We stayed here 1 night after catching the train from Bangkok and used the hotel as a base to visit hellfire pass, the bridge on the river Kwai and the Namtok waterfalls. Beware the local taxis that are just utes with a canopy on the back- very slow and uncomfortable. Insist on an air conditioned car if travelling to the... More

The hotel isn't in a bad position, it does have a pool but we never got around to using it. What deters us from staying here in the future: 1. The included breakfast was the worst we've ever had. The omlettes smelt like someone had thrown up, possibly off milk, but this was every day. Besides some odd cereals, the... More

This is a Thai standard mid range business hotel and that is what you should expect of it. I.e. pretty worn down and quite unfresh rooms compared to western standards, but all services of a business hotel available and good wifi connection. Buffet breakfast, both continental and Asian, OK but nothing to write home about. Big plus for the hotel... More

We stayed 2 nights in March 2012 and enjoyed aour stay. The room was basic and after a few days travelling we needed some clothes laundered but could not speak Thai so had a LOT OF TROUBLE communicating. But eventually I just carried my laundry to the front desk and instantly smiles and understanding. The pool is the best feature... More

I came there to have seminar with my company colleagues. I think the hotel was rebuilt last year and included ABF was reasonable as the price around 1000-1200 baht. And the meeting room was comfortable that's the main point for us to stay there. If you want to walk around the town I recommended this hotel where's nearby bus station,... More

This hotel is very well located on the same road between both the bus and railway stations. Short motorbike taxi ride to most places. The staff are very good. We had only one issue with staff during our stay and that was on returning to the hotel one evening we needed assistance with the internet connection (needed password / login)... More

The (old)hotel is ok for one night, swimming pool is good, the food no so. Advise: ask for the (new)studio on the 5th floor, railway side the road side is noisy. Hotel is mostly visited by Thai people. More
