The hotel building is amazing. Beautiful pool and pleasant gardens. It's a shame that the stairs and hallways are not cleaned properly and were not washed during our entire stay. Signs of liquids and dirt. The building is outdated and there are plumbing problems and uncomfortable spring mattresses. Other than that, it was nice.

A quiet hotel just outside Kanchanaburi. We stayed for a couple of nights to visit the museum / bridge and walk the Erawan Falls.

+
Good, quiet location (out of town so off-site amenities require transport)
Easy to find
Pretty grounds and setting
Stylish - although tired - building
Room was huge!
Price point appropriate for what you get

-
Not a 5 star resort by any means
Chaotic, under seated, under prepared, under staffed breakfast with very limited, average quality items (although the egg station was very good)
Mediocre items in the room. Would expect premium beverages / a coffee maker and premium toiletries for a \"5 star\" hotel. This hotel has neither
Rice Barn restaurant was deeply average. Trying to be a luxury Thai dining experience. Food was greasy and not flavoursome (setting was pleasant on the river though) if you have a car, go to the Keeree Mantra restaurant up the road instead which is superb
Staff were sparse and slow.

An ok stay for the money, but the hotel really should not describe itself as luxury or 5*. Probably was in the past, but is way behind the times.

The facility feels somewhat dated and worn. While the buildings appear to have been well constructed, they have not been well maintained. The surrounding yards and overall resort compound could benefit from better upkeep, as they feel a bit neglected. With improved maintenance and management, this could be a truly great place.
That said, the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful—easily five-star service. The breakfast buffet was enjoyable, though vegetarian options were quite limited.

The hotel buildings and grounds beside the river are lovely, the huge downside for any prolonged stay, is only one restaurant, serving only Thai food. Strangely the same restaurant provides the room service menu with international cuisine. But this is not served in the restaurant. Also no evening lounge or hotel bar available. So at night you would just be sitting in the room with one English TV channel. The town centre is about 10min drive away.

Lovely room = junior suite overlooking the river kwai big size, only negatives I would raise are the fact it’s a resort in a tourist hotspot yet not 1 English speaking tv channel and what’s with the DVD players if you don’t have a stock of DVDS people don’t randomly travel with DVDS and when I asked reception they just did not understand me at all, and locks on the balcony doors of which I had 2 provide no security whatsoever as i locked my partner on both balconies and she pushed both doors open with ease so that needs to be addressed.

Our room is on separated building which gave us privacy and nice river view. The pool is gigantic with beautiful sight. Hotel location is better with motorbike or car to travel around with.

PS. It’s not hotel fault but we heard loud EDM music from room balcony from a club or a night market near River Khwae Bridge, but luckily the room has nice sound proof.

dont charge premium if t place does not warranted

this was a terrible experience from the start: i got into this resort around 7pm and no one was present by the door so i have to carry my bags to the front desk, looks like they are very short handed and i certainly understand.

i reserved and paid for a upgraded room with a king bed and i received 2 twin bed pushed together and 2 comforter and only 1 night stand. first night i slept in the room the ceiling fan was making this thumping noise that kept me up all night. i got up and turned it off and use the ac instead, needless to say the ac also hums probably because it hadnt been used for quite some time.

complaint to the front desk next morning and ask to changed room, was told that would send a maintenance guy to look at the issues. waited 2 hours and went back to the front desk and asked to see a manager and was told the manager would not be in till 1pm, the clerk called the maintenance staff again and did fix the noise. she told me that they dont have any room to move me since they are fully booked. problem is i dont see any customers around at all.

air conditioner is hums, gym equipment are not operating. the place is pretty run down, see photos.

this review is really for the property and not for the staff, i think the staff is doing the best they can with what they got. this is an old property and no money is given to upgrade any of their equipment, quite sad, it is a nice property and i was charged premium fee to stay there during a holiday.

Skeleton crew in a deserted resort

I was willing to be understanding as times are hard for all resorts, but this place really was just too bad.
Arrival there was no one to greet us and no signs. Had to wander around to find the concierge.
No staff at night, which makes me wonder what they’d do in case of emergencies.
Anything other than the room is left unswept.
We were one of 4 visitors in the WHOLE resort, and they still stuck us room to room so we could hear everything through the adjoining door and smell the guy smoking.
Breakfast was basic and served in the room, otherwise there was no room service.
In good times, I doubt things would have been so bad, but there was really nothing for the guests at this time

If we had known, we would have planned to stay a little longer here. The hotel is beautiful and we love the garden and the swimming pool area too. The room is big and beautiful (classic Thai style). Only one NEED TO KNOW before you book is that the building has no lifts. Despite only 3 storeys, the place may not be suitable or friendly to older people. We hope the hotel will install lifts in the future as other hotels have done that.

Away Devah Mantra Resort- a place worth staying in

Trip was good, could have been amazing, but the house keeping staff was not so good. Room was dirty, the bathroom also not cleaned properly, the upper areas were dusty. Room did not have an ironing board which is mandatory now in all three star and above properties, the same soap was kept for all the five days, the housekeeping maid ate the chocolates kept for us in the room. These small things tell you that the staff was not well groomed. The food was very delicious whenever we ate at the hotel including the breakfast. The property is very beautiful and has been maintained well.
We had taken a family room, the room was very nice, but the cupboard was insufficient for a family of three. We could not unpack, we had to live out of suitcases for five days that we spent there. Other than that, we had a very amazing time in Kanchanaburi, loved the place, and fell in love with River Kwai. The hotel too is an amazing place to stay apart from the little hiccups like they ask you to buy water if you consume your daily quota, but then the housekeeping staff cheated us out of that too, as they never kept all the three bottles, that was our quota, in the room. It can be an amazing place to stay if these small things are taken care of.

Wow!!!!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this beautiful hotel. It was huge and the grounds were gorgeous with a view of the river. The staff were very kind and helpful. My 2 children loved swimming in the beautiful pool that was almost always deserted, except for 1-2 families. The hotel reminded us of a gigantic plantation style home. The breakfast was delicious, had excellent variety, and filled us up at the start of each day. The property is older, but absolutely gorgeous. The front desk provided us with a universal plug and free dvds for the kids. This property is a short drive to town, and therefore a bit isolated. The airport transfer back to Bangkok was pricey, but we didn’t really have any other options. The Bridge over River Kwai was nearby. We were sad to leave this place and highly recommend it!!!!

Nice stay here. We had a room that 'almost' had a view of the river. I say almost because it's still a good 20 meters from the river. We got twin beds instead of a king of double, even though I requested for 1 king/double. So wasn't too happy about that, but they pushed them together in advance. So there was that big crack in the middle. Very nice breakfast. Beautiful surrounding scenery as well. Also competitive price.

Very nice stay at this lovely hotel. The hotel, gardens etc very nice. Our room was lovely and I very much enjoyed our stay.
My only criticism would be the swim up poolside bar. It’s not very often staffed by bar staff who can serve drinks. There was someone around looking after towels and asking room numbers for those pool towels, but guests struggled to get served a poolside drink.
I saw one guest who had been waiting for some considerable time go behind the bar to phone reception to ask for them to send bar staff so she could have a drink.
However this was just a minor inconvenience really but I was aware of a few guests who were a little frustrated by this issue.

This property is beautiful; the pool was particularly nice. However, while it has the appearance of a four-star property and is one of the best in town there are serious areas needing improvement.

The restaurant staff while very pleasant and hard-working struggle with completing their tasks. We stayed for three nights. The first two nights 4 of 5 got their drink order but we had to reorder the fifth. The third night everyone got their drink order but 1 of the 5 did not get their dinner. Staff were totally unfamiliar with the menu. For example, while trying to order a gin and tonic the wait staff wrote down that we wanted and gin and a bacardi and a tonic with lime.

The hotel provides transportation/tour booking service but doesn't always provide what is promised. We booked a van to take 5 adults on two tours of several hours. We were presented with a small SUV that only seated four with the expectation that one adult would sit in the far back with their legs on the seat. Replacing the SUV with the promised van took over an hour.

On our first day the toilet in our room was clogged. They sent housekeeping four times with a plunger but this was never successful. I had to speak to a manager to finally get a more experienced plumber to work on the toilet.

The hotel sits outside Kanchanaburi proper so if you arrive without a car you are stuck at the property. Guests arriving without a car would be better served if the hotel ran a shuttle into town.

Fabulous!

We stayed two nights at this hotel and wished we could have stayed longer. It is beautifully presented and maintained. Its location by the river is charming and the gardens and pool area are well kept and spotless. The location is a little outside of Kanchanaburi so if you don't have your own transport you would need to use taxis. But that is a small price to pay for staying at such a wonderful hotel. We had a river view room which was very comfortable. Internet was fast and reliable. Breakfast is a substantial buffet catering for all tastes. We dined at the Rice Barge and the food and service was excellent. We shall certainly be returning in the not too distant future for a longer stay.

Lets start with the good points. Firstly the hotel was as it looked, big, clean, colonial looking with a great landscape. The room was large and although not modern was a nice space to be in. The balcony overlooked the gardens and pool and was very peaceful and quiet. The pool was perfect, very big and almost no one there. The Rice Barge food we had on our second night was fanatic and the lady serving s did a good job throughout. Lastly the porter was very friendly and smiley.

Now to the bad. STAFF!!!!!! The receptionists were less than helpful one in particular who would not smile or act in a friendly manner if the world depended on it. Always sour faced, unwilling to assist and generally not a nice person to have to deal with. As fr the rest of the staff its is clear that this hotel is aimed at local clients, meaning the staff spoke little to no english. Asking for things, getting help etc was a major chore and in the end we gave up. Very frustrating for an apparent 5 star. Next, The location although tranquil means its also out of the way of anything n the area. If you want to get out its a taxi ride every time, and being as there is little to so in the hotel after dark you will indeed want to get out. Restaurants wise there is a choice of 2, and one bar (not including the pool bar) which was closed each time we went. When dining at night one thing is apparent, the lighting is way to bright to be comfortable, indeed this applies throughout the entire hotel...mood killed

Not as expected

What promises to be a gorgeous destination with its imposing entrance & gorgeous grounds & pool is, unfortunately, somewhat disappointing in reality. Staff at check-in were not friendly and in fact, aside from a few friendly faces, most acted as if they didn't want to be there - and that's if you could find anyone.

When they made a big mistake with a transport booking, there was no sincere apology & compensation / attempt to rectify.

What else?

The reception desk was not staffed until 8am (not good when the 7.30am transport you had been told had been booked by them did not turn up); most restaurants were not open or set-up on time (i.e. coffee & egg station not ready at breakfast time; pool bar barely open); food in the Rice Barge restaurant & at breakfast was decidedly average at best; no room service menu in room but someone's old crackers were on the floor by the bed; damp smelling rooms; gym full of what appeared to be locals & equipment broke (!); dark lighting around the grounds at night (especially leading towards the rice barge restaurant); lights not working in the bathroom; issues at check-out & they also forgot to add on costs that I had to remind them about; no mention of the hotel transfer service (or, once it transported you, no mention that it actually doesn't run all night).

Stay here if you're used to 2-star places & wanting something better to 'treat' yourself with - but don't stay here if you are used to 4-5 star places and seeking something similar.

Amazing!

So beautiful. Reception and welcome was great. They spoke very good English. This place is beautiful. Breakfast was very good as were both restaurants and swim up bar service. The rooms are very spacious with great patio and fan. I would give this place 5+ stars BUT the bed was Hard!
Near by...Erawan Waterfall. Go all 7 levels. Wear a hiking sandle you can wear into water. its definitely hot, But you can do it. You don’t have to be in great shape but you do have to be determined.

I keep going back.

I've been to Dheva Mantra several times. The rooms are big, with balconies overlooking their incredible tropical garden. Love the river view and the floating restaurant.

Food a disappointment

The facilities were great at this place however, definitely overpriced for Thailand. We didn't use the spa based on this.
Our main issue was with the food. The Tiara restaurant served reheated food to us and a basic breakfast on the first day followed by a full breakfast spread the next. Our room service took forever to arrive and they got our order wrong (we received a variation of what was on the menu).
Great place for a wedding or function but wouldn't recommend it to recreational travelers.

A nice relaxing weekend away!

A lovely place to get away from city life. The resort is set next to the river Kwai and has a gigantic pool. The buildings are colonial style and the surrounding gardens are beautiful. The rooms are very nicely furnished with teak wood throughout and high ceilings. Its about 3km drive to the tourist part of town.

a friendly resort

A beautifully maintained property right on the banks of riwer kwai. the staff are helpful and very nice... overall very nice experience... i would have given 5 stars to this for service and maintenance however a few minus points
the bathrooms though are nice but they need to made more comfortable. the water pressure keep on wavering and in shower u wont know when u r hit by extremely hot water followed by cold shower. its funny in a way but keep u on edge.
its a minor issue for which only some maintenance is required.
the food though is good but not gourmet food.. i am talking about their restaurant river barge... the food was good but i would have expected better food at an authentic thai restaurant. i must add that there was nothing wrong with the food but it could be better.
overall i was quiet happy with their service and even location. however u need to be dependant upon taxis as the resort is a few kms away from the city and other attractions.

Great place but not a great value for the money

This is a place that you would want to stay at if you have a family or you want to stay at the hotel and enjoy the grounds. Both restaurant at the hotel were really good and the staff was pleasant. The spa was outrageously overpriced and the over value for what we payed didn't seem to match other places we stayed at in Thailand.
A nearby venue blasted music night and day and the room suffered from lack of maintenance for a 5 star hotel. I would however still recommend this place because of its gorgeous grounds and good food.

Great hotel. Should have better food .

I have been to Kanchanaburi many times. This is the best hotel I have seen.

Great hotel . Very beautiful and spacious. Grounds and garden immaculate. The river views were spectacular. Good there was adequate in restaurant, but not great. Breakfast was subpar. But I would stay there again.
