Location ok, Service 🤷‍♂️, rooms for price are ok. sadly the upstairs terrace is completely trashed, nice view neverthelessEdit: change from 3 star to 2 star. Your soapy shower water infiltrates the river Kwai, as the drainage is merely a whole in the floor (see photo), not so good for marine life.

The photos on the site do not correspond to the real state of the structure in a clear state of decay and practically no maintenance carried out... dirty... repairs made with tea towels... the terrace is in a total state of abandonment... the location it can be convenient because it is relatively close to the station and the night market...

Been many times before, located right around the corner from the war cemetery and museum.Rooms are clean and beds are very comfortable, however they are really starting to show a lot of wear and tear😔 The bathrooms smell really really bad after people on the raft start flushing! We bought some plastic cups to cover the drains but didn’t help much. There is only one older lady doing the cleaning, who is very nice and helpful but she is only there until 12 in the day. The windows were so dirty we could hardly see the view, so I got some rags and cleaned them and also the refrigerator. There is a young man that will take your money, 700bt, and will help bring your bags down the steep stairs, but he seems to be very unhappy and a small boy that sleeps on a couch in the “ lobby” that will at least put the Wifi code in your phone for you as it isn’t posted anywhere. Very small bathroom but is efficient. Nice deck in the back to watch the party boats go by in the evening.Great restaurant next door owned by a friendly Dutch guy. We ate there 3 times which is a lot for us.I hope we can come back again to some improvements because the location is so great but unfortunately won’t come back until it seems someone starts to care about the place. A real shame.

You may be confused by the simple entrance, but the interior of the room is well worth the price. The shower has plenty of hot water, and shampoo and body soap are provided. The air conditioner in the room works well. However, the light in the room did not turn on. The toilets and entrance were lit so it didn't bother me too much, and it might have been nice to see the surface of the River Kwai at night.I was dissatisfied with the lack of towels and the only thin comforter, but I think this is also appropriate for the price.I came by Grab motorbike from Kanchanaburi bus terminal.Grab is available near the bus terminal, but not when departing from here. Let's walk to the station.There will be no problem with public safety in the city. There is a thriving market near the station and a 7-Eleven. Even if you don't go to the station, you can walk a few minutes from the area around the inn in the direction of the River Kwai Bridge and you'll find a corner of what looks like a shopping street.I think I was the only one who took the first train at 6am, but the walk to the station before dawn was scary because there were so many dogs.

AVOID - unless seeking adventure and a nice view of the river Kwai Bridge. Chose it for good feedback and location. Actual experience was of very small bedroom, no topsheet only a blanket! Small dirty toilet with a broken shower. Flaky AC. Disinterested staff - not true, as very interested in his phone - shown to room by a small child. Walked out and found somewhere else.
