River Kwai Resotel Kanchanaburi

Amazing place, so quiet, clean and beautiful. Lovely staff, great food. The bed was SO big and comfy. The hottest water of any hotel EVER in Thailand! We loved it here. Not easy to find if driving and others told us that taxi's get lost too? Only saw 1 sign and GPS is a must! Also once you arrive at the entrance car park there is Nobody there? So we tried to drive in further, but finally found a worker that told us they watch you on the camera and send a motorcycle to pick you up haha, but how do you know this?? I would stay here again. When I give a review it's to help others and hopefully the resort also reads it and acts upon it. That's why it's called CC, Constructive criticism, Not "having a go" at the resort! Our room was close to the pool and the river and quite noisy late in the evening from the restaurant and people start walking and yelling just after 6am on their way down to the jetty, so there are quieter rooms further away.

More like a 5*. Incredible place set among the jungle and mountain, along the river. We’ve had a perfect stay in room 510. Excellent size room and bathroom. Hot running water with great pressure. Comfy huge bed. Lounge seating area in the room. The food here was exemplary especially the breakfast, probably the best we’ve had in Thailand (have travelled here collectively more than 18 times) in terms of selection and quality. The grounds throughout are excellently maintained. The pools are clean. Towels are provided. Service was friendly and plentiful during our stay. We extended our stay because we didn’t want to leave. Thank you to the entire team here, keep up the great work.

The place is very beautiful and stunning- rooms are very well equipped and comfortable- the only big BUT is- it’s far from the village and restaurants/markets- meaning you depend on their facilities during your stay. Prices are 3 times higher than normally (massage at European prices, buffet lunch at 600bat, ride to anywhere can only be done through their private taxi services ridiculously expensive) it’s shameful to see how they take advantage of this. During our stay we saw very little tourists and nobody in the spa; the masseuses were sitting the whole day idle waiting for “a victim”- in short: if they would make prices more reasonable, we would have definitely have used more of their tours and offerings, but as is, it’s a trap. We used an DRIVE IN app to get a taxi from the hotel to “elephant haven” and while the hotel price was 2500bat, we ended up paying 1000 to the taxi who was more than happy to drive us around.
