Great location and clean rooms”

Great location. It's only about 100-200 metres to the River Kwai Bridge, Art gallery & War Museum, and the day market (where they sell Thai snacks, souvenirs, gem jewellery, clothes, food). It's along River Kwai, and buffet breakfast (freshly cooked eggs such as sunny side up or omelette, sausages, toast, salad such as lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, egg fried rice, juices, coffee and tea, yogurt) is served at the open dining area that's along the river Kwai. Rooms have fast speed wifi, it's clean with towels, bottled shower foam and shampoo and free 2x mineral water daily. Twin beds is actually 2x super single beds that's joined together, hence looked much bigger. Resort provides tuk tuk to night market (abt 40baht/pax) to the night market (open space temporary stalls selling food, snacks, clothes, souvenirs, etc) that's near the Railway station. Tuk tuk from resort to Kanachanburi bus terminal is 100baht for 2pax. Resort offers day tours to nearby sightseeing (waterfall, elephant rides, tiger temple, death railway, etc), but unable to customise (hence we opted for a taxi to bring us around instead). Staffs were helpful as they immediately sent someone to help when we commented that the toilet flush is chocked. There's a mini swimming pool within the resort premises too. Definitely a much better location then staying at City centre.

Lovely resort ”

We spent 4 days at River kwai bridge resort. Room was very clean. Good air-conditioning,nice bed and good facilities. At breakfast there was plenty of food to choose from. The restaurant is by the riverside with a beautiful view of the bridge over the river Kwai. The resort is only a few minutes walk away from the bridge itself. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to visit kanchanaburi.

Walking distance to famous bridge.”

I was very pleased with the entire experience of staying at the River Kwai Bridge Resort. It is within short walking distance to the bridge, and war museum. Kwai Road, as this section of Kanchanaburi is referred to, is a quiet area with pubs and nightlife a little further up the road from the resort. The nightlife is near enough to walk, but far enough away that the incredible peacefulness and serenity of the resort is not disturbed.

An oasis at the River”

In walking distance to the Bridge, immediately adjacent to the famous River Kwai, the resort offers everything a traveler expects for a short stay at this historic place. We were six people from our Rotary Club and followed the recommendation of one of our members, who as an ambitioned Golfer stayed sometimes at this resort. The place provides parking space (guarded), has basement and 2nd floor rooms and bungalows and a nice garden area. Away from the main village road it is usually quiet in the evening. The breakfast included in the room includes everything you can wish here in Thailand, typical fried rice, fried eggs, fresh fruits, fruit juices, coffee (service yourself) from a professional coffee machine. And an amazing river view. After having had dinner twice somewhere in more fashionable places along the river (like the LOFT) at “international” prices we decided to take our last lunch on the river terrace of our resort. And we had delicious lunch at very reasonable prices!

The headlines say it all”

When you first arrive anywhere new and you have only seen the place on the Internet, sometimes it doesn't do what it says on the tin but this resort? does, it is right next to the river, (When Pierre boulle wrote the book and Peter dean made the film, neither of them had visited this area but had heard of the death railway which ran parallel with the river Kwai, it was the Kwai for so long then the big Kwai and we Kwai converged into the Meiklong which the bridge goes over, the Thai government changed the Meiklong to the Kwai in 1976 for obvious tourists reasons, Good hotel great location, lovely staff, really enjoyed my stay here

Delightful River Kwai Bridge Resort!”

I wished I would have booked another night or two since this resort was quaint, peaceful, and kept up fresh and clean. Further from the River Kwai Bridge than I would have liked but played tourist near the bridge anyway. There were bikes to ride, pool to swim in and the individual bungalows were updated and sided. Very nice visit and would stay there next time I visit Kanchanaburi.

Great Atmosphere”

The hotel has a wonderful resort feel atmopshere and the dining room overlooks the river. Staff were very friendly and very patient with us (tired travellers). We did not dine at the restaurant but the buffet breakfast was great with fresh cooked eggs and banana pancakes! Wifi did not work in our room at first but they were up straight away fixing the problem, the same when a wasp came into the room at night, someone came straight away to remove it. The hotel is very close to the River Kwai Bridge (5 minute walk) and therefore also close to restaurants on the river, markets and taxis/boats/sightseeing options etc. We had decided to go to the Floating Markets at Damneon Suduak and the hotel organised us a taxi that would take us there, WARNING there is a big scam going on where the driver takes you to a private pier instead of the Main pier and tried to charge obscene amounts of Baht to hire a boat becasue the driver gets a cut from it (We hired a boat from the main pier for 150B each!) So i dont know if the hotel knows that this heppens but i found it to be very common on the internet when i researched it and thought that if they knew they should warn people seeing as we trust them to hire us a taxi driver.

Great location, fantastic rooms”

Staff were excellent, very friendly, couldn't do enough. Rooms were high quality, despite being individual huts, each including a veranda. Breakfast was very good and the restaurant overlooks the River Kwai with a (sometimes partial) view of the bridge. This hotel is away from the main 'town' of Kanchanaburi, which suited us; it's close to the market and floating restaurants by the bridge but only a 15 minute walk (although be wary of dogs, late at night) or 80bht tuk-tuk ride from the main bars/restaurants. Would stay here again, as excellent value for money.

100% recommended ”

Indeed above all expectations if you wish to be close to River Kwai bridge. The chalets are the best option, economical and truly has the resort feel. Just a minor setback, there is no kettle in the room BUT they have hot water despenser at the lobby. If you plan to catch the morning train to Nam Tok (strongly recommended) this is the place to stay. Only point to note is beware of touts trying to rip you off with the train tickets. As the counter selling the train ticket (depart for Nam Tok @ 10.40am) had been closed now, its still available for purchase on board. Those touts would claim that the train is FULL already (kinda impossible with my experience over the years) and try sell you "VIP designated seats" at 200thb as compared to normal unreserved ticket just costing 100thb. Get a seat to the left for best view. Also dinner at Keeree Tara is a must too. Happy journey..

Quiet relaxing stay”

River Kwai Bridge Resort is located within easy walking distance of the famous bridge in a quiet riverside location. Accomodation is not luxurious but the rooms are of a good size, well maintained and clean which are my main requirements. Staff are friendly and welcoming and those we encountered were able to assist us in good english which is not always the case in small resort hotels away from Bangkok. Overall our stay was trouble free and we returned home relaxed and recharged after a most enjoyable break away from the heat and humidity of Bangkok.

Affordable, convenient, and close to almost everything”

River Kwai bridge resort is a charm little place along the Kwai river and a few meters from the river Kwai bridge. The place can use some renovation, specially in the bathrooms, but is comfortable, clean, with a very good wireless internet access and a very good buffet breakfast that you can enjoy in the terrace of the restaurant that faces the river and the bridge. The hotel is a walking distance from the River Kwai Bridge, the War Museum and the Jetah museum. There are several options for restaurants close to the bridge. The swimming pool of the hotel is nice and well kept. The price of the hotel is very affordable. Piece of advise, do not ask for a room with a view, because they really do not have a view, except for the restaurant.

Good value for money”

- Good value for money - Hotel was good for access to museum and bridge over river Kwai, and pleasant grounds. - Room (Cottage) was comfy - The restaurant which is beside the River Kwai you can see the River Kwai bridge - Nice view of well management garden area ***** Con - Wifi occasionally difficult to connect - Bathroom was not so cleaned *** I had to pay breakfast extra 120 baht / day (2 days) for my 4 years old son (109 CM) used exiting bed and changed to the other cottage on 2nd night because leaking water from air-con ***

A great place to stay”

The River Kwai Bridge Hotel, could not be in a better location to see the Bridge. There is not a better location to take a photo of the bridge than the hotels outside restaurant. The staff are constantly cleaning inside and outside the hotel grounds.We would not think of staying anywhere else in fact we have book a room for next week we were that impressed

Very Good Location Within Sight Of "The Bridge"”

We stayed here to visit the Bridge and Death railroad where so many compatriots suffered and died at the hands of the Japanese in WW2. the hotel is quiet and peaceful and a perefect base to meditate and ponder on the sad past during the Japanese invasion. The hotel was an easy walk to the bridge and we were able to take tours from here to Konyu Cutting, the Australian-built museum dedicated to the men who fought and died building the Railroad under terrible conditions. The room was large and adequate for all our needs. breakfast was good too, overlooking the River Kwai and the Bridge. Will highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again for sure.

Beautiful stay by the Riverside”

My parents and I had a great time here. The restaurant has a gorgeous view of the river and the River Kwai bridge. We were very close to the main River Kwai area and were able to take a short tuk tuk ride to the night market, which was lots of fun. The room itself was comfortable with a nice balcony overlooking the restaurant and river. We booked a private boat tour with the hotel and we were picked up right at the restaurant, so it was very convenient. Overall, we had a great time here and would stay here again!

Exceptional”

room was spacey with nice nature environment, the staff is good and i enjoyed the evening view of river kwai bridge from the hotel restaurant . it was a awesome. shops are near very convenient. in fact the is a museum nearby (JAETH) but death railway museum in kanchanaburi is better than this. enjoyed my stay here

Nice place for relax.”

The hotel locate so near with the River Kwai Bridge and the street of food and restaurants. The accommodation is big, clean, good facilities. Breakfast is variety of qualifying food, beside the Kwai river and the view of River Kwai Bridge. The hotel surround with the garden, big tree. Quiet and privacy for relax and lazy time. Also bicycle service - free of charge.

Spend the afternoon watching the boats go by”

We stayed in a villa which we really liked, no problems. Other reviews have said the mattress is hard which it is but we still slept fine. Clean and tidy resort with pool right on the river. Was a relaxing way to spend the afternoon having a drink and watching the boats go by. Short walking distance to the River Kwai bridge. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Would come here again.

Nearby River Kwai bridge ”

We stayed in Villa room during 2 nights in River Kwai Bridge resort. Love the place as the restaurant is in front the river Kwai and with the garden surrounding. The place is very quiet. It takes about 6 mins walk to River Kwai bridge and restaurants are nearby. The staffs are friendly.

Fantastic value for money resort”

We had a wonderful stay. Our room was lovely, big and clean. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The resort was located near the River Kwai Bridge and train station. Breakfast was good and included in the price which made this the best value for money resort on our trip and we would not hesitate to return there.
