The accommodation atmosphere is very good. Lovely receptionist Beaming But the weather is quite hot. The reception counter does not have air conditioning. Next to it, there are many cat cages. Cat slaves will probably like it. There is a cafe and restaurant as well. Overall good.

Beautiful surroundings next to The River Kwai.Big pool and big garden.There were 3 sunbeds by the pool (without mattress) and then benches on the other side.From the hotel is fifteen minutes walk to The Bridge over the river Kwai and 7-Eleven.Half hour walk to the Death Railway Museum and the Kanchanaburi war Cemetery.Great littleThai restaurant across the road (Meals n' Bites @ JP's)We stayed in building G which is the last building of 7 and little bit separated from the others and closer to the river.We stayed 3 nights.There are 3 floors in each building and we were on the second floor.The room was wery hot, the walls burning hot to the touch from inside in the afternoon.The aircon was old and not working so well.The bed was softer than anything I have ever slept in in my life.There are power outlets on both sides of the bed but no bedside tables so iPads, phones and everything else on the floor.And almost no place to put your clothes other than the table in front of the TV or on the top of the fridge.No chair in the room.The staircase up to the 2nd and 3rd floor have unusually high steps so I would recommend staying on the first floor if you have bad knees or big suitcase.We had ordered breakfast with the room but only went once.I thought it was buffet, but when we came we had to choose between some plates on a set menu.I chose Eggs Benedict on a slices of bread with ham.Please, please, please do NOT offer Eggs Benedict on your menu if you don't know how to make it.Just offer something else.Sent it back and got another not as bad as the first one but bad nevertheless.There were some 15-20 people also at the same time (08:30) and there was a buffet so I thought I would just eat from the buffet instead but almost everything was empty but I managed to grab two slices of toast and enough butter for one slice.And the view from my table outside the windows by the pool on the chair was a dead bird that clearly had been there for a few days.We decided not to use our breakfast option for the other two mornings.

I would like the Receptionist team to be more calm when communicating with guests. You are the first point of contact that customers encounter and First impression always matters, especially in the service line.Shocked by the breakfast We read a lot of reviews, both good and bad. But what we encountered was bad, I repeat, very bad! Hot dishes such as miso soup, chicken porridge and cold egg fried rice You have an electric stove and the rice is in the pot. Why don't you keep the food hot all the time? This is a very simple thing. But I would like to praise the restaurant manager for his willingness to take care of the customers.The room has a beautiful view and is not soundproof (take heart). The sliding door in the bathroom is not strong. The day we went, it rained and there was water standing in front of the door, so that was fine. It didn't matter until the next day the sun came out and there was still no staff to wipe it even though the cleaning staff was clearing the room next door. It's very slippery. You have to be careful. This point is dangerous.There are 2 parking zones: park in the large lobby area or behind the building where we stay. (If there is space)Building A will smell a lot of the cat's smell because it is attached to a cage/view of some trees/river.Building B, view of some trees and view of the breakfast room below.Building C-D-E has the clearest view of the river.Building F has a partial view of the river because the buildings are overlapping.Building G river frontAll in all, the thing that helps change our mood and make us feel better are the cute cats, especially little Salmon.

Available rooms There is a very strong bathroom smell. I informed and the staff came to check, rub, and then put out a spray to deodorize. In the end it didn't go away. Came again to have the technician come and make fresh grout for the toilet. There is no room to change. So they gave each person a free cafe coupon. But you have to leave the room for the technician to work. Really should check the room before letting it out to guests. But I'm here to travel so I don't want too much trouble.

Soft mattress, good tissue paper, ok room, good view, good central area, spacious, good atmosphere, but the room doesn't have an elevator. For the elderly, it is recommended to stay on the ground floor. If you're carrying a lot of stuff and have bags to drag around, I recommend going downstairs.

The atmosphere is very good, next to the river, peaceful, shady, private. The rooms and beds are very soft. Overall in the room is considered good. I would like to have more chains attached to the door for safety. As for breakfast, it was a bit cold. It's very good to be warm all the time.

The service of the receptionist is very poor and should be greatly improved.Today I called to reserve a room directly with the hotel. The hotel has asked for the name of the person who made the reservation. The number of rooms that will be checked-in has already been confirmed by calling again.The staff did not charge any money or deposit for this booking first. which we understand is a normal day Therefore there was no charge and it was confirmed by the staff. So I understand that the reservation is complete. (We are not stuck either. If there is a request to collect a deposit or pay for accommodation first when booking But the employee didn't have a call)When it was time to check-in, the staff informed us that the room was already full. Because there were walk-in customers coming in earlier. It didn't take long for us to give the room away. As a result, we who had reserved no more rooms available and the staff told us to try looking elsewhere (at 8:00 p.m.). Importantly, we had elderly people coming with us. I'm quite distressed in this part.Very bad. At least it's good to have a call back to report it. that the room will be released Or call back and ask to confirm again with the customer who has reserved. It will be much better than this.If you pay attention and have a service mind It probably wouldn't happen like this. It is the direct responsibility of the receptionist and indicates disorganized work. Regulations of this hotel Please help improve this part.

Special hotel. The rooms have little atmosphere (a bit minimalist Ikea) and require maintenance. I read terrible reviews and was prepared by bringing earplugs, but it was quite quiet. The garden at the restaurant is beautiful. The breakfast was a bit limited. It is difficult to understand why the hotel is built this way and why the rooms have so little atmosphere. This is a place with potential, but the rooms need to be thoroughly renovated (if the hotel wants to focus on European guests, but there may be a target group that loves the current style). The hotel is quite close to the night market (5 minutes taxi) and that market is very authentic.It's good that the hotel takes care of cats. There are also very sweet cats on the property.

Great hotel, we stayed for a few days and booked the river view room in Block ‘G’. The view was fantastic, it’s very chilled and quiet. Room was clean and the beds comfy. The pool was also a nice size and the restaurant food was tasty and reasonably priced. The coffee in the coffee shop was yummy! You can also book river activities through the hotel including jet ski and paddle boards. The breakfast was nice but it was the same every day, they could maybe switch up a couple things to create variety. They should also invest in a couple bean bags or comfy chairs as the only seats to sit looking out at the river are hard metal benches or old wooden chairs. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because there is about 50 cats locked up in a cattery, not sure they ever get let out which seems cruel. Everything else was great, staff very nice as well.

In all my travel this is by far the worst place I have ever stayed. We ended up leaving to go stay at another hotel. (We only chose to stay because it is the only pet friendly hotel in Kanchanburi)When we arrived at 2.30pm they told us the room wasn't ready and told us to go wait at the restaurant, we sat in the restaurant and were the only people in the restaurant but waited 1 hour for the food. After we finished they didnt tell us our room were ready. We went to check in and the staff were impolite and wanted us to pay an extra 2,000 baht deposit for the keycard (because we had a dog, and we already paid the 500 baht dog fee) they also said they accept only cash for this and we refused to pay. When we got to the room, it smelt of dogs and very unclean, not sanitary enough at all.The only good part is the view on the river. They had 40 cats trapped in a small cage, very unhygenic. Poor customer service.Someone should investigate this hotel. Hope to never return to this place.
