It used to be a very good hotel. But now if I were to improve, it would probably be better than this one. The room is old, the door is rotten, the ceiling is falling off, the air conditioner is not very cool. But the water in the bathroom is strong. The wall welcomes both the valet and the counter staff well. The breakfast was normal. Just the room is really very old.

Old hotel 🏨The best thing is that the bed and pillows are very comfortable. There is very strong warm water that you can wash your hair with. 👩‍🦰Cool air conditioning. And be amazed with the delicious breakfast 🍳 Sitting and eating next to the crystal clear swimming pool... suitable for people who don't like to sleep in hostels like us. Like the hotel is a hotel There is a connecting room as well 👻free wifi, very fast...old but wide and clean, acceptable for the price 👍🏼

Rooms are good. But looks the furniture a bit old and partially with scratches and all. But for the value it's worth to stay if you don't find any other option

We would like to share our experience regarding the River Kwai Hotel in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, which does not deserve the 3 stars it has. …
