• Ernst -Jürgen (9/5): -
• paul (10/5): - everything stayed there years ago and it was even better than before . nothing .
• FinalBiker (9/5): -
• anais (9/5): Dépaysant - La taille de la chambre Manque de chaîne en français et le petit déjeuner est pauvre. Très peu de choix. Du coup, on se retrouve à manger tout le temps la même chose
• karen (10/5): Really lovely and well maintained - Beautiful little guest house centrally located. Huge pool and nice clean rooms The poolside rooms are in the sun most of the day, best to book a bungalow

• Mickael (10/5): hôtel le long de la rivière, restaurant très bon, superbe piscine, je recommande - Kanchanaburi est pour nous une très belle découverte. L'hotel répond à toutes nos attentes, personnel au petit soin et disponible, de nombreux services à proximité sèven eleven, restaurants, bars, laverie. L'hôtel propose également lui même un service de laverie, de massages, et le restaurant bar de l'hôtel a un très bon rapport qualité prix avec des produits aussi bien européens et Thaïlande. Je peux que recommander cet hôtel. Rien

• sylvie (9/5): Très bonne adresse à retenir - Chambres grandes, très bien équipées et très propres. Le personnel est jeune et charmant. L'hôtel est situé à 10 minutes en voiture de l'aéroport. Une navette payante est disponible. Nous avons diné 2 fois au restaurant et c'était bon. Le petit-déjeuner est très bien avec une véritable machine à café. Un marché de nuit est situé près de l'hôtel et il y a des commerces près d'une station service à coté de l'hôtel. Nous avons pris un GRAAB pour aller dans Bangkok (environ 500 Bhts le trajet). Nous n'avons pas eu le temps d'utiliser la piscine. Je reviendrais à mon prochain séjour à Bangkok.
• slacklinegirl (3/5): - The place was clean, room spacious and the pool was nice when it wasn't green. The surroundings are beautiful, by the river with lovely greenery. Unfortunately we didn't have a good stay. There were PLENTY cockroaches outside and also inside our room. I have a phobia and for me it was very important. Even though we booked for 2 adults and 2 children, the staff only offered us 3 breakfast saying that we only paid for 3 where I clearly have on booking.com we have a reservation for 4 people. They showed me their prices saying that we pay much less than they normally charge which for me was ridiculous, I paid what was said on the platform expecting a full service. We just didn't feel welcomed. On the top of that they keep few birds in cages that they never let out of there (i confirmed with one of the staff). The pool turned green one day but they fixed it the day after.

• Greg (8/5): -
• Geoffrey (7/5): -
• Carole (9/5): - La cadre est tout simplement exceptionnel. Au calme avec vue sur la rivière, des fleurs incroyables. Les chambres triples sont très spacieuses et la literie est de bonne qualité. Super petit déj et personnel vraiment sympathique. Et petit point bonus pour cette jolie piscine.
• david (10/5): - Excellent all round , accommodation, location and facilities Staff are all friendly and helpful

• Xhenseval (10/5): -
• Florence (9/5): - Personnel très gentil , a l écoute. L emplacement nous convenait parfaitement. Le petit déjeuner était très bon . Le bruit la nuit.du personnel de nuit qui parle devant les chambres.des touristes aussi.
• Leonard (10/5): Ein angenehmer Aufenthalt :) - Saubere ruhige Unterkunft. In der Nähe ist vieles zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir waren zufrieden und kommen gerne wieder.
• Eric De Vreese (6/5): Avec le sourire en plus, ce serait vraiment top - Les petites chambres en forme de petites maisons avec terrasse, la piscine Le sourire et la gentillesse du personnel ne font visiblement pas partie de l’offre de cet hôtel. On tire la tête, on crie, voire on t’engeule. C’est vraiment dommage.
• François (8/5): - L'emplacement et la gentillesse du personnel. Possibilité de louer un scooter à l'hôtel où plusieurs loueurs à moins de 100 m. Pour les puristes : Lit dur, pas de table de chevet, donc pas de liseuse. Pas de prise électrique proche du lit. Pas d'interrupteur en tête de lit.
• edge77 (9/5): Perfect location and a nice pool - Perfect location by the river in the centre of Kanchanaburi. Many restaurants, shops and bars nearby. Nice pool and good breakfast. Will stay here if I go back to Kanchanaburi. Nothing
• Heather (9/5): - The staff were wonderful.
• Andre (10/5): - Great locations and view of the river. Staff very friendly and helpful.
• Elisabetta (7/5): - Posizione buona, bella piscina, camera abbastanza grande. Personale gentile La camera era al secondo piano, terzo per loro, nessuna ascensore. Quando si hanno bagagli ingombranti e pesanti non è molto gradevole.
• Formánek (9/5): - Room was well equiped And clean. There was a lot of space.great pool, that was also clean. Thailand Is famous with warm smiling people. Personnel was polite, helpfull, but not that Thai in my eyes. There Is Space for improvement. My overall rating Is Positive, to be clear.

La rue perpendiculaire pas pour nous! Que des bars à fille avec des vieux Pas de bons petits restos
• Philippe (8/5): - Très bel endroit, reposant, près de la rivière. A proximité du pont de la rivière kwaï Il manque juste une table de chevet.
• Florence (10/5): Super escale pour aller aux chutes d’Erawan. - L’amabilité du personnel, la vue sur la rivière Kwaï , la piscine, le calme. Le restaurant sur place très pratique. Pour l’emplacement prévoir pour moins de 100 bath, on va au pont de la rivière Kwaï ou à la gare pour se rendre après en bus aux chutes Erawan
• simon (10/5): -
• Willemijn (7/5): -
• yohann (8/5): Bon choix - Hôtel bien situé, dans une impasse au calme. Chambres spacieuses. Tarifs corrects. Lit bien ferme. Clim un peu bruyante. Personnel pas toujours agréable mais ils font de grosses journées ..
• Thomas (7/5): - Les chambres sont tout à fait correct. Le personnel est poli mais est plutôt "distant". Parking très petit. Une place de parking nous a été trouvée heureusement. Le petit déjeuner n'est pas un buffet mais un menu et donc pas possible de se servir de nouveau sans payer...
• SYLVIE (10/5): - Situation géographique, et décors de l hotel
• Stella (5/5): - Schöner Pool, schöner Innenhof und liebevoll dekoriert Bad relativ abgenutzt, nach dem Burger im eigenen Restaurant, wo es auch das Frühstück gab, Lebensmittelvergiftung. Beim Frühstück dreckige Kaffetassen und Ameise in der Milch.
• Nathalie (8/5): -
• Erwin Petrus Leonardus Carolus (8/5): -
• julian (6/5): Busy and noisy - Good pool , clean room and convenient to the main bar street We stayed in a deluxe double but it was not very deluxe and it was 2 single mattresses pushed together. There is limited parking for a very busy hotel and it was noisy at night eg woken at 330am by returning guests. Breakfast was included but was basic
• Thomas (10/5): Motorcycle friendly and great food - food location pool
• Thomas (10/5): Best guesthouse in Kanchanaburi City - pool, food, parking
• Paul (10/5): -
• Dave (9/5): - Almost everything, If possible I stay here everytime I go to Kanchanaburi.. In the room I stayed in this time you had to get out of bed to turn the light above the bed on and off. It was just a minor issue.
• Nicolasina (8/5): -
• lisa (9/5): - pool was lovely, food was good, breakfast not too bad. The bed was the best. Air con really good. Location was excellent. nothing not to like.
• Mary Pat (10/5): This is the place to stay in Kanchannaburi - Loved everything about this place. For something so inexpensive it had everything you could want. It's location was excellent with many restaurants and bars just down the street and yet it was quiet and serene. The train station was a short walk away. They had both a refrigerator and an electric kettle. If you get one of the D units it is super convenient to the pool and restaurant where they serve a delicious free breakfast. Hated to leave. The wardrobe unit they had was not very useful. Took up a lot of room just to hang a few items.
• Maciej (10/5): - Pokoje z przepięknym widokiem na rzekę, pyszne jedzenie w dobrych cenach.
• John (8/5): -
