About the hotel:
This is a three star hotel so one shouldn t expect more. On the plus side location is good especially if you don t have your own transport, the room was comfortable with lovely large feather pillows, swimming pool big with pleasant sun deck and there is a small fitness room. On the minus side, breakfast is adequate though not inspiring, although the coffee is surprisingly good but they insist on serving sweetened milk. If you have a room facing the front don t even think about trying to sleep until the disco finishes at 2:00am. When checking in ask for a quiet room at the back. Check in staff were helpful and spoke good English. Internet available at 80 baht per hour.
About the reservation service:
Booking service was fine although would be easier if they accepted Thai bank debit cards on the internet booking service.

About the hotel:
The breakfast was amazing. I paid for a week of breakfast on my credit card so it felt like I was getting food for free. The rooms were nice equipped with TV, chairs, and beds. The beds were comfy. My boyfriend and I had two single beds but the bed had wheels on them so we could push them together. The front desk helped me find the bus number I needed. The hotel is not far from the bus station which was really helpful to me as we did not have too much money for taxis. We took the bus every time we went somewhere! The decor is beautiful in the breakfast/dinning room. I love how they include plant life on the outside windows where you eat. Their sweet and sour pork is amazing. The sauce tastes good on anything. The only thing that could be a problem for someone tall is that the bathroom ceiling isn t high but since I m average height it was fine. It was a magical adventure there. We went to Tiger Temple twice, Elephant park in Sio Yok, Erawan Waterfall, and Safari Park. We didn t need a tour guide to get around just used our wits and the bus. There was of course a language barrier but that is to be expected going into a different country.

About the hotel:
As far as anchanaburi is concerned, this is probably one of the better hotels in town, but that is not saying much! The staff on the front desk and bell-hops are VERY UNFRIENDLY and we seemed to be an annoyance more than a paying customer. The breakfast was horrid; a huge selection, but everything inedible. It is like the same food was recycled from the prior week. The restaurant staff were also rude and unhelpful. The lady at the pool was lovely. The security guards at the front car park were great. All other staff need a real wake-up call!! The room was in need of a fix. Light fittings broken and some lights not working. The bathroom had bad water pressure and was not entirely clean. I would not want to stay there again.
About the reservation service:
Booking service was perfect. The hotel sucked!

About the hotel:
We are a family of four (our children are two boys aged 6 and 4). We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel despite bad press in our travel guide. The room was decent (for the price paid), the pool was great and the location reasonably near tourist locations around Kanchanaburi (city). However, the food was poor - we would not eat there again.
About the reservation service:
Fine.

About the hotel:
Overall the hotel was good although it could do with an update. The pool was really nice, a good size and the breakfast more than suffient. The hotel is away from the main restaurants but they have reasonably priced food and entertainment. Bikes can also be hired to allow you to visit the sights and it is close to the bus station and tourist information. Would use again.
About the reservation service:
Easy booking service and kept up to date by email which was good.
