Cheap but not so cheerful!
When we arrived they didn’t have our booking which was worrying but luckily they had a room for us. The room itself is incredibly basic and the bed is very hard. The communal area is quite nice overlooking the lake and there is tea and coffee available. Good location walking distance to plenty of restaurants and shops etc. The service wasn’t brilliant, the staff kept themselves to themselves and made you feel like you were in the way a little. I guess you get what you pay for with this place!

Fantastic location overlooking the River Kwai. Very clean. Staff very friendly. They don't serve food but there are plenty of places close by (especially the vegetarian restaurant 2 doors away from Tesco - this from meat lovers).

Romantic river view
Very nice location with friendly staff. Room with individual balcony overlooking the river - really classy and special. Room itself nothing special but with all you need (ac, bathroom etc). TV doesn't add value as all it produces is pixel-pulp - I wasn't there for the tv though.

Tranquil, friendly and centrally located
I loved my time here! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic but everything you need. I think for me the top qualities are: friendliness, tranquility and location. It's right on the main stripbut you can barely hear the music from the bars when you're in your room. The main woman helping me (I don't now if she was the owner or staff) went or of her way to take care of me. I banged you their motorbike pretty bad and she wasn't upset but was patient while I sorted myself out. The rooms on the water are gorgeous but I actually prefer the basic rooms upstairs as they are quieter. The only improvement I would recommend is softer beds but that is just a western preference and the beds are too hard for me in general throughout the country.

Nice hotel
Room was large and clean, air conditioning worked great! The staff is pretty hands off, which I actually enjoy. The pool was really nice too. I would stay here again.

Good value guesthouse
Good location in walking distance of shops/restaurants and train station, walkable to bus station and bridge over river Kwai but a bit further. Room was a good size and clean but bed was hard. Nice view from communal area over river. Friendly staff although limited English. Could do with new curtains as the ones currently there barely fit the window and makes you feel a bit exposed on ground floor rooms.

Good location
Good budget stay. Had a ground floor double fan room which didn’t get over hot even during the day. Overall was clean, a little dated but functioned well. Liked the outside seating area for each room. Bathroom shower had hot water, toilet was a scoop/manual flush. Unfortunately the bed was rock hard even for Thai standards, it’s like a solid slab of foam covered in plastic lookalike leather, bit odd. Staff didn’t speak much English but always made an effort to try and understand and help, they do laundry onsite for a really good price too. There’s a big terrace overlooking the river which is great for watching the sunset. Ten mins from train station and a leisurely 40 min walk to the River Kwai Bridge. Off the main road so quiet but just 100m from 7/11, restaurants etc. Bus station a bit far, can be walked but better to get a tuktuk. Extended from 1 night to 3 and would stay again.

Trop bruyant, matelas vieillot, climatiseur vieill
Nous avons été surpris de trouver le logement, pas tout à fait comme illustre les photos, la propriété laisse à désirer, certes le prix n'est pas élevé, mais trop bruyant autour.
