Riverpool Resort
Compare prices
Situated along the river in the heart of Kanchanaburi's tourist district, Riverpool Resort offers a quiet retreat despite its central location. Tucked down a side street on a generous property, the resort provides easy access to the area's main attractions while maintaining a calm, unhurried atmosphere. Rooms are clean and well-furnished, with comfortable beds and notably large ensuite bathrooms featuring walk-in showers with good water pressure.
The property has a soaking pool, a restaurant, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Guests staying in river-facing rooms benefit from direct water views, adding a pleasant backdrop to an otherwise straightforward stay. The owners and management are frequently praised by visitors for being welcoming and helpful, contributing to a generally warm and personal atmosphere that larger hotels in the area may not offer.
It is worth noting that guest experiences have been mixed in some areas, with a small number of visitors raising concerns about pool cleanliness and insects in certain rooms. Prospective guests who are particularly sensitive to these issues may want to contact the resort directly before booking to confirm current conditions. The resort operates daily from 6am to midnight, making it flexible for both early arrivals and late check-ins. Given the riverside setting and central position, this property suits travellers looking for a no-frills but comfortable base from which to explore Kanchanaburi.

Reviews from Google
Good place in very central spot. It is on the river and in the middle of the tourist area. It's off down a side street on a large property and is very quiet. The manager is a very helpful guy. The rooms are in good condition.
I spent two nights at this hotel over the last weekend. Overall I personally enjoyed my stay. The room was nice and as advertised, and I was right along the river. It had a bed, desk, mini fridge, as well as a full bathroom. As well as air-conditioning and wifi in my room. For me the price was worth it, although I am used to more expensive prices in America so this felt reasonable. You are also right next to a very nice restaurant that has good food for a good price and within a 5-15 minute walk of other bars and restaurants. The staff was extremely nice as well, and very caring and helpful. They offer toast and coffee in the morning complimentary.
The pool was very dirty, the room had ants outside and bugs inside the bed. I had to find a new room, I just booked this place for the pool.
