super friendly and accommodating staff. lovely location with views of the river. lots of bars/restaurants close by. comfortable walk into main part of Kanchanaburi (although would not recommend that on 40degree day! easy access to “taxi” for that) We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Barb Australia

Very friendly and helpful staff. The thai food on dinner menu was amazing... best tom yum soup I had in Thailand. Good location, by river with a.quick tuk tuk ride or walk to most sites

Paul Australia

Great location, nice clean pool and friendly staff. the room was very large and clean. Check in was a breeze and the staff were very helpful in organizing transport etc.

Andrew Australia

The staff and the people who we interacted with a Pong phen were great. The location was fantastic and the meals were plentiful.

Darren Australia

Perfect stay all round. The restaurant had a very extensive menu of all kinds of very tasty meals from Thai to European for very reasonable prices, all dishes were available. The breakfast included in the room rate has many choices as well. All staff were very friendly and efficient. The swimming pool was clean. Aircon in the Standard room in the Main Building was very effective.

John United Kingdom

Good location and good restaurant on site. Bungalow was clean and tidy.

Philip New Zealand

The staff here is very attentive and friendly. My aircon unit started leaking and I was moved immediately. The location is excellent-at the end of a quiet lane but a couple of minutes walk to the tourist street. Make sure you check out the river views, very peaceful. The breakfasts are also very good with plenty of fresh fruit.
