I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were decent, offering a veranda with a smoking seat area, but they needed modernization and a good clean. On the bright side, my room had a great balcony overlooking the Kwai Noi River.

The rooms were what you'd expect of a three-star hotel, needed modernization and a good clean, but the balcony river view on the Kwai Noi was great.

The service was a bit of a hit and miss. While the staff smiled a lot and were quick in collecting our bags, overall, they seemed crammed into the remaining carriages and some were unfriendly.

I was thrilled with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy with a private terrace overlooking the river and lush jungle. The free boat service to the hot spring was a nice touch, making the experience exceptional. However, some aspects of the service fell short, with wearisome and unwelcoming staff encountered. The stunning location amidst gardens and alongside the river offered a truly relaxing setting, and the dining options were quite good but limited in variety. The facilities were top-notch and well-maintained.

The hotel offers large rooms with great views of the river, although in need of a makeover. The service was efficient overall, with a touch of warmth from staff like Emma.

The hotel offers a unique experience with its charming terrace area surrounded by flower boxes and the serene river flowing underneath. The lush jungle view adds to the beauty, though the air conditioning and lack of hot water were minor drawbacks. The food was exquisite, standing out among the six hotels we visited in Thailand.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were spacious and had a comfortable bed with great decor, I noticed they were a little dirty in certain areas. The bathrooms, however, felt a bit tired. The service was exceptional, especially in catering to my wife's preferences for fish and vegetarian options. The location was excellent, providing easy access to attractions like the Death Railway and the Bridge over the River Kwai. Unfortunately, the dining experience was not up to par, with limited options and overall disappointing food quality.
