by Sultan H Merchant Visit Date:February 9, 2012 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "A big hotel with an even bigger breakfast buffet, good location as close to bus station and railway stationAfter these two points everything is downhill as far as the hotel goes. First surprise front desk people can hardly say a few words in English. Second surprise free Internet for only 3 hours a day. This was never disclosed by Sawadee nor the hotel and amounts to misrepresentationAwful hand basin tap which when turned on would spray water all over. Plastic underneath the bed mattress which creaked the whole night long but the paper thin walls and the parties in adjoining rooms BOTH helped in preventing you from sleepingPLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS ? Dirty dilapidated room, torn shower curtain were the other highlights <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |

by ORVAIN VINCENT Visit Date:July 15, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Be careful to some rooms which are located just above the main karaoke in town ! Because if you are in one of these rooms, you can not sleep because the sound is really too strong... I have admit that some voices are not pleasant to hear ^ ^ But a very good hotel overall. Breakfast buffet plentiful, many choices. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
by Ulf Visit Date:July 5, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Gammalt och slitet hotell med mager frukostbuffe och ett tradlost internet som inte fungerade.Pa plussidan ar att det ligger valdigt centralt och har en bra restaurang pa utsidan om hotellet och ett diskotek om man gillar att dansa." |

by Ronald Richmond Visit Date:May 17, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Loved the city, people, and the hotel.I would go back again. Pool was nice, morning buffet was excellent. Room was cleaned daily. All in all I was pleased. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
by Sudershan Singh Gusain Visit Date:April 15, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Old rustic charms! Translates into: Broken almirah door (I have photos), Torn curtains, worn carpets, wash basing tap spilling water on you. However, great location being very close to and in between the railway station, bus stand, night market, war cemetery and River Kwai death railway bridge. Coffee machine with coffee/tea sachets is a standard service these days but not at this hotel. Despite written confirmation by Sawadee, they refused to provide the coffee maker, though they provided free hot water in thermos. Fairly good services including free wi-fi, swimming pool and gym. great interiors and collection of nice paintings and murals are over once you leave the reception area. The themed bar with live Rodeo music seemed nice as I did not use the services. Breakfast was average. If you want to connect to history, its nice. Howeevr if you prefer nice maintenance, young courteous staff and standard services, go for a newly constructed hotel. However the hotel did not honour the promise of providing water heater/ coffee maker. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
the hotel did not keep a room for us, March 19, 2011 by Dr. Abed Yosef Visit Date:February 26, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The hotel location is in the city (not near the bridge). the rooms are very big. The hotel did not have available room for us when we arrived (late). They wanted to upgrade with no charge but only for 1 night out of 3. (We did not want to change room and they did not accept to give us 3 night upgrade so they gave us room with air-condition problem and flush problem in the toilet. Breakfast was very good <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
by Hao Ning Chang Visit Date:February 19, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "It s a good bargain for money. But the disco on the 1st floor is quite noisy till mid-nite if your room facing the street." |
by Neil Sandilands Visit Date:February 17, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Have stayed here before, poolside bar would benefit from a better beer fridge." |
by David Alfred White Visit Date:February 15, 2011 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Excellent service from all staff. Room looked a little tired but very good value for money. Good menu and food quality was excellent. Location is a tuk-tuk ride away from the tourist part of town on a busy road but does not suffer from traffic noise." |
by Christopher Leo Sweeney Visit Date:December 28, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The Hotel was dirty old and very dated. Carpets grubby, everything very tatty and in desperate need of refurbishment. Breakfast not worth bothering about. The worst was the late night music and dreadful vocal accompanyment till 2am. We shall definately not be staying there again. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
by Lim Tow Heng Visit Date:November 23, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Nice Hotel.Staffs are helpful, especially the parking crew who would greet and chat about our activities.Should have more informations on festivities, e.g. where and when are the celebrations." |
by Jasper Visit Date:November 12, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "- Rooms are a bit outdated.+ Very friendly staff. Made us feel very welcome and did everything to make our stay comfortable." |
by Taya Bose/Victoria Rhodes Visit Date:October 28, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "The hotel looked promising when we went in and staff were efficient. The main part of our room was fine, but the bathroom was a bit dilapidated both decoration wise and there were a few broken tiles and some mould on the walls with some frayed old paintwork. In their favour they do appear to be doing up the rooms bit by bit. Staff were very nice and helpful. There were no internet services after 11pm as their cafe closed around that time, but they do have free wifi if you have your own computer. The hotel is about 5km from the bridge, but handy for the food market every night which is well worth a visit and things like the bus station and the TAT office.The breakfast wasn t up to much, although there was a lot of choice the quality was not great, although not appalling. The main problem was on our second night at 1.20am we awoke to the sound of running water and it was literally raining in our bathroom. This was interesting, as it wasn t raining outside! 3 people came from reception who didnt really speak much english but who were terribly concerned. They bought a technician who declared that the problem couldn t be fixed. The manager was very willing to please and relocated us in a better grade room. He also allowed us to leave our belongings in the rainy room, so we could tidy up in the morning. Unfortunately the better grade room, while it looked very nice, smelled very peculiar and one of us had a damp bed. So the next morning we requested to change again and were given a room that was the same as the rainy room, but luckily minus the rainy bathroom! Again the bathroom was a bit worse for wear but much better than our first one.All in all it didn t get in the way of our enjoying Kanchanaburi but I would recommend that you have a look at the room before you take it. <span style="display:none">[R24 integr.ERR:escaping]</span>" |
