Phiman Riverview Guest House

This place is just great!

If you are looking for a nice view and good atmosphere this is definitely the place to go, it’s a hidden gem within a huge city, you have to walk through small roads to get there but when you are there it’s quiet and great!

The owner Ben is just an amazing human being ???? he gonna make your day better with his great humour.

The rooms are great, for the price it’s just what you expect, nothing more or less.

Probably the best place to stay in Bangkok for backpackers there looking for a place to hangout in and go back to after a hectic day in the city ????

The location is good, walking distance to the party street and food street, and about 5 min away for the ferry transport, the bus to the airport 901 is 5 min walk away as well.

Good and comfortable place????

Beds were like sleeping on bricks, the covers weren't clean. The whole place is pretty run down, with entrance to the property being in a very run down back street. The toilets and showers were pretty dirty and staff members uninterested and unhelpful. However, there is a chilled out area with a nice view of the river and the hostel's location is pretty good - 10 min ride to main tourist attractions.

Never choose this place for your trip to Bangkok. The way to this guest house is too small to be included on the map and in reality only one person can fit the width of it. If you come at midnight, you might be bite by neighbors' dogs cuz the way is very narrow that the only choice is walking while dogs are released.
The price might be lower than other hostels or guest houses, but I still feel I paid more that it really worth.
There are many trees in the garden so there are a lot of mosquitoes. Two bathrooms are shared by all guests and there is no air conditioner in my room.

It meets all the needs of a budget traveler or backpacker. Common area sink, cold water shower :(, bidet wand, private or multi bed rooms. Great staff, out of the way and on the river. The lounge area is peaceful. The WiFi is strong in the rooms and lounge area. They also can do laundry and provide meals.

Stayed there for five nights. Absolutely recommend it! On my arrival after 17 hours flight a very friendly man welcomed me, Ben. He´s very helpful and good fun. The dorms are great value. My first night I stayed in the sharing one. Quite comfy, mosquito net works well, as well as the ventilators on top of you. My second night I shared with my friend a private room. Nice too. Views to the river. Sunrise and sunset are stunning. It doesn´t feel like paradise, this is PARADISE! He did a very tasty barbecue and invited everyone there. Thank you very much Ben for your kidness :-)

Cheap, decently clean and with ac. Staff spoke very little English, didn't understand us when we requested some sheets as we were missing a few. Beds were uncomfortable but not the worst we had. Good on a budget, but if you have a bit more to spend I recommend you do so.

I am really happy and comfortable here. There are mosquito coils for the insects, that only bother me around sunset. There is a kitchen, plenty of places to relax, and the best possible river view. But there can be the smell of old water sometimes.
