Felix River Kwai Resort

Very large hotel with huge landscaped,beautiful grounds boardering the River Kwai. Close to the famous bridge but should be noted that this hotel is on the opposite side of the River to the town of Kanchanaburi. Whilst this is ok in the daytime (you can walk over the railway bridge) at night a taxi would be required to go out into the town (around £5 each way) because the railway bridge is too dangerous to walk over in the dark. The hotel was pretty much deserted whilst we were there- I believe most of their business is made up of weddings and corporate events. This made the atmosphere a little soulless. However, saying all that, the 4 nights that my husband and I stayed here were pretty idyllic. If you can stretch to it try for a river suite - the views are to die for! Breakfast was fine, usual Thai hot dishes, salad,fruit, cereals etc Didn’t try the restaurant - We much prefer to go to local places over the River ( but as mentioned before the Taxi there and back was a pain) The drinks in the bar were so expensive so after 1 round we didn’t drink there again. However the mini bar drinks were pretty reasonable. The lagoon pool was lovely but sauna and gym pretty non existent. Pool towels were available free We did enjoy our time here but there are hotels on the other side of the river that we would try next time as we did feel a little isolated from the town.

Old room and lots of mosquitoes.

No hot water in room and very low water pressure in shower. So better to avoid to take a shower in that hotel.

Excellent hotel. Lovely riverside restaurant with views of The Bridge. Nice swimming pool area. Good breakfast. Busy Sunday morning as large conference party.

Our room was lovely. It is really hard to get across the rover without walking all the way around, I think they need a shuttle boat to make it easier. The lady at the little café was extremely rude. Nice pool and facilities

Our stay was excellent. The location is fabulous, rooms were very spacious and great view of the gardens and the river. The staff were very welcoming and helpful.

A really nice place to stay. Only issue was rooms were a little bit noisy from other rooms, otherwise I couldn't fault it.

They need to work on improvement of check in process. I had to wait till 3 for check in

The pool was beautiful, clean and spacious. The extensive gardens were lovely with many sitting areas along the river. The breakfast buffet had something for everyone with omelette station, curries, etc. Situated beside an impressive temple and a short walk over the historic bridge to many choices of food and shopping. We loved this place and the friendly staff and are already planning a return visit. Peace and tranquility away from Bangkok.

Hotel is indeed a resort style with nice sized and appointed rooms plus spacious gardens. plenty of lounge areas in the main building. Bathroom was nice and spacious. Breakfast was ample with Asian dishes the main fare. The only gripe was the WiFi didn’t works for us. No matter how much we tried to log on it just wouldn’t. Internet access was gained in the main building. Overall a good place to stay
