If you go to kanchanaburi for one nigth or two it might work here.We
stay for 5 nights really nothing to do with worker don t really care
about us. Reception girl are nice but resturant people need more training
to do.We order room service once and never get the food cause the
guy forgot our room number the maneger call to say sorry but from
the sound when talking to him I don t think he really care.House keeping
cleaning the room very very lound and they forgot to clean our room
even know we staying at one of expensive room in that hotel. It a
big hotel and have a lot of tour group stying so guess they don t
care much about how guest think.Over all is a ok hotel but I will
never go back there again.I will give many other small hotel around
Kanchanaburi a chance than this big hotel and bad at service. |

Clean, spacious, quiet, very nice natural surrounding, plenty of space
and walk way to either walk around or jog around . Service very friendly
and efficient. Simple food from the menu, the special dinner cruise
with buffet was very good - could make the atmosphere more special
with a guitarist - a duo playing soft music instead of the pop tape/cd.
Many ants around on the balcony and lots of mosquitos in the room
which needs daily spraying. The jacussi and swimming pool are fine
but lots of leaves and again ants around the pool area - disturbing.
Very informative, friendly private taxi tour service. |

Good and nice hotel.However hotel is about 8km outside of Kanchanaburi,
so if you are looking for a quiet spa resort the hotel is fine. Rooms
are clean with A/C, breakfast is ok. You can rent bikes (not the newest
ones) in the hotel and you can also book different tours to Erawan,
River Kwai Bridge... |

Lovely resort but not too close to Kanchanaburi. Taxi into town each
day and back costs 400 baht. Breakfast was OK but not set out well.
Cutlery over here, plates over there, ketchup in another corner, toaster
at the other end, eggs done outside and so on. You kind of had to
chase your breakfast down by doing a sweep of the dining room. The
rooms were nice though and very clean. Very expensive inside the hotel.
i.e. Foot massage cost treble what it does in the town centre. However,
staff are great and resolve any problem almost immediately. We had
no hot water when we arrived but it was fixed within 15 minutes of
reporting it. Front desk staff were great correcting a problem with
the room type and the bell boys couldn t help enough. Really great
staff and a lovely resort, just a bit out the way. |

Hotel was very nice but VERY quiet, if you want to go anywhere at
all it s a taxi ride and as you are in the sticks , the hotel call
a taxi for you which you pay three times over the odds of a normal
taxi. We paid for for a drink in their bar than we did at home, which
you don t expect in Thailand. If you want solitude - it s the place
to go, if not stay in Kanchanaburi itself. |

The hotel is set in very nice grounds but the fabric of the hotel
is tired and in need of refurbishment if it is to live up to its star
catagory.There wasn t even a coffe/tea making facility in the room.
Equally, the restaurant needs a total rethink if it is to be anywhere
near reasonable. One evening, they provided a tour group with a buffet
which the remainder of us residents were not allowed to access. This
delayed our order considerably and the resulting meals didn t come
near to their menu description. While the sweet menu had icecream
as part of several choices, the hotel simply didn t have any during
our 4 day stay. Bar prices were undoubtedly high and with the hotel
quite some way from the main town, we were unable to go elsewhere
easily. I think the hotel relies on bus tour groups for its main trade
and when there were none, it became a bit like a ghost ship and none
of the services functioned properly. We certainly wouldn t go to this
hotel again. |

Very nice hotel.I did actually request a double room,preferably 1st
floor,but got a twin on the ground floor.The staff tried very hard
but the language barrier was a bit of a problem.Got the impression
they are more geared up to dealing with Thai groups.Lovely river frontage
and views,very peaceful.The nearby town is about 15-20 mins taxi away
and the restaraunts around the bridge area close about 8.30 and taxis
are then very hard to get.We thought about staying longer but once
we saw the Erewan falls and bridge etc.there wasn t a lot more to
do. |

This is a luxurious 4 and a half star resort with huge bedrooms; huge,
empty hotel space and glorious gardens. However, this resort lacked
intimacy and vibrancy. We were there for Chrismas but everything felt
flat. Not cheap. |

Excellent setting and facilities and certainly value for money. The
staff are tremendously helpful and friendly, having gone out of their
way to confirm our homeward flights and to arrange transport into
town on many occasions. The only downpoint was the price of drinks
- but at this class of hotel, one could half expect that. Buffet breakfasts
were good - spoilt for choice and again a lovely complement of restaurant
staff. 6 miles out of town - but the setting is worth it! We would
certainly stay here again! |
