Jetsetter "Part of Bangkok’s charm is the fact that it overwhelms. But along the Chao Phraya River, life decelerates. Tap into that spirit at the 408-room Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa,..." Full review

Stroll the grounds, which are full of open-air corridors (lit by torches in the evening) and covered bridges beneath canopies of flowers.
Lonely Planet "Located south of the city on the banks of Mae Nam Chao Phraya, ‘resort’ is in this case at least an accurate moniker for this expansive, relax-oriented hotel."
DK Eyewitness "A true resort in more than name, with great tropical gardens perfect for relaxing after a day spent sightseeing."
Star Service "Downriver from the upscale Shangri-La and Peninsula hotels, this hearty hotel attracts business and leisure travelers with its comprehensive facilities, resortlike atmosphere and great rates." Full review

The hotel has a pleasant social resort hum to it, nicely suited for families; the Millennium Hilton just up the river might appeal more to the hip crowd, but anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of crossing the river will look to Silom or Sukhumvit roads.
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"A luxury resort perched along the river outside central Bangkok, and a free, 20-minute ferry ride from the capital's bustling downtown." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Anantara Riverside’s immense grounds of tropical gardens make it feel a bit like a resort escape, even though it’s a hotel in the middle of one of the world’s most nonstop cities." Full review
Fodor's "This is more a resort than a hotel, with many restaurants and a small mall connected." Full review

There are a wide range of room types, but standard fare has hardwood floors, Thai alphabet designs on the walls, and epic views of the river (if you ask for this).
The Telegraph8.0

Frommer's "This is one of the area's best-known, smaller-size hotels providing upscale accommodations." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This small, boutique hotel on Khao San Road houses only 76 rooms in two styles, standard and deluxe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Right in the middle of Bangkok’s famous Khao San Road and originally a backpackers’ haven, this hotel is rapidly becoming upscale but still retains its youthful and vibrant feel."
Rough Guide "The most stylish and expensive hotel on Khao San and right in the thick of the action."

Specify an upper-floor location away from Khao San to ensure a quieter night’s sleep.
Time Out "Buddy Lodge's red brick façade hides modern rooms with wooden floors, writing desks, old-fashioned lamps and white timber walls." Full review
Fodor's "This boutique hotel has contributed greatly to the trendiness of Khao San Road." Full review
Oyster Mid-Range
"The 76-room Buddy Lodge Hotel is a solid mid-range property smack dab on Bangkok's Khao San Road." Full review
Lonely Planet "This gigantic complex, which includes a pool, fitness room and, ahem, a branch of McDonald’s, is – as far as we’re aware – the most expensive place to stay on Th Khao San." Full review
