lovely hotel ”

you have to stay there to enjoy the place. as the name suggest it is really scenic riverside resort.. it is just next to the riverside you will enjoy the good view and the breeze.. we stay the bavaria cottage, it is very exclusive. the resort has a swimming which is great to laze around. the owner is a very nice guy who gave us good tips to move around, speaks good english. the location is away from thse guesthouses that lonely planet marked and away from food places. but it is near the historical park. there is nothing much in town actually. owner loan us his bicycles to get the places which is great!

Great stopover in Kamphaeng Phet”

this is the second time we have broken the trip bkk to chiang mai in khampaeng phet. the city is part of the unesco heritage site that includes sukhothai and sisachanalai. both times we have stayed at the scenic riverside. this is an unusual place-- the bungalows are concrete and stone, very attractive and immaculate. each room has a different theme and they are stuffed with a lot of bric a brac. the staff (owner) is nice and helpful. and there is a wonderful hot spring about 20 miles away. definitely worth a day or two. i recommend the scenic riverside as a change from the usual "resort" or city hotel in up country thailand. you will not find tour buses here.

Eccentric and pleasant.....”

I normally stay at the Riverview hotel which is OK, but no more than that, and unlike the"Scenic" it does not have what you could honestly call a river view....although it may have done once upon a time. "Scenic" is run by very nice, very helpful people. It looks like the Mali village from star Wars and is perched at the end of town nearest the historical park and quite close to the best restaurant on this side of the river, the "good view". They have a terrace at the back which gives you fantastic sunset views over the very wide Ping river. The hotel is not that quiet because they have some quite noisy birds including a Cockerell(why do they do that...??!) Breakfast is basic but Khun Boo will cook you some eggs to go with your self-help toast so it's fine (breakfast at the Riverview is dreadful). Better if you have a car but I do recommend it.

Uniquely designed hotel, memorable stay”

Hotel is uniquely designed by the owner (Mr T). He is quite friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and his tips made our stay much more memorable than it otherwise would have been. The room was clean and interesting. The surroundings are cute, and there's a great view from the swimming pool. Location is excellent, close to the historic park, and it's convenient to rent bicycles or a motorcycle to get around. Town center is ~3 km, (20 min by bicycle). Would have been great value even if we paid 2x what we did. The only drawback is not many food options nearby (there are a few, but it's a small town, and historic park is away from the center). Stock up in the 7-11 for the evening. Even at the height of the rainy season, our stay was so nice that we decided to extend it rather than going onwards to another town.

Warm lovely resort”

Scenic Reverside Resort locates in good which close the History museum with nice view of reverside. Room is well prepared for customer in particular cleanliness. We impress the decoration and environment of this resort that make us feel warm and relax.

Nice quiet suburb resort.”

Nice and quiet resort in the suburb of the city. Original design of rooms is interesting, the pool is regularly cleaned, our room was at the riverside which is a nice plus. The garden could be a bit more clean/maintained but okay.

creative architecture with friendly staff”

i had a great stay at scenic riverside resort. the staff were very nice and the location was great - very close to old city, can see old wall from guest house. would recommend if you'd like to try something different.

Very scenic as its name”

The cottage was beautifully decorated and clean. The resort itself is a small one but with big trees and chickens walking around in the lawn which make it very attractive. The hotel receptionist was very helpful.

Very good value”

A bit out from the center but lovely view over river. The lady owner is lovely and always trying to help when not feeding the horses, chickens, birds etc. We borrowed 2 bikes which we used to cycle sound the 2 historical park areas. Make sure you go the the forest of temples site which is a small bike ride out from the city walls. Only thing is her bikes are a bit dated and in need of some TLC. Hopefully if more people stay she can upgrade the bikes.

Roomy and clean close to historical park”

The owner is very attentive and helpful. It is also near the city center.

Lovely hotel and service with a smile”

The room is nicely decorated and it is very clean. It is unique, unlike other hotels and it is very cozy. It has a nice view too. With a pool for everyone to use. The owner was lovely and friendly. My stay at that hotel was the best among the many hotels i stayed in in Thailand.

Lovely special hotel”

This was a really positive surprise for me. Great funny decoration, very nice and helpful staff. Peaceful relaxing place next to the river. A bit far from the city, but with own car it is no problem.

QUIRKY ”

We had a great 2 nights stay,very comfortable and homely and had everything we need close ride to historic park Pool was Fantastic especially after riding bikes and seeing the sights The designs of the rooms/houses were amazing architecture and bright white Quirky and different decor Really fun place to stay great for kids gardens were lush green with interesting sculptures and bits and pieces The owners were so helpful and kind just lovely people,even woke up at 4am to drive us to the bus station Would stay again

Great resort with even greater service!”

Upon a long taxi ride from the bus station, as the taxi got the directions wrong, twice. We were greeted with a warm welcome from the owner, who was more than enthusiastic about us arriving and showing us to one of his newly, unique built bungalows (Bavarian). The bungalow was spacious, had a high standard of cleanliness with a few trinkets to give it a homely feel. Every nights sleep was peaceful and comfortable. The homemade breakfast in the morning was really nice with self service toast and tea/coffee facilities. Although a 20 minute walk to the town centre, the Historical Park (a contender for Ayutthaya and Sukhothai) is right on the doorstep.

Great staff, original design”

The owner and his help are extremely sweet, they helped us a lot: where to dine (excellent advice), they lent us an old motocycle (for free, even gas), they were discret and efficient. The design of the hotel is really original, but we were in the dry season (april) and the surrondings were not as green unfortunately. The swimming poold is nice, and it's just in front of the river. We went to their place by redcab (80 bahts for 2) but they told us they could have picked us up. And indeed they accompanied us back to the bus station. To note, it is not downtown, but with the motocycle that was not a problem. Good stay, good adress.

Nice and lovely”

Nice and cute decorate. Magnificent river view with small swimming pool. A bit far from city center, you need a car.

Dream time”

This is the most magical place,each bungalow has been designed and made with care. The lime finish on the buildings makes them seem Mediterranean. The whimsical decoration and wild garden make it all a delight to stay in. Worth breaking up the long drive up to the north and stepping out into a dreamscape. Don't miss out on the pool! And if you can take advantage of the delightful roof tops.

Quirky rooms and beautiful setting”

a very quirky hotel with strange rooms full of bizarre objects. we loved it! perhaps not for everyone, but it is very soulful and fun. kids really enjoyed all the toys and visual stimulation. the best thing about the hotel is the setting. it is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful, with a swimming pool by the river and lots of greenery.

Peaceful hideaway with a lovely feel to it. ”

Don't use google maps to find this hotel, it is wrong and sends you to the middle of nowhere outside of town. The hotel had a good garden with swings and places for the children to play. The pool was lovely, with a view of the river. There were lots of mosquitos because of the proximity to the river but there were bats provided in the rooms.

Wonderful view over the Ping river”

To start with the positive sides: the view of the Ping river is - particularly in the early morning - very alluring. The swimming pool is not big but very well maintained, and the girl who seemed to be doing most of the work was very helpful and friendly. Other than that: it is indeed a hotel with a certain 'concept': each room is in as separate little whitewashed house sprawled out over a garden with some beautiful trees. There are ponies (not sure what they're doing there - they may be part of the 'concept') and a colony of midget chickens. On the inside, we noticed that our room could do with a lick of paint. There was also only one window that could be opened. And the room was full of bric-a-brac, as if we were staying (uneasily) in a yound girl's room that had been untouched for 20 years. The bed was also not great: the mattress was too small for the frame, and there was a plastic (!) sheet under the cover on my side. Maybe the little girl who lived here still peed in the bed? If this is the best hotel in Kamphaeng Phet, then it must be for lack of competition.
