Royal River Kwai Resort and Spa

Great river view and pool. Really nice room with comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. Spa available and great food. Not too crowded, the perfect location if you want to relax for a couple of days without moving too much around. This hotel is more to stay rather than to be used as a hub to move around the area. If you want to do that, better stay directly in Kanchanaburi. Bring a book and relax next to the pool.

The pool is absolutely stunning! We had a magical time here, our room was quite, clean and super comfortable. The dinning area for dinner service down by the river was wonderful, the staff super attentive. Food was delicious for all meals. We enjoyed the massive spread for buffet breakfast and the helpful staff when planning day trips. The Spa was wonderful, I had a couple of really great massages, friendly staff and a clean comfortable environment. That pool though - if it wasn't so hot when we were there (April) I could have spent days hanging out there.

Location is great but you need a taxi for everything. Is about 20min drive from Death Railway. Pool is really clean and deep too, it was always really quiet. Rooms were just what we needed, with a nice balcony. Clean and hygienic. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. The chef even made a vegetarian Pad Kra Pao for me. The Sawasdee cocktail is to die for.

The welcome and service of the staff was wonderful. It was right next to the river with a beautiful setting for dinner. The pool was magnificent. It’s almost a destination in itself.

The hotel is in a lovely setting on the River Kwai, with a beautiful pool. The rooms were comfortable, and the food a decent quality. The centre of Kanchanaburi is only about a 10-minute drive away.
