I have stayed in many hotels including some of the best in Europe and Asia, and can honestly say that for the first time on my travels I have found a hotel where I am convinced I will definitely come back to as a first choice. This is because most hotels I have stayed in aspire to meet the standards... more

Booked Kwai Oriental based on TripAdvisor ratings and fully met / exceeded expectations. Hosts are friendly, helpful and organised ; location is quiet and relaxing; accommodation is very smartly decorated and furnished and spotlessly clean ; pool, lobby, restaurant and surrounding gardens are well laid out and immaculate. Resort is a little way out of Kanchanaburi so did not visit... more

Serene, insanely clean, absolutely beautiful, and the owners could not be nicer. Associated spa is really, really good too and the relationship between the two is so smooth it is actually better than if they were on the same property - NO disappointment with anything at either establishment. I went with my brother but extended three nights and stayed alone... more

My husband & kids (9 & 6) & I stayed here for three nights in late October during a five week trip around Asia. Everyone in the family thought it was the nicest hotel we stayed in. We had a huge family bungalow with a groovy bathroom (open stone wall shower). Great restaurant overlooking the river .. David & I... more

It was like arriving at the gates of heaven and being allowed in! Greeted with a refreshing cold drink, then shown to our adorable little cottage room. Idyllic setting on the River Kwai, fantastic service from all the staff, and all at a very reasonable price. This is a place to go, when you are in need of a treat... more

Ofcourse we did some research before actually making the reservation and therefore read... more

This resort is close to the tiger temple & river kwai in Kanchanaburi. & whilst it is small it over looks the beautiful river Kwai & gardens. The staff were always pleasant & helpful & nothing was a problem, the owners even suggesting for us the cheapest way to get back to Bangkok. Their web site is exactly how the... more

Wow we didn't expect such luxury for so little. This hotel is a little piece of heaven, we had 3 nights here and wished we had booked longer. Djo & Evelyn made our trip enjoyable and helped us to arrange day trips. We had booked a family room and we had a 2 bedroom apartment which was spacious and comfortable... more

After three weeks of backpacking we granted ourselves a little luxury. The hotel deserves every star of tripadvisor.com. Nice owners, nice staff, a beautiful scenery, very good food... Truely a jewel of asia. more
