Nothing To Riverview Review
(Rather embarrassingly, I am the customer in this story. My boyfriend and I are traveling in South East Asia and are staying one night in Bangkok before flying to Hong Kong. Unfortunately, we can’t remember the exact name of the hotel we’ve booked and can’t find anywhere in the airport to get Wi-Fi or access the Internet and look it up, so I go to the tourist information office.)
Me: “Excuse me, my boyfriend and I are booked into a hotel but we can’t quite remember the name. It’s the ‘Something’ Riverview, but I’m not sure exactly.”
Lady: *behind the desk* “Okay, do you know which street it’s on?”
Me: “No.”
Lady: “Do you know where in the city it is?”
Me: “Not exactly.”
Lady: “Do you know how many stars it has?”
Me: *turning beet red by this point* “Sorry, no.”
Lady: “Ma’am, I apologise, but do you know anything? There are hundreds of hotels in Bangkok!”
(Fortunately, another lady in the office looked up a list of names that roughly matched Riverview and I recognised one straight away. After that, they booked us a taxi to take us there!)
