-view rooms and staff friendliness as the property's strongest points for a budget-tier ibis
  • Confirmed as a distinct property from ibis Bangkok Sukhumvit 24: different neighborhood and amenity mix (this property has pools; Sukhumvit 24 does not)
  • Family-oriented touches (bunk-bed family rooms with a games console, kids' play area) are unusual for the ibis economy tier and repeatedly called out by reviewers

Worth knowing before you book

  • The hotel does not run a free shuttle boat -- its only complimentary shuttle is a bus to BTS Krung Thon Buri station; a nearby river ferry pier is a separate, paid public service
  • Bathrooms are consistently reported as small with no bathtub, and a minority of reviews cite thin walls or AC noise

Frequently asked questions

Does ibis Bangkok Riverside have a free shuttle boat across the Chao Phraya River?

No -- the hotel's only complimentary shuttle is a bus to BTS Krung Thon Buri station. A public cross-river ferry pier is a short walk away and connects to Wat Arun and ICONSIAM, but that ferry is a paid public service, not a hotel-operated boat.

Is ibis Bangkok Riverside the same hotel as ibis Bangkok Sukhumvit 24?

No, they are two separate ibis properties. Riverside sits on the Chao Phraya River in Khlong San/Thonburi with pools and family rooms, while Sukhumvit 24 is in the Sukhumvit shopping district near Phrom Phong BTS with no pool.
