Bangkok / The stay, beyond the listing
28 Chareonkrung Soi 70, Bangkholame
The LodgeLens take
Consider it for the strengths below
A well-rounded riverside stay with spacious rooms, a strong pool, varied breakfast, and notably positive staff feedback. The main compromises are dated or uneven room condition, possible noise, and a location that requires transport for many central trips. Evidence supports a good option for travelers who value space and hotel facilities more than central convenience or consistently quiet, modern rooms.

Will you actually sleep here?

Sleep can be comfortable, but noise insulation keeps this from being a sure bet.
Check before bookingGuest reports identify weak sound insulation, including audible hotel music at night and noise from boats.
Sleep can be comfortable, but noise insulation keeps this from being a sure bet. Guests praise the beds and describe a quiet, relaxing setting, while others report nighttime music, boat noise or sound carrying between rooms; light sleepers should take note.
I would recommend this place to those who wants a quiet place
comfortable bed
the noise at night and uncomfortable bed made for a tiring stay
Soundproofing was an issue as well

What are the rooms actually like?
309 reviews about this · 148 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026. Limited evidence: treat this assessment as provisional.
The rooms stand out for space and views, though bathrooms can be a weak spot. Guests praise roomy, well-kept rooms and comfortable beds, but some mention hard beds or slippery shower tiles; prioritize the outlook and space over a flawless bathroom.
The Room: Our room was very spacious and kept in pristine condition

The bed was hard so I got a sore back

Rooms are often described as clean, but upkeep and dated details make the overall condition uneven. Guests also report occasional stains, unpleasant bathroom smells and maintenance issues, so this may disappoint anyone expecting a consistently fresh, modern finish.

Rooms are spacious and spotless with a great view of the river
it was a bit dirty
The decor is very dated and there is a lot of wear and tear
6/10. The combined picture is of generally clean, usable rooms with specific, documented maintenance and age limitations. Guests report wear, dated bathrooms, a leaking bath plug, and musty odors; others describe rooms as clean, modern, or well maintained. The score reflects this conflict and the limited nature of retrieved examples, not a claim about how often every guest encounters problems.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
Do the staff fix things when they go wrong?
352 reviews about this · 6 photos available · analyzed Oct 2026.
Staff are generally a strong point and guests often describe them as friendly and helpful. Check-in can be slow or chaotic, and some guests report less-warm service, but this should suit travelers who value attentive help while accepting a possible wait.
the staff were super friendly and always willing to help
easy check in and very professional reception staff
concierge senior staff is unusually not warm by thai standard
Check in chaotic and took too long
Is breakfast worth booking?

Breakfast has plenty to like, but queues and seating can take the shine off it.
Check before bookingSeveral supplied reviews report breakfast queues or insufficient tables; the selected reviews cannot establish how often this occurs.
Breakfast has plenty to like, but queues and seating can take the shine off it. Guests praise the variety and freshly prepared food, while some report long waits, too few tables or pricey, average drinks; book it if a substantial buffet matters more than a relaxed start.
Beautiful river view and the best buffet breackfast you can have
Ecellent coffee-making machine
there was not enough tables for breakfast and a long queue
But..the hot and cold drinks from the cafe were average quality with a premium price

Is the pool as good as the photos?

Check before bookingSome guests found the water too cold.
The pool looks like a real highlight, with room to swim and river and city views. Guests praise the pool and sunbeds, though some find the water cold and there is an isolated report of dirty water; it suits swimmers and view-seekers more than anyone wanting guaranteed warm water.
Swimming pool very clean and with ample amount of sun-beds
Pool was too cold Weekend shuttle boat only runs every hour
8.2/10: Strong documented swimming utility, with a guest specifically describing a longer lane, and favorable pool-area and river-view reports. Images support the elongated layout and deck seating, but cannot establish real-world size, cleanliness, or how busy it gets. The rating is moderated by reports of cold water and one report of dirty water and tiles. Corpus statistics detect 159 pool mentions, including 19 classified complaints; these are lower-bound counts, not prevalence estimates, and the complainers' average rating was 9.42. Retrieved reviews are relevance-selected examples, not a representative sample.
Evidence confidence: higher. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.
How well placed is it, really?

Guests rate this 8.7 (city average 8.5); our evidence assessment is 7.0. These use different methods and samples; the detail below explains our assessment.
The riverside setting is appealing, but this is not a walk-to-the-sights base.
Check before bookingNot a central, walk-to-the-sights location; guests describe relying on transport to reach major destinations.
The riverside setting is appealing, but this is not a walk-to-the-sights base. Guests find the shuttle boat useful for reaching transit and sightseeing, though its limited schedule and road traffic can slow trips; it suits travelers happy to plan around transport.
I liked that there was a 7-Eleven and ATM within walking distance and I enjoy the fact that it was easy to get around and that the hotel had amazing amenities
The hotel river boat shuttle to the BTS was really useful
had to walk from 18th floor twice in 2 days
The boat was only running every hour towards the end of our stay which was not enough
7/10. The riverside location has practical nearby services and guests report a boat connection to transit, but it is not a strong base for walking to central sights. One guest reports leaving early because it felt inconvenient, while another says frequent city-centre trips may not suit the location. The supplied reviews also describe variable boat frequency and school-related road congestion. The high provider location score is useful context, but these specific access limitations justify a more qualified assessment.
Evidence confidence: moderate. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.

Wi-Fi may be fine for casual use, but there is not enough evidence to count on it for work calls. Some guests praise the connection, yet speeds and video-call reliability are untested here; remote workers should have a backup.

6/10. There are five detected praise mentions and one complaint in the stored corpus, but the counts are imperfect lower bounds and the selected review examples do not describe Wi-Fi performance. No speed measurements or video-call evidence are available, so stronger claims are not justified.
Evidence confidence: limited. This is a model assessment, not a statistical probability. Limited or inconsistent sources reduce confidence.

There is a desk and chair in the room, but comfort for a full workday is unclear. Guest comments do not assess the setup, and the chairs shown vary; it may suit occasional laptop use, but not anyone who needs proven ergonomic support.
great WiFi
no cooking facilities Phones not working in apartment No internet access on TV Some maintenance issues need addressing Having to wait/queue for a table at breakfast!
7/10: A dedicated desk and chair are supported by the listing and several room images, with some views showing a window nearby. This supports a functional basic workspace, but images show differing chair designs and do not establish ergonomic comfort, outlet access, or monitor setup. Guest evidence is sparse and does not directly assess working at the desk.

There is a proper fitness room with cardio and strength equipment, though its range may feel limited for a hotel this size.
Check before bookingOne supplied guest specifically describes the gym as restricted, with limited machines for a hotel of this size.
There is a proper fitness room with cardio and strength equipment, though its range may feel limited for a hotel this size. Guests praise the gym, while some describe restricted or dated equipment; it should work for a basic workout, but may not satisfy equipment-focused training.
Super outdoor pool and great indoor gym
The Gym was quite restricted with limit machines
7/10: The gym exists and has a visible mix of cardio and strength equipment; several supplied guests praise it, including one who calls it excellent. The score is held below clearly strong because a guest reports a restricted selection of machines and another calls the equipment dated. The corpus detected 17 gym mentions, with one classified complaint and 16 praise; these counts are imperfect lower bounds, not prevalence estimates. The retrieved reviews are relevance-selected examples, not a representative sample.

Is it worth the money?
31 reviews about this · analyzed Oct 2026.
Value looks reasonable rather than guaranteed, with some guests saying an upgrade is worth paying for and others calling the stay overpriced. Whether it feels worthwhile may depend on the room or package you book; compare what is included before paying extra.
Paying a little extra for the club rooms is absolutely worth the money
Overpriced
