Reviews of New Phiman Riverview Guesthouse 1 stars

Incredible little place by the river. Big old fashioned dorm with futon beds and mosquito nets. Very relaxing by the river. Not crowded with party people. Perfect place for a solo traveler to get away from the heat and the noise.

The hostel was very much a place where it feels like you live outdoors but also indoors at the same time. The beds had mosquito nets to keep the bastards out and the bed was comfortable enough.

The beds has no sheets or covers. The owner told me they wash the mattresses but he isn't doing a good job or doing it at all considering I came away from there with Scabies (itching). The shower is very small making it feel unpractical to clean yourself and the place comes with no handsoap for after using the toilet

Great location and friendly man but hard to find without the internet.

Only one issue for me. The smell is very bad. It is beyond the guesthouse control. The garbage, sewage, decomposing plastics, dead animals etc makes for a very strong and permeating smell.

It was so cute and perfect for what we needed at the time. Love the alley way to get there, and the birds and the little lizards, and the old hardwood and the nice host, such a nice guy i could just tell from how he kept saying "its so hot!" and being so kind.

Just wish i stayed longer. Also saw some komodo dragons there, oh woops, thats actually for the part i love about it.

Excellent location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful views of the river and bridge.

Fairly basic but at that price you can’t complain. Gets quite hot during the day.

This is authentic experience by the river in a local neighborhood. Owner is very nice and easy. One night there was few few mosquitos, the other night a lot of mosquitos. Our 3 kids absolutely loved it there

This is not luxurious place but perfect for kids to have fun and feel at home. Thank you

There was no breakfast. There was no soap – not even the little tablets. The man who runs the place forgot to leave a sheet for my bed and I had to ask and I was told they were hanging on the line and I could get them myself. I am sorry, but there was nothing I liked about this place.

Everything could’ve been better. Basic things like soap and water should not even be a question. The room was riddled with mosquitoes and the mosquito net was disgusting

I've been to Phiman a few times. There's a lot of charm to it, and always interesting people to meet. However... its getting dirtier and noisier each time. Honestly I barely slept last time I was there, it was so bad... and yeah the room was super smelly and the bathrooms dirty. It's not super cheap so I have to say its bad value for money.

dirty noisy, bad value for money.

My room was right by the river and there's kitchen facility. Room is spacious enough!

Not well maintained, smells, many narrow alleyways to get there, a lot of bugs come into the room by the river even if there's a small gap in the window or anywhere in the bamboo hut. Definitely felt that the price is a bit more than what's offered. Pillows were like huge rocks!

Excellent riverside view, cute environment in proximity with nature. Hotel manager was very friendly and helpful.

The location is really close to khan san street and the central area

A lot of mosquitoes! They have mosquito nets, but the moment you get out or accidentally touch the net out of sleep you get bitten. because of the proximity to the lake. Bangkok in general doesn’t have mosquitos. Also pretty difficult to find the place. It is located in the middle of a maze of alleys. I had to use google maps every time I came back to the hostel.

Cheapest possible within walking distance of main temples and Kaosan road. Disorganised but very nice host. Make sure you know if you've paid and your dates because he'll tell you every night it's your last night.

Dirty, unmaintained, access via a labyrinth of alleyways (avoid doing it first time at night) + there's a Komodo dragon lizard + 10 million mosquitos who also live there in the water/hostel

Nothing, as they don’t exist

I didn't like the fact that they don't exist and I was left on the streets in the middle of the night having nowhere to go in a city i had just landed on and didn't know anybody or anything. They kept my money and booking.com isn't doing anything about it.

Cozy!!!

Everything was good!
