Accommodation with a view of the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi Province, where I have stayed 3 times. Personally, I like it, it's quiet, the description is good, the swimming pool is beautiful. The hotel has been open for quite some time but is classic. I'm sorry about the loss of the elevator. It's not yet finished, but it's being built. I'm happy about it. Breakfast is so-so, but overall the accommodation is worth the price. You'll definitely get beautiful photos!

A small hotel with 4 floors. I live on the 3rd floor. The elevator is still being installed. All rooms face the river. The scenery is very beautiful. The shower water pressure and hot and cold temperature are very good, but there are many shortcomings. Check-in for breakfast Please order what you need in advance, but the portions are small. The soundproofing of the room is very poor. The sound of traffic coming from the door and the guests in the neighboring room talking and reveling will wake you up. The lighting is too dark, and the bed chandelier cannot let in any light at all. If you stay on weekdays, There aren’t many people, so you might consider it!

Stayed here for 2 nights and slept well. The bed is a bit hard, but the pillows are good. The room is comfortable, the view is beautiful, and you can really relax. Saturday breakfast is made to order. But there will be bread. Tea and coffee buffet As for Sunday morning, it's a buffet style where everything is prepared by yourself. Overall it's good.

Hotel with a lot of potential but unfortunately spoiled by several things.The +: decent room with a very nice viewGreat location 5 minutes from the centerThey are installing an elevatorThe -: catastrophic breakfast: very poorPoor service: the poor chambermaids are on all fronts/overwhelmed. Cleaning done at 5 a.m.: breakfast made according to the means of the hotel which gave themNo manager on site, no one to talk toSwimming pool with potential but poorly maintained / tiles broken for years. Shower not working. Broken parquet.Lobby does not exist.You have the impression of arriving in a quality ibis hotel or motel.It's a shame because this hotel with a little money could be really interesting

The hotel has a beautiful view behind. The bed is hard. I would like to change the bed. It would be great. In the rainy season and in the morning there is fog. The room has a bathtub on the 4th floor. You have to walk because there is no elevator. The hotel is building an elevator. Nice to be able to use it in October. The bathroom is quite narrow. The breakfast was very good, including bacon.

So apart from the view and the rooms we will say ok the rest is a disaster. A very very poor breakfast like cold egg and nothing. Yogurt bread. We are far from being in Thailand. Broken swimming pool. …
