Reviews
This is the best located hotel for visits to the Bridge on the River Kwai. If you are prepared to walk over the bridge then taxis to town and other sites are cheaper. If not then shuttles and taxis from the hotel may seem expensive.
The hotel tours desk was non-existent whilst we were there. They could not even be contacted by phone from the hotel staff who tried their best. They ended up arranging a local tour guide for us who proved excellent. Name and phone number can be given if anyone is interested.
