My husband and I stayed at this hotel and had a good experience. We never heard any noise because we asked for a room in the back, not facing the street. Good breakfast buffet, nice pool and staff very friendly.Room was clean and very spacious! Good location and close to the main attractions. We were travelling by car so it... More

Staff are very good and the breakfast is pretty good. Pool good. Had to relocate from room affected by music from The House. New room O.K. For the proce it is good enough. Most of the bar and restaurant action has moved to River Kwai Bridge Road which is a 20 minute walk. Tuk tuks are not often around the... More

We stayed for two nights. We had a newly renovated room and I was pleased with it. Clean, enough space for two of us, and nicely decorated. Staff at the front desk spoke good English and were helpful. Breakfast was very good with many choices. Pool was nice. Its only a 10 minute walk from the bus station. It's a... More

Boom! Boom! Boom! till 2am every night of the week. A disco located at the front of the hotel and karaoke at the back echo throughout this concrete sound box. Apart from the noise, we had to move rooms three times in one night due to various other disturbances and annoyances, one of which included being placed on a floor... More

The River Kwai Hotel is about a 10 to 15 minute walk to/from the bus station. This was the reason we selected it as we took a bus to Kanchanaburi from Bangkok to go and enjoy the Erawan Water Falls. The River Kwai Hotel is in a good location with 7-Eleven across the street, and a restaurant right next store.... More

If I could add an audio file to this review all you hear is the repetitive bass of the awful club underneath the hotel. As long as the club exists this will always be a crap hotel. Find anywhere else.

Stayed for a night whilst tour Kanchannaburi. Good selling point as free wifi in all rooms. Good location and lots of road-side store in the evening selling good food. Breakfast was average. Front desk staff very helpful and friendly.

This is an older hotel located on the main road running through Kanchanaburi. It is called River Kwai Hotel but you either need transportation of good walking shoes to get to the river. Service was good but nothing special. The hotel is worn and in need of a serious facelift but the rate was commensurate with the quality. The room... More

Stayed at this resort for 2 nights and great as a "chill out" hotel, our room overlooked the river so you could sit out on the small balcony and see what was happening along the river, the amount of cocks crowing early in the morning could be a problem but as we live in a city it was great to...

Arguably, the hotel is a little shabby - but at the price that can be obtained by booking in advance or through various agents/websites, represents good value. It's a busy hotel. The restaurants do well - the new outdoor "House" looks good - and so does the disco - attracting lots of locals. Don't expect a quiet "resort"! The breakfast... More
