Welcome to the River Kwai Hotel - Warmest hospitality, great service, best rates. This would best describe the hotel, one of the most popular hotels in Kanchanaburi. Home of the world famous "River Kwai Bridge".
The River Kwai Hotel is located in the heart of Kanchanaburi, (CBD) and only 129 km from Bangkok. So you can easily travel . Because our resort is just minutes from the Kanchanaburi Bus Terminal 1 km.
For the backpackers, started from Bangkok : first get to the Southern bus terminal of Bangkok (Sai-Thai). Take a tour bus to Kanchanaburi, at the bus terminal in Kanchanaburi you can take a taxi (van) or walk to the hotel
Or if you want travel by train. Our resort is located away from Kanchanaburi Railway Station 1 km. as well.
About the hotel: There are not too many hotels in the city area. So, this hotel can be say the best hotel in the city. Hotel is clean, but old. Look like going back to years of James Bond s movie.
Motor bike rental is easy, but car rental is disappointed in Kanachanburi. Perhaps poor business at there. There is only 1 agent, Good Time Travel to handle car rental.
About the reservation service: Perfect. No doubt at all
About the hotel: Ok for the price but would not recomend for any more than 1 night. Staff not friendly at all. We were booked for honeymoon in a non-smoking room and they gave us a room with 2 single beds. When we asked to change rooms to a double they put us in a smoking room that a heavy smoker had been in. Reasonably clean for 1 night (apart from the cigarette smell) but would not do a long stay.
About the reservation service: Sawadee.com is a pleasure to book through.
About the hotel: For a 3 star the hotel was great. We really liked the location as we were able to walk to a lot of places during the day and then just got on the back of a bike to visit places farther away, which was great fun! If we were to go back we would stay there again. On the advice of some friends we did request a quiet room, although we could still hear the base of the music which wasn t too bad for us as we stayed out mostly, it did finish at a reasonable time. The service provided by guest relations and reception was very helpful and informative.
About the reservation service: Had no problems - very straight forward
About the hotel: This is about my fourth stay at the hotel in three years. I cannot fault the place. Perfect location, just 1Km from the bus terminal in one direction, and the railway station and War Cemetery in the other. Was rather disappointed with the Thai breakfast this time around, although there is still the best breakfast choice I have ever seen at any Thai hotel. Staff have limited English - the hotel seems to be mainly for wealthier Thai people to stay at. Your other options are resorts up along the Kwai river, which you will need to book through tour agents in order to get there unless you are driving yourself. But I love the place - I do not go to Thailand to mix with Westerners - I do that back here in Aussie all the time. If you want to tour the Tiger Temple and Hellfire Pass etc, hire a songtiew (two bench car) at the bus station. You should pay B700 for a half day, and twice this for a full day. You go where YOU want to go, not where the tour operator wants to take you! (I hired a half day to the Tiger Temple for the above price).I rate the hotel service as excellent, but then, I speak a few words of Thai, which helps.
About the reservation service: Never a problem, I ALWAYS use them!
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.
