Sometimes you get what you pay for. . .
Quiet, cheap with comfortable bed.
Cramped shower/toilet.
Raft floating on the river Kwai.
Close to nightlife & restaurants, far enough for quiet sleep.

So, after having such nice welcomes.everywhere I've ever been in Thailand, here was a bit of a shock. There is no real welcome and interaction comes across at best nonplussed, at worst rude.
But if you come prepared for that and you have a room on the raft, they are lovely and are good value for the price. Once you get over the lack of interaction with anyone.... It's great! The view from the river are really lovely to wake up to.

This floating hotel is okay if you are wanting the most basic of accommodations. If you are wanting something a bit more refined, keep looking. The bathroom was filled with mosquitoes that were entering through a hole on the floor that was drilled to drain shower water. The room had a lot of noise from adjacent rooms. If you don’t speak Thai, you will find communication with the staff difficult. We mostly dealt with a young boy that was camped out on the couch in the “lobby”. My wife speaks Thai, so we managed.

Nice location on a raft on water. Also close to lax Al restaurants and bars. You can actually sit on the balcony and have the feet in the river.

Our stay for 5 nights was very nice.
The room had a balcony which was lovely in the afternoon with no sun and a cool breeze, we sat there with our feet dangling in the water having a beer most afternoons.
The bed was very soft and comfortable which is not so common in Thailand.
It’s a 5 minute walk to the local bar area and if you want to rent a scooter there are places nearby. We will stay again on our next trip

Verbrauchtes Hotel, Zimmer alt, Zustand schlecht. Pluspunkte waren die Aussicht und die Lage. Für den Preis zu teuer! Für backpacker evtl gut.

Great river view, easy walk to Kanchanaburi station and shops and market. Room looking rather tired, needed a bit of renovation. Overall good value for money.
If using this town as a base for Hellfire Pass, staying at Nam Tok would be a better choice.

We have stayed in this hotel twice before and it was newish with friendly staff. This time the staff were very stern faced and no maintenance has been carried out for years.
Obviously the location is still perfect but we won't be staying again.

A little bit of a walk into Kanchanaburi but very quiet and peaceful. Lovely comfy small rooms though could do with some hanging space. Breakfast very nice.
