We had a lovely time at the hotel. Very friendly service, the possibility of having laundry washed within a few hours (drop it off in the morning, pick it up late in the afternoon) that was great.Pool with little shade in the afternoon. But it didn't bother us.Room (we had a Japanese one) had a bit of a stale smell, but was very clean. Lots of storage space. Location good for the bridge and museum. Nearby tuktuk drivers, opposite open taxis. Also used Grab to get to the night market etc.

We really liked this hotel. It was clean, friendly and welcoming. The all female staff were responsive if we needed anything, in fact were at our door in minutes to help. They were always cleaning and polishing and even take care of the swimming pool which was great for doing laps.Good location very near the bridge, about 200m which was nice to walk to and take some nighttime photos all alone.Small uncovered parking in front of the hotel.

First, location location location. Kwai river bridge and 7-11 just around the corner. It’s in a rather quiet block and this building itself looks like a neat and pretty city hall building. Love that ;)Then the people. The staff is super nice and sincere. There is not any no or hesitation of no when you ask for questions or requests.And cleanliness. No dust anyplace.Great hotel and thank you again to the staff.Last but not the least, 老板是华人,欢迎中国旅客入住

Looking for accommodation in the low thousands. For our family of 3 parents and children, we booked accommodation here through Agoda for a price of over a thousand and four thousand.This room has 3 Japanese beds, which are futon-like mattresses placed on a raised floor. The mattress is quite thin. It's not soft, but it's also not hard because I normally wake up with a hard mattress and feel pain, but this isn't painful. (But if anyone likes to sleep on a soft mattress, another room is better recommended.) The air conditioner is very cool. I like that the bathroom has a bathtub (for this room). This room is on the 5th floor, but there is a convenient elevator here. There is a 7/11 nearby as well as various restaurants. It's not far enough to walk.The downside is that there will be some music from nearby restaurants that can be heard. It's not too loud, but it can be heard. The walls of the room are thin. When other rooms move chairs, it can be clearly heard. The sound of the door closing and opening from another room was clearly heard. and little parking
