It doesn't have car parking there. Need to stop a different place and walk around 300 meters.

The location is in the center

Forget about the breakfast here, it's inedible. The rooms are just passable after a steep ascent up a tight staircase. All can be forgiven though because the location and the friendly staff made the stay a breeze.

The location makes this place. If you're looking for a rustic oasis in an urban jungle area of Chanthaburi, only minutes walk to the beautiful old town, this is it! The view is 5 star at sunset looking out over the river with the rumble of the Chanthaburi traffic hurtling past. As a travel Youtuber I look for accomodation that is unusual and visually interesting - and Chanmel Riverside ticked those boxes for me. Aim to arrive at 4pm for some spectacular gold hour sunset!

The bathroom and room set up was very strange and unpractical

Great location, nice patio to unwind in front of the river

The location right next to a busy road.

The Service was so nice and friendly. They helped us with everything we needed. Breakfast was rich and delicious. And also the Ambiente in the Front of the River was lovely.

Hard to find, very small entrance next to the bridge over the river. I was not aware that there is no elevator. I have a mobility issue with my knees, going up 4 flights of very steep stairs to the room was a huge effort.

Good hotel, great staff. Motorcycle parking under the bridge.

The American breakfast did not please us, but the rice option was better.

The location is great for the gem district and the historic area by the river. The room was bigger than we expected and comfortable with good wifi. Above all Mook, who worked on reception, was extremely helpful, suggesting where we might visit (mangroves, beaches) and even more importantly arranging our onward journey to Koh Chang. Her colleague took us to the bus stop to catch the minivan - extremely helpful. There was a barbecue most nights which was very enjoyable too. Motorbike hire was reasonable and the motorbikes in good condition

It is a budget option, u do get what you pay for. I'd pay "five bucks" more somewhere else.

Location next to the main shopping area of Bangkok and a stone throw from the train to airport Cafes, restaurants next to it. Room clean and for the money ok.

Some road noise from bridge but sound proofing was good from windows.

Under new ownership, room was clean and seemed recently refurbished. Friendly helpful owners.

Very noisy from outside so bring your ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Breakfast wasn't the best.

Nice little hotel, really friendly and helpful staff. Great air con and comfy beds. Good location as is pretty near to the centre.

Moo the receptionist was extremely helpful and friendly.

Major downside for us was the size of the room. It really was like playing human Tetris in room 301. Too small for 2 people, 2 backpacks and 2 day packs. Nowhere to put or hang anything. Bags ended up blocking the door. Very noisy ( even with ear plugs)as close to bridge and traffic. Sink drained onto bathroom floor. Bathroom unhygienic with pebble feature almost impossible to clean regularly.

Just the loveliest staff - very kind, friendly & hard working. Breakfast included. Good location by river in an interesting town. Nice communal areas. Clean room. Nice bedding. Good air con. Fridge and kettle.

Bad location and no parking

It is a fine place for the price and I think, after looking at more expensive places further away from this immediate area, I would choose it for atmosphere, convenience and the views of the river

The location is fabulous. It is right on the river, 2 minutes work from the heart of the gem market area. I stayed on the top floor and looked across the river. A short walk up river , on my side , led me to the next bridge. I crossed from there and came back along the river to the large Catholic Church. I am an early morning walker for exercise and the views back across the river to the old buildings and their totally gorgeous refelctions in the river was wonderful. The hotel itself has wonderful staff and the owners were experienced gem dealers themselves. On the Saturday I was there the gem market was in full BUZZ with dealers from all over coming to buy and sell mainly but also to get rougher stones cut, polished etc. In the afternoon some dealers came to the hotel garden on the river to relax, drinks some beers and of course continue to haggle !! I joined them, including the owner of the hotel, to find out a little more ( from zero understanding ) of how the market worked. It was such a good experience in this lovely location. I booked a GRAB taxi one day for a four hour trip outside town which was fabulous also. BUT the hotel themselves have cars with drivers if you want to - I just forgot and had already booked the day trip. I am sure worth asking them . I even went down to the estuary where the river meets the sea and had a very reasonable and tasty seafood meal So I recommend the town and the hotel.

But the rooms are too small and the stairs too difficult for the price. A small ensuite bathroom has been inserted into what was once a decent sized bedroom leaving hardly enough room for the double bed squashed up against the wall. The room might be fine for a single person.

The best thing about this property is the incredible receptionist Mook. Cheerful and always enthusiastic and helpful. I hope her employers appreciate what an asset she is. The other staff a very good too. Carried our luggage up to our room on the 4th floor up the steep stairs and down again. Having the balcony is great. The location is also good, but

Maybe a luggage rack or something in the room to put suitcases on.

Mook at reception was beyond helpful and cheerful. The balcony overlooking the river was lovely, and the hotel was super close to the gem market. I really can’t say enough about how fantastic everyone working there was. Everything worked- fast wifi, strong AC, hot shower.

The hotel manager Mook is just awesome. She was super helpful to organise a motorbike, bus pick up to Trat, tips for the city walk and was just super nice. Rooms were clean, shower warm and breakfast yummy. Terrace is very cosy with river view, perfect for a beer before bed time. Located right in the city center, it was perfect for a one day stay. If I get through Chanthaburi again, I'll stay there for sure!

It was nothing I didn't like.

Superb hotel right in the centre of town and right by the river. Very friendly and helpful staff who spoke very good English. I had a very cute whitewashed room where they had put some thoughts into creating the bathroom. Fridge and a kettle in the room. All toiletries supplied. Soft mattress and a duvet. Superb WiFi. American breakfast was included in the price. But the best of it all was the lovely outdoor sitting area right by the river, especially in the late afternoon lights and at night. Beers and other cold drinks for sale. The restaurant had excellent Thai food. The location is excellent. The vans to Trat are crossing the bridge next to the hotel, and the staff called the bus station to book for me. The van picked me up at the bridge. I suppose you can also jump off incoming vans there. I wish I could have stayed an extra day.
