Nice place great bang for buck!

Nice accommodation in the very middle of the kanchanaburi ‘Strip’, lovely riverside setting and friendly staff. Taxis available outside pretty much 24/7 with both the bus and train station a short 5 minute taxi away. Only problem was there is next to no noise insulation so you can hear next door very easily and on the weekend when we stayed on friday and saturday there is VERY loud music from 16:00-12:30 which the bass shakes the rooms. Other than that it was a very pleasant stay!

Decent hotel with a range of room types right off of the main tourist strip. The riverside bungalows were atmospheric, though not luxurious. A good choice for those on a budget.

Not bad budget place

We only stayed one night. It's not a bad place but it's very basic. The rooms are little huts right over the river which you get to via metal walkways. It's one of the more interesting places I've stayed but I don't think I'd have wanted to stay longer than we did. It's fairly easy to walk to some local restaurants and places to drink and it was quiet.

Niet zo vriendelijk

Personeel bij de receptie was niet echt vriendelijk en heeft ons ook een extra nacht laten betalen,terwijl we deze zouden krijgen omdat we er langer verbleven. Op het laatste moment werden we tegen gehouden toen onze taxi er was en moesten we alsnog betalen. Taxi was al betaald en wilde niet te lang wachten, dus was snel verdiend...
Het is gelegen in een gezellige straat met eten, drinken en bars. Kamer was voorzien van airco en koelkast.
